This is Creative Marketing at it's most , well.... creative.
Throw Huckfeldt some early design phase crumbs ,let him do his work
Let the tease begin with maximum publicity as it spreads and then everyone debates and comments on the "teaser" of the design.
And debate you will....
Look at that early four door Coupe shot and you can see some next 6er ideas like the rear of the car and the now classic roof line , personally I think the current E63 will still look good as the replacement draws close - It has such an individual modern appearance that I think it will be a classic BMW tomorrow in the sense of how the E24 is perceived today.

Yes that's the one . look at the shoulder line and how it forms an interpretation of the rear of the current car where the rear wing meets the bootlid and allows the lights to be placed on each corner. That is very representitive of the F13 - The Brief is :" It's already a good looking car lets extend it's design and evolutionize it's appearence. Lets not go too crazy!"
The front headlights will be of the new design as seen on the CS Concept but will not have the circular cut out just a straight across slit. The Cabrio will extend it's appeal by offering a folding Hardtop and BMW are working with a (Supplier) on reinterpretating the current cars fin roof design with a folding hardtop configuration - One idea shows the rear glass area connected from the rear side windows to the rear wind deflector glass piece with the roof folding over giving the Cabrio a look similar to the rear butress of the Ferrari F599 GTB.
Although perceived as a GT Coupe by many circles BMW want to now take the 3rd generation back to it's roots and be credible when facing it's more serious performance rivals.
