On the bright side, it didn’t get the buck-teeth grill.

I'm surprised for once that they've actually reduced the number of lines and creases. That being said, I don't see an improvement. I actually liked the notched headlights. What really is interesting to me is the middle of the grill seems to have a cut out, possibly for the adaptive cruise radar?

That looks terrible! It's like they fitted an Audi grill underneath the BMW kidney grill LOL

I think the normal "not notched" headlight is good idea.

That looks like the new M2 headlights above the 3's, in the second to last picture. It has the black surround that matches the shape of the leaked M2 bumper. Everything else looks to be a downgrade for the G20.

Interesting… too hard to tell for me if the outline of both match exactly, they do look a tad different in shape/direction.

That bottom picture looks close to the shape of the headlights, flat bottom and slight curve towards the outer edge. Hopefully I'm wrong because I don't like what I'm seeing in either case |

100% positive this is not the LCI and an Asian company testing new frontend and headlights.
Development photos arent usually taken in a shop or on the kitchen floor lol. |

I disliked the notch in the headlights on the G20, but now that I see this spy shot, that area looks too bare and generic. Funny how our eyes adjust with time.
