Even thought that's a quote from autobild the part that talks about the unique headlights in front and rear is supposed to be coming from Scott26 as he mentioned this several times afterwards...

''Autobild in a part of their own "What if?" series in which classics are re-invented apply this thinking to the BMW CS to debate the question "What if?"
Of course BMW will continue to ask "What if?" with both the CS/CSi/CSL and the classic 2002 earmarked for future Hommage's. The 2002 will be the lead-in car for the all new 2er Coupe. A car that inherits some of the design thinking of the original 2002 as it is no longer a 1er. ''

this is basically the magazines OWN opinion of an ''what if'' question, its basically their own idea of mixing all the things together after studying the hommage's design. in my opinion i dont think the hommage will offer much significance to the future brands design, but instead the I8 concept will.
