The design inspiration for Skytop stems from BMW's classic models 507 Roadster and Z8, with sharp and smooth body lines, ultra-thin LED headlights, glowing kidney grille, and 'world's slimmest' blade-style taillights. Its interior configuration combines deep burgundy leather with the legacy iDrive system, retaining physical buttons for enhanced usability while exuding vintage luxury.

In the Southeast Asian market, with such vehicles, BMW has improved its brand image of "luxury paired with technology", meeting local buyers' demands for uniqueness and historical heritage.
The BMW Skytop prototype, focusing on performance, design and scarcity, has not only become a milestone in the global automotive industry, but also injected new energy into the high-end vehicle market in Southeast Asia. In emerging markets such as Thailand and Malaysia, the scarity of BMW Skytop and its customized services may trigger a new wave of high-end consumption, becoming an important link connecting brand tradition and future innovation.
