It's not just you lol. In addition to your questions / observations, we know how important aerodynamic / wind tunnel tests are to BMW. In the G01, they sealed the "air breathers" and got an industry leading CD (30i = CD 0.29 and M40i = CD 0.33). Do you also think that the production X3M does not / may not have the signature M fender flares because it would mess with the G01's aerodynamics / CD? It will be interesting to see if the X3M requires functional air breathers and no fender flares to keep that CD low.
