If you scroll up to the 14th post of this thread, you'll see how they have changed the wheel design, filling up half the gap between each double spokes. Other M performance models have this basic wheel design, and the 118i 18" M Sport wheels have similar slit between spokes, just that their gap goes from wheel hub to rim edge, not filled up half way.
I see, indeed the gap between the two spokes has been bridged now.

When you compare both wheels next to each other, I agree the concept was a bit more "special". But to me, the it's not such a big deal. It still remains a special and nice wheel. Besides, it will be more rigid like this.

This detail will only be noticed by the 0,0001% enthousiast I guess.
