Many previous renders ignored that area and just have a giant vacuum grille, which, technically is true, however, as seen in the leaked 4 series, there is a slight distinction in that area even without a plate bracket in that the grille is closed off there, creating a subtle horizontal visual cue. While seemingly minor, this creates a very different design visually. You guys have really nailed it, I think. And it is not a bad looking car.
I agree the sketches are looking good but shouldn't we expect the horizontal slats to continue in the license plate area as opposed to plain black plastic as shown in the colored sketches? I'm sure it will still look like a giant grill and they will try to disguise the horizontal closed piece in the license plate area by using horizontal grill slats...
