Noticed something about the hoodlines regarding the front bumper...

Did anyone else notice that the shutline for the hood goes above the kidneys, instead of running adjacent to the top of them? Could this be a preliminary caution taken by BMW in case the upsized grilles aren't recieved in a positive manner by the public?

I do recall the e65 getting a revamped grille design after its facelift. Hmm...

Good catch. I see what you're saying, but don't really know how the higher shutline could help BMW. If anything they would make the grille thinner... surely not put it higher. In any case, I like how the shutline is more hidden on the current generation.
