Even if it has been brought back (temporarily) for pedestrian safety, it is part of BMW DNA and heritage. Take as examples, the iconic E9 and E24. |

Longer and wider? Eventually it will be bigger than the 5 used to be, if it isn't already.

Brands like Mercedes and Audi and Porsche do NOT offer maintenance at all and are doing just fine. Those brands do offer packages for you to BUY a prepaid maintenance plan, which is what I think BMW will end up doing after the smoke settles. |

Are the exhausts tips changing??? they look round but the hole on the bumper looks rectangular and way bigger... does BMW always do this on prototypes or are we finally getting some nice looking exhaust tips instead of the soda straws??

Its a shame they get bigger and bigger. F30's are about the size of a E23 7 and now this will be bigger than a E39, approaching E38 size.

Well due to the high fleet and entry model sales in Germany then yes these will be available as standard equipment.

There was an aftermarket company that advertised they were going to offer a solution. But were intercepted legally as they would have altered intellectual property as well as compromised front end safety aspects of the car.

BMW have got away with it for 3 generations I think a fourth is pushing it somewhat. If we see standard LED/Xenon on M Sport / Luxury then that would at least be a sensible step towards the 21st Century |

I dont see the point. I had to replace my xenons once I believe in the last decade and never had to replace any LEDs. So whats the use of incandescent lights which have to be replaced like every year anyway.

It's a German car. The day BMW, Mercedes and Audi offer standard xenon lights across the line up, I'll drink beer out of a shoe. |
