As someone who drives a car with a separated grille I am not blind to the fact that BMWs are supposed to have a joined grille. They always did have that...you can't change history....and BMW design just seems like they're going back to how it should be...E30 and prior.
BMW's Twin Kidney Grilles have always been changing.
They touched on the 2002.
On the 507 and 328 Roadsters, they didn't touch.
On the 328 Roadster and 2002, they were vertical (tall), on the 507, they were horizontal (wide).

Who's to say which one is the "correct" configuration?
Whether they touch or not is not the matter.
The only important (and consistent) thing that shouldn't change is that they should retain the "twin" element from a visual perspective, meaning that so long as they don't merge into a single grille, then it's still a BMW Twin Kidney Grille.
