I will continue to insist that it will be similar to the RR Spectre. I'm talking about daytime running lights.

I share your opinion. One of the design aspects that make the current G70 front look great and also sporty at the same time is the full width of the splitheadlights with the same proportional width. I really like this design and see it as one thing that makes the current G70 look presidential/classy while still sporty, without being too BMW-sh or sporty only like most other BMW models.
Having said that, I’m not too worried about what they’ll or may do with the LCI. I liked most of the new BMW designs, and I think they’ll do great again. Looking at the spy shots, the exterior facelift clearly is very subtle anyway. The hood, fenders, and bumper structure are exactly the same geometry. The headlights design concept is also similar. I’ll wait and see, but yes, I’d prefer to keep the full and dual headlights, not just for the look, but because they work and illuminate the road very well. They are brightness headlights I’ve ever had on any car.

I actually think that it will NOT be dual or not true dual for sure. If you look at the current lower headlights unit below, you will see THREE structures:
1. Two (large) primary LED projector modules (both actually work even with the low beam only)
2. A third smaller enlay/element toward the outer edge)
The spy shots clearly show that BMW is indeed just a single main large projector plus the same curent 3rd smaller element. So secondary one you mentioned is just the same as the 3rd already-existing one based on size and illumination in spy shots. There is no 'dual eye' look anymore. I see it as one beam plus the same smaller LED inlay for cornering/accents, like we see in the newer 5 Series and Neue Klasse designs. It’s interesting cause they were SOOOO proud if the dual beams in the intro of the G70 for the functionality aspect.
