Styling issues with BMW headlights

As it is said, one picture is worth thousand words, so take a look and...

What the heck??

I could understand similarity to the Merc, but this? Cheap brands?? Why?
Another thing is that if VW 'borrows' some stylistic solutions from premium brands, not much can be done with it (however Golf 7 FL debuted 3 years ago, while 7er this year); it also should be noted that - ironically - in some cases VW is getting similar more to the BMW (above-mentioned LEDs in Golf or side profile in Euro-Passat), than to its closest VAG's cousin - Audi.

Anyway, does anybody remember year 2000? Great revolution (still in use!), when unparalleled to any other thing E39 LCI appeared with its unique rings (angel eyes) emphasised in modern way one of the most famous BMW feature which are 2 pairs of the headlights...

Hey, BMW, we need something like that now... A hallmarks for another 20 years. There are so many fresh and good ideas, fan renders, why not to apply them... I know that now LEDs are very cheap and everyone may use them in any imaginable way, but this works both ways...

PS Looking at the 5er LCI spyshots it is too late for the rescue
