BMW has many of the very best, most elite automotive designers and 3D modeling artists in the world. Even if you're not a fan of the direction, there's a reason "OEM" looks "OEM".
There's so many subtle details in OEM BMW design that we completely take for granted, but stick out like sore, ham-fistedly molded thumbs when they're executed to a lower standard. The bottom line is that BMW's artists are orders of magnitude better than the guys at our favorite aftermarket outfits. It's like street ballers vs. LeBron James. Amateurs vs. pros.
Every render and physical exploration has looked super unprofessional or like a photoshop mashup of BMW's own multi-million dollar professional designs and art from other models. Very few are going to swap polished OEM design for unpolished aftermarket work on the front fascia of an $80-100k vehicle. Commit to the time, effort, and expense of commissioning top-flight artists or hit the pause button and wait 3-5 years for values to sufficiently drop and less discerning owners to get in the G8x game.
