Bmw design language is like a runaway train, it will crash and it will cost a lot to fix

Was wondering the same, looks like DRL decoration to me, but honestly I don’t see any projectors/lenses anywhere on the entire front end. Could be more concept than production I suppose, which would be a shame because those tiny headlights look cool. Wouldn’t mind losing the light up grill though.

At some point during the past decade (not exactly clear when) BMW put together a research team to determine what "handsome" is. They worked tirelessly, day and night, for many years, until finally they revealed the results which was loved by the executives and has permeated throughout BMW design for the past couple of years; "Handsome" is a pig's face. Nothing is more handsome than a Pig's snout. Pig is handsome.

Headlights may be located in the bumper, and these are the DRL. The new 7-Series and X7 LCI will have some variation of the headlights in the bumper-look as well.

Regardless, this is not the time for BMW to resemble a Hyundai at this price range.

It's only a concept so most likely they will be removed for final production

as others noted, considering this is a concept the "lights" are likely there to exaggerate and attract attention to the aero bulges that run down the sides of the roof. the M3/M4 have some aero design elements to their carbon roofs so it would seem aero flourishes in the roof is going to be an M thing.

That said I suppose it is possible the lights could make it to prod, i dont know enough about DOT Regs to offer an opinion.

if the vehicle is over 80 inches wide then it needs to have bunch of amber lights on top. X6/7 is already ~79 inches wide so maybe this teaser is foreshadowing?

I rather like the wide and big grill than tall and big grill (of the 4 series).

What I dont like is the phasing out of Angel Eyes...

To me the enlarged grills work only on X models. I like it so far.

Looks are in line with the X8M renders earlier in the year.

Concept design. Take a look at the i4 concept headlights and what the production version looks like. Lights look completely different. Same thing will happen here.

This will sell just like the G8X sells but the true test for BMW will be whether these new customers lease another BMW or move on to the next shiny thing.
