You don't undestand wht the nose of a full size car that holds V8 and larger engines and the radiator necessary for that is large? What's there to understand?
As was mentioned TWICE in this thread already, new pedestrian safety regulations REQUIRE a more vertical nose with no bumper protrusion, AND space ABOVE the engine for a crush zone if a pedestrian gets hit and falls onto the hood (with room under the hood to the engine, it can be softer and allow it to soften the impact). It isn't about design, but about how to design around stupid governmental regulations. I think they did a damn good job of designing around the regulations while still keeping the BMW identity.
The commentary here has been stupid. So many people sound like teenagers that don't have a clue.
