I looked at pictures for the F10, and I can't see what you mean by the skinny front though.
Sorry, I ment that the far back windshield and doors are for safety and handling reasons. Not the overhanging bumper.

Maybe not skinny...kinda hard to explain. I think the hood is too vertical for too long because everything is being pushed so far back. I think you can notice it more on the 7 series though.
