First off, there's this thing called "technology" which lets car-makers have headlights that don't have to take up a square foot of space each, but will still put out enough light to see.

If you'll look closely, you'll notice that the headlight *area* is actually right about the size of most headlights, it just doesn't have the mirror assembly. Perspective makes it look weird. This car looks great, except the area directly behind the front wheels needs to be tightened up a bit, it's closer to the ground than the front fender. Besides that, it looks great.

And I like the way BMW is headed, I used to look at BMWs and just shake my head in disgust. Every time I see a Z4 pass I watch it in admiration. BMW should keep up the good work!

Also, as to wether or not the image is just a CG model, that doesn't rule out its being an actual car at some point. Nowadays most concept cars are CG models first, it's easier to mess with. It's just harder to showcase a CG model than the full-scale pieces at car shows.
