The angel eyes are indeed part of BMW DNA and I love them. As for round taillights on corvette that is something that does not bother me. I like the ew ones better.

A few people say that he forgot to mention the kidney grills. Well most manufacturers use a similar grill design on their range, not just BMW. Dodge usually has the same 4 part design, Astons have that distinct shape that Ford ripped off, Pontiac as their design that is really similar to BMW, Jeeps usually have 7 holes and I remember hearing about them suing Hummer over replicating it.

On the Angel Eyes, thats one thing I hate about my Z4. They kind of did it, but its only on 2 bulbs instead of 4 and they are hard to see because the parking light comes on with them and overpowers the weak rings. They're also way too small. We have a couple companies for our platform that do conversions to LED rings, but they just don't look as good as the bigger rings on other BMWs.

Doesn't matter where I park, I always leave the "parking lights" on so that one side has the angel eyes on at all times. Just looks cool

Interesting, considering the i8 lacks them. Atrocious decision.

Hopefully they are back for LCI.
