The DRL on pre-LCI G60, G05 and G06 LCI are the examples of how BMW is losing the plot in terms of light design, especially in comparison to the previous models which is so unfortunate. Hopefully, the G45 will be sticking with the G01 LCI’s DRL design with some of the modern touches here and there.Finally no upside-down, "snake eyes" DLRs or what so ever BMW doing these days. Keep going with the L/J/U-light design. The photoshop above looks stunning!
I agree, and don´t forget the iX, XM and G70 too. BMW had so much identity in their light design, now they are just "one of all".The DRL on pre-LCI G60, G05 and G06 LCI are the examples of how BMW is losing the plot in terms of light design, especially in comparison to the previous models which is so unfortunate.

When you base a render on the X1. You still get X1 proportions.
The production of G45 starts in August 2024.When is this out?!? Desperately waiting for the X3M.. considering Audi wont make an RSQ5 and the GLC AMGs are crap, this still has the potential to be a monster
They will no doubt be in tandem with the X5.It shouldn't be anywhere near accurate, but those lights do have something from the spy photos

Y Shape like the X5 facelift.The shape looks great. Typical X3 greenhouse as well.
Proportions are excellent.
Design seems to be very X1-ish which is good because the X1 is the best looking BMW in the whole lineup.
Rear seems very flat, to the point it is of interest design wise.
Rear lights seem to go full Y shape not just in graphics.
This and the iX3 are going to be a hard to beat combination.
I’m in the mood for a sweeping statement: buck-for-buck, here comes the best road-biased SUV.
Perhaps but quite frankly I really need to get used to the new Macan’s shape, looks like it was hatched by Big Bird..Well the new Macan is on the horizon too, and that will likely give a bang for the buck in therms of dynamics.
