I'll agree that the headlights are still too big for this car, but while we might not like them, I seriously doubt its going to hurt sales much. History has already proven it so...everyone thought the "dame-edna" e60s headlights were disgusting, and that the interiors of the 7-series and 6-series were terrible, ( not mention their "bangle-butts" ), and the first Z4 was considered the epitome of everything negative with Chris Bangle...and yet, they sold. I guess ultimately, the BMW badge, its status, and of course, the driving experience trump any flaws we see in their design. Let's just hope they didn't screw THAT up.
