We can hope. But sadly I don't think it is too realistic. I think it is telling that most of the concept design drawings BMW included with the official photos at product release for the sedan, coupe and wagon did not include the eye-catching (and not in a good way) production hoodline. I would be reluctant to ever draw that line myself. Unless it was to show how it was being eliminated by extending the hood forward to the grill.
But yes, I also know that the production design is intended to avoid hood damage/replacement in minor front end collisions, and with so few people complaining about the aesthetics, the pull of lower damage claims is almost certain to win out.
It would be nice however if they could at least make the shutline less pronounced?
