I can't even say how this marketing vocabulary makes me feel...
Yeah, from what I can see, is full of sensors, cameras and GoPro.
And even if they are behind, I understand to eliminate the vertical lines in the nostrils, but obviously there was no need to cut the middle section of the BMW iconic grille.
They chopped that grille and now it looks like a Chinese copy.


And that lower air grille looks like a dumb smiling mouth. BMW Pixar.
