I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. I was not referring to the turn signals being moved to the mirrors, which I don't mind at all and actually prefer on most vehicles. What I was reacting to was the fact that BMW didn't want to create new front panels to account for this change, and instead appears to be continuing to use the pre-LCI panels and merely placing a model identifier/badge where the turn signal used to be.

Looks cheap, and reflects a poor cost-savings attitude on BMW's part for the world to see.
