Not true, they have active shutters on the grills and half of them are permanently blocked off.
Well if what you're saying is the case, that's absolutely absurd. They only need to be there to cool the engine down. If they're only being increased in size just for their visual aesthetics then obviously I'm not a fan. Function over form, but the kidney grills are iconic and need to be done right. On the new 8 Series Grand Coupe Concept they are designed and executed very well.
