the upper lights on the "split headlights" still look like stickers to me. Now, the "split taillights" are a new thing we haven't seen in previous pictures

I dunno ... the edges look a little fuzzy like DRLs showing through the camo stickers. It's one thing to camo/disguise design features, but actually going to the trouble to think up, make, & place fake / misleading design elements seems too far for BMW to care enough to go. Slapping the camo over those new DRLs seems like the Occam's Razor answer. |

The lower lights also look tacked on - oddly square and doesn’t transition from the surrounding panels - almost like they were recessed inside the front end. I can’t imagine that would be the final. Maybe wishful thinking.

BMW has a history of fooling gullibles with stickies. I bet the engineers get a crackle when they read all the reports in the press and forums..

Did you miss the XM concept? It has split headlights.

BMW has already confirmed that higher end models, such as the XM, X7, and 7er will receive split headlights to set them apart. While it is an LCI, that still means new bumpers which the headlights are located in.

I don’t see split headlights on the XM
https://www.bmwusa.com/concept-vehicles/xm.html I actually think the lower set of headlights in the spy shots look weird and tacked on - like the old halogen bulbs instead of LEDs. But with reflector assembly, etc, hard to see how they would “tack on” a set of headlights to hide the redesign a la Concept XM. |

The styling change tucking the headlights into the shadows under the "intake cheekbone"design lines combine with a tint similar to the G80/82 shadowline headlights should leave the lower section reasonably hidden/blended. I do not expect it to be as good as the XM concept but good enough that someone not "in the know" (which is 99% of those on the road) wouldn't be able to pick out the lights without a long look. |

Judging by the rear exhaust it's an Alpina.
