American cars in the 60s and 70s were loaded with fake air intakes. I hated them then, and I hate them now.

The Air Breathers on the side of the front wheel arch are actually function over form. They are not there to add detail to a blank sheet of metal. They actually work. Expect more BMWs including the next 7er and 5er to have Air Breathers.
Its a development of EfficientDynamics. BMWs Eco philosophy and every BMW is developed now to conform to this philosophy.

And, you can simply disclose this kind of information to us? And... still keep your job?

Sorry for the confusion. I don't work for design works, simply live in the same city and see their prototypes running around.

Cheers
