Lightened the shadows in this pic - interesting deisgn in the bottom left with the angular slat.
Very clearly appears to be horizontal grille slats - which seems ridiculous from a historical design lineage perspective.
Is it just me or does it look like BMW took the X7 grill, cut it in half, turned each half so the tops connect to make the slats horizontal, and tacked it on the production nose to mask the true grill design???
