as for the car when it comes out, it's going to look exactly like the concept, except that the windows will have pillars and the brake lights will be LED bulbs instead of LED tubes. and oh yea, the mirrors will be normal size.

i just don't get how people could be soooo disappointed when you're virtually looking at the SAME car, except with some tape on it.
Not true. They did X3 facelift pretty early when they got away with plastic bumpers(US only) and then the 2nd facelift with partial black bumpers. BMW is moving towards 2 facelifts in lifecycle of a model.
