So, what makes this XM so unique? Well, according to the Bavarian brand, it’s the first vehicle in its history to be designed using materials from the high-fashion industry. Inspired by Campbell’s favourite colour, the exterior of the XM Mystique Allure is wrapped in a “deeply saturated” ultramarine shade with matte finish. In addition, the exterior has also been handed velvet trimmings and “shimmering” metallic sequins. Said BMW, “The iridescent surfaces were created with precise hand-craftsmanship and a fine eye for detail.” This design has been carried over to the interior, where deep purple finishes can be found all around.

“Witnessing BMW’s vision for the BMW XM Mystique Allure come to life has been truly incredible … I feel deeply honoured to have sparked the inspiration for their first-ever high-fashion show car, which stands as a unique masterpiece in every aspect,” said Naomi Campbell.
