I see that some of the disguise has now come off.

Encouraging

Yes, entering FEP phase now.
It means we are only a few months away from FAP phase.

Render....rear lights totally off, and if I`m correct, that "ass" is based on 3 series....

They of course used the source material so there is a good understanding of how the character line is portrayed in order to give the car a very much athletic appearance. In fact the only athletic car in its segment. As it is very muscular especially around the front and rear wheel arches instead of being flat.
This is apparent in new competitors.

^looks like shit

I hope this render isn't the real thing. Front looks ok, but the way the double 'characterline' is executed is to me plain ugly and sort of picks up the W212 pre FL theme. The rear lights remind me of the 2er coupe.

Ofcourse is not a real one
But will be very similar to this one.

Pretty close to the real deal. Character line looked more subtle irl. Rearlights were my turn-off... this rendering tells you why. To me, they looked even bigger because they reach very far into the side ...

But the headlight and in tailight makes the different now in bmw,
So of course still not like the real one if the tailght and headlight not the same as the real one.

Does anyone know what's happening here? Laser measure check or something?

Munich. The BMW Group is the first automobile manufacturer to introduce a unique system concept with a fully-automated, optical measuring cell in its pilot plant in Munich. Freely moving robot arms use sensors to create a three-dimensional image of the entire vehicle and generate a 3D data model from the data captured, with an accuracy of less than 100 µm. This allows barely visible deviations to be identified at an early stage.

The optical measuring cell is deployed at the interface between development and series production. It forms part of the BMW Group’s digitalisation strategy for production and supports the high quality standards for production of premium vehicles. The next generation of the BMW 5 Series Sedan will be the first to benefit from this new technology.

Eduard Obst, Head of Geometric Analysis, Measuring Technology and Cubing, Total Vehicle, explains: “We are delighted to reach this genuine milestone in preproduction with the optical measuring cell: A single measurement provides us with a 3D data model of the total vehicle. Lengthy individual measurements and data collation are no longer needed – saving time and enhancing quality at the start of series production.”

A robot arm on rails mounted on each longitudinal axis of the optical measuring cell moves freely as it maps the vehicle in complete space. Occupying a relatively small area, this set-up allows two small, flexible robots to be used in parallel in an optimum working range. Compared with previous processes, in which robots use a single sensor to record one side of the vehicle after the other, measurements now only take around half the time and are completed within just a few days.

The robots are fitted with two sensors that record reference points and then capture individual surface areas of approx. 80 x 80 cm each. These are combined to form a scan of the entire vehicle. Analysis of the data quickly reveals any deviations, allowing technical integration specialists in the Production division to take appropriate action early on.

Three-dimensional vehicle scanning can be fully automated and performed at off-peak hours or at night, so the measuring cell can be utilised to full capacity. With results delivered promptly, update cycles are shorter or no longer needed. The measurement data and analysis findings are shared online within the production network and also made available to the plant responsible for series production to assist with their preparations.

The fully-automated optical measuring cell is gaining increasing importance within the BMW Group. This technology has been successfully used in toolmaking in Munich since 2015 for complete measurement of individual sheet-metal parts, as well as tool inspection.

The BMW Group is currently exploring the use of automated optical measurement at its automobile plants.

Thanks @Matski

Does anyone know any information on the exhausts?

Which models will get the circular and which models will get the oval shape?
