I'm sure the material and structural uses are far advanced and BMW is taking it to a new level no doubt - but I will say I think I've seen this concept for about 20 years with dune-buggies and dare say a Jeeps top (along with other apps). Dune-buggies have a basic roll gage and in dusty environments I've seen for years canvas stretched over the frame instead of sheet metal. I showed this to my Dad and he said – super advancement on the covered wagon. It is very cool - glad to see this line of thinking.
