The big kidneys may be due to things like public opinion, which is not always the same as what people on this board think, and the Euro pedestrian safety regulations that dictate a more bulbous front-end. Audi started down this path a couple of years ago and at first I hated the huge "shield" grills, but I've grown to like them. I now look at older Audis with the flat strip grill and think they look dated. It may be that many will look back at the current smaller BMW kidneys and think the same thing.
