Celebrating its world premiere today at the Frieze Los Angeles art fair, the BMW i5 Flow NOSTOKANA gets its name after Mahlangu’s first son. The animated exterior uses no fewer than 1,349 sections of individually controllable film (e-ink).

In this video, Stella Clarke, the BMW engineers responsible for the BMW i5 Flow project shares with us the story behind this unique car. The electric sedan echoes the 525i E34 designed by Esther Mahlangu in 1991 when she became the first woman and African artist to work on an official BMW Art Car.

    She is so nice to listen to. An artist and an engineer in one.

    BMW and Nostokana did everything right with this. From the name to the looks. It's crazy seeing this tech exist.
  • @OlivierVanhamme
    In terms of functionality, it would be great to have the rear end of the car light up instead of having a dedicated stop light. Additionally, the color of the E-ink panels could be less harsh on the eyes at night compared to the current bright red LED stop lights.

    Horatiu, Maybe you can shine some light here. We are trying to get 3 BMWs for our family in the U.S. As of February 25, 2024, the U.S. dealers stopped taking orders for the 2024 BMW X5, X6, X7, iX, and M4 because now they are selling 2025 BMW X5, X6, X7, iX, and M4 model year. Unfortunately, when you go to BMWUSA, they are still selling all 2024 model year and not the 2025. This has been confusing because when you build the BMW on the BMWUSA’s website to share the Build Code with the dealer, they can’t process it because they are selling the 2025 model year. According to the dealer, the prices have gone up and the packages and options have changed, which adds additional layers of confusion. To complicate it more, the BMWUSA has taken all the rebates and incentives away. You almost don’t want to order a car. Can you advise? Thanks!

    These rims look really good! Does this really exist for the i5 - haven't found this design yet?

    Looking forward to see an invisible body car with this technology. So much Die Another Day
  • @egachai
    Do we really need E-ink on car for our future ???
  • @rockykropp
    Looks good, BUT… AWD I5 way too expensive! 2WD is compact-car (non EV) performance.
