These new headlights are a nod to the single headlights of BMWs of yesteryear, I actually think they're a great way to modernize the rings. Its gotta be really hard as a designer to try and modernize something so iconic. Glad to see BMW deviate from the same old rings an bring them to the future.

I like this concept a lot. I actually think this would make for a great production vehicle, unlike the 8 series concept, which I'm not the biggest fan of (aesthetically). I just don't understand what's up with all these concepts and then the production versions that follow soon after??

Really want to see the Toyota version now. Looking good. Very Zagato-ish?

Looks great. Looks like a fusion of the new 8 series and the Vision ConnectedDrive concept.

Yes, reminds me a lot of the Zagatos and hopefully bodes well for a coupe.

Although this is obviously a concept car/study model that will never see production, I hope that bmw uses a lot of this style in the new z4.
Maybe the new Z4 will get the role of introducing new style concepts into other bmw's to come like the E85 Z4 played that role.

I think this looks way better than the old Z4 Zagato concepts.

i agree. bmw makes a statement with twin round headlights next to each other not stacked. They will lose their identity doing this. curious what the top will look like up on it. Glad we didnt see the shifter the x1/2 got meaning this is definitely staying rwd.

That it wont look like this is a no brainer.
This concept probably couldnt even be road legally build.

This!

It?s their most iconic design feature after the kidneys - not only a shame to not have them but also kind of a waste with such a design feature to leave it out

Other than the headlights it?s drop dead gorgeous!

Thats what I thought.

How did you see the actual car? Are you able to comment on the major differences between the production car and this?

Does it have the speedster like cones behind the headrests or not?
Does it have the insanely concave steeringwheel?
Are the kidney grilles tilted downwards/backwards? (sharklike)
Is there a designated spot for a front numberplate? (the concept version misses that)

You can see on the prototypes that it doesn't. Also the top will just fold back instead of being stored beneath a panel like on the concept. I 100% believe it will be just an ordinary car as he says.

People better not get hyped about this concept at all.
