I don't think you've got the headlights right at all.
You can see they look really nothing like your pic.

I've brought it up several times before and even in this thread. What ARE the odds BMW changes the looks for the sedan from the GT? I guess now that I think about it, the E90s are a good example, how the sedan has a different front and back than the coupe, but the M3 sedan has the same front as a coupe but the same rear as the non-M sedans. The wagons have a blend of both the sedan and the coupe. But that still doesn't change anything about the fact that BMW is pretty lazy in alot of other departments of their cars. But that's another story. I still feel the GT is the sedan the way the X6 is an X5; there's just that kink in the rear they'll alter to get the sedan. These cars aren't pretty at all. I think the previous BMWs were unique in that they were modern in looks, but made alot of allusions to their conservative history at the same time. This is just such a radical change and I think the new grilles on the F01 and F10 (so far) are alot like the shield that Acura puts on the fronts of their cars. Turned off alot of buyers and really changed the image of their cars. Lexus did the same with the ES. The ones from the early-2000s took such a radical turn and hasn't looked back since, building off that ugly design gradually in the newer versions of the ES they've released.

More updated pics.
Read the full story: http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/09/07/2011-bmw...-new-spy-shots/
Looks like the GT and the sedan won't be similar.
