Can't wait to see it without the camo because I have not been really impressed so far. The front end looks bloated to me with those kidney grills. I think it would look better if the front line of the hood matched up with the top of the kidney grills. This photo makes it look similar to the 6-series or z4 with the gap between the top of the grill and the hood line. Don't likey.

:iagree:

and wow, that rain/light sensor, lane departuring module is huge.

BMW ConnectedDrive puts the driver in the centre of an intelligent network of information, communication and driver-assistant systems, both from within the vehicle and external to it.
It brings together the powerful functionalities of BMW Assist, BMW Online, BMW Tracking, BMW TeleService and driver assistant systems, forming a single network that offers greater comfort, safety and advanced infotainment. The driver is individually and ergonomically connected to all relevant information and services.
BMW Assist is a telematics system with emergency call features and information services e.g. current traffic information. The internet platform BMW Online enables you to access e-mail, news and stock market updates on the road.
BMW Tracking uses an integrated tracking module to enable the vehicle to be quickly located in the event of theft. (Currently available in Italy only.)
BMW TeleServices communicates directly with your BMW Service partners to ensure they have all the information they need to prepare for your next vehicle service appointment. Finally, the various driver assistant systems support the driver by enhancing vehicle safety - without diminishing the unique pleasure of driving a BMW.

All Euro cars will come with high front and consequently big grills due to Euro pedestrian laws.
