In the corners, the former serrated headlight housings are replaced by stacked units similar to i7 and X7.
About the only change along the flanks is the switch to conventional door handles, which do away with the exhaust units on the concept. More detail has been done on the rear, the concept cutouts for the taillights are swapped for the housings like on the X6. It looks like the rear glass has been widened a bit, a welcome modification for any motorist. The rear bumper weighs heavily the diffuser of the more civilized concept and the hexagonal exhaust is angled on the new patent images.

It’s not clear which will come first. Even so, since BMW has officially talked about a 740-horsepower version, we wouldn’t be surprised if that version catches on. It is expected to launch this year, but may not be available until next spring.
