And replaced them with stuff that looks like copies of other brands - the irony!
I get that there are only so many ways of making interesting looking lights... But I also think the angel eyes looked better, and that's why it was copied. Not sure the best solution to copying is to change your own design to something less striking.
When they first started with the angel eyes, it was a master stroke as anyone seeing those headlights come up behind them knew 'BMW'. It gave the cars a great impact. I wonder what the new design does, if anything, to give the car a similar on road signature?
