You know how people have reacted to the offset sensor on the M3 and M4?
Well this eliminates this problem with the iX as it does on the iX3 and forthcoming i4 which offers the same "glitz" finish as the iX but is far more sporty.
The radar and sensors are small, sometimes very small. The obscenely large grill is ostensibly for sensors, but really because some moron in design thinks it looks "cool". He/she is probably compensating for some deficiencies. It's definitely not a clean look. Rather, it's annoyingly busy and cluttered. This is why BMW has come out with their very malicious campaign insulting literally the whole world when they criticize their busy and senseless design.
