...they are going to market the new 2er as a distant successor to the 1600/2002, and to be fair the single headlights and the tail lights graphic are related:

Heritage already hinted to by the 2002 Hommage Concept:

BMW is obsessed with odd "throwbacks" that have no stylistic taste and most people won't appreciate.

They prioritize that stuff over actual style and that's their issue. E.g. they think a BMW "throwback" makes a car more visually attractive to the average person, and is more important than designing a car which actually looks sleek and attractive.

I could really give two F's if the new 2er has single headlights because the 2002 did. Doesn't change the fact it looks sh*t
