So i4 concept possibly, but on this I see two separate kidney grills and it just may be the camo support.

I am going to wait till final unveil.

Then see car in person, then decide if I like it.
That concept looks great but the thing is, its a concept, so the final look will never be able to be that sharp or sleek due to regulations, just look at the Z4 and 8 concepts compared to their production versions.
Umm

There's one exception, I'll give you that, but that was basically a production ready concept that fit all standards and regulations, the point was that the 8 series, Z4, and 3.0 CSL Hommage (in particular) are all concepts that don't work with EU and US regulations, (for example the 8 concept's hood and front fascia had to be changed in production (to be less sharp and angular) and other aspects were modified) meaning that the production version will likely not look 100% like the concept because it wouldn't pass regulations so aspects of it will be changed. I'm not bashing the design (not until I have seen it fully enough to judge it), but it would be hopeless to think that it will look anything close to the CSL Homage Concept
