Wonder if, based on the intel we're getting on the new 3er, whether it too will feature some of these front end design cues.

Those have to be the actual headlamps. And I like it. A ton. Very different from what's out there currently. @Horatiu - where does this sketch come from; e.g., where did Car Online get it from...do we know?? @Doug – Those can’t be the fog lamps, as we cannot expect the proper illumination to come from the “vanity” LED’s in the slits above.

The "squits" at the top are actually a pretty interesting evolution (!) of the original BMW dual headlights, and of the "rings", if that's what they intended to suggest. But yet below them is a space which looks like some of the current lamp designs, so....? Those huge foglamps.. they look like a work in progress for that space above, really. Surely they can't be serious. @Jordan: It’s not clear what the headlamps are.

Aboslute minimal effort. Yes, the current 1 Series headlight is a bit old fashioned, especially the standard one. Aboslute minimal effort.

The upside down kidney grills i think give it a more aggressive look which is good.
