What I really can't understand is why those nice details of the concept can't make it into production and I'm coming from a design/manufacturing background so I know the compromises that have to be made on a production model/product, but in this case, that extra 10% is nothing out of the ordinary in terms of manufacturing within the capabilities of a company like BMW. I wish BMW had taken an "Apple" approach to product design, they just minimize to the limits any compromise needed on production and develop their designs go into production in a 99% form.

The lights really make the car stand out. Such a shame that they won't go into production.
