It's always a bad sign when you have to defend your design. Design/style is very subjective and if people hate it, nothing you say will make a difference. Either BMW will backtrack on launch or you'll see an LCI that walks the design back just like the E65 LCI fixed the Bangle butt.

The grilles are controversial, so people are going to be inquiring about the impetus for the design for the foreseeable future. Every interview(er) will undoubtedly ask, "Why?", along with the expected supplemental questions.
