There is deliberation especially when it comes to the door apertures for production. A forthcoming concept will illustrate ideas but not necessary the final choice. Also under deliberation is the grille in which it might feature a Vision Next 100 which is shorter in width but longer in length over a grille longer in width than length. The Grille is mainly the character but of the i8 and i3 is not entirely functional.
It's true the more aerodynamic language of the i8 is inherited but there is also overtones of ideas shown from the outline of the Vision Next 100. Make no mistake but they really want to be radical with this car in both exterior and interior similar to the i8's cutting edge persona. It will also bring forth advancements in Autonomous driving. It's what I am involved with just now at one of its "off site" conceptual centres spread across the world.

Scott - you need to tell them to ditch that ugly vertical grill style. The more flattened wide grill is sleeker in appearance and blends much nicely with the headlights. This would carry the design language over much better. The UGLY CSL Concept Grill is what killed the looks of that car, not the aero or nasty yellow color
. Even tho the kidney grills on the i cars are non-functional, they should never go away. Its part of the lineage/DNA that makes a BMW a BMW just as much as the roundel and/or emphasis on chassis and driving dynamics.
