Illuminated logo in the headrests of the BMW M-Series
At BMW, the letter M has been standing for fascination and passion in the premium segment of sports cars for more than four decades. Impressive engine performance and technical DNA from the world of motorsport have traditionally been accompanied by a special design both inside and out. The M models feature a backlit logo in a prominent position in the headrest, for example, and BMW relies on MENTOR’s expertise in lighting technology for its realization. The perfect appearance of the logo both in illuminated and non-illuminated state was important here.
