Besides destroying the Kidney Grills - the other hallmarks of BMW design are also being eliminated.
1) Angel Eyes - have been squared off and now u need to get the optional lights to even get full design.
2) Hofmeister Kink - this has been all but eliminated on new designs. Now its like a kink that Lexus started on IS and LS.

Yes--current generation is "F"; new generation will be "G", like the current 330 and 5-Series.
