Personally, I wish that BMW would copy the old BMW headlight design of the dual round headlights.

I don't think that's a Ford.
I think that's a new BMW in cameo wrap and added with an extra Ford badge to throw off nosey journalists....

Old news. BMW now uses only one headlight on each side in their new designs. Looks like my Mazda CX-5.

They all copy each other. Some new design comes out, people like it and manufacturers make it. Same happened with Audi with the eyelash.

It's not copying. Using available parts, in this case headlights, is cheaper than designing a new light design and having it manufactured.
