I like but the twin-kidney looks a little too much like Pontiac's.

Looks nice, love the "wet" paint look on it.
Is this suppose to be reincarnated M1?

the twin kidney IS bmw's signature...almost as much as the roundel.

i think it's awesome. i don't think bmw would ever produce something that line-y/curvey though.

I think so. I'm sure 90% is speculation but there's been talk of BMW making something to rival the R8 and it would possibly serve as like a new M1. That was all before the bottom dropped out of the car market though. I couldn't see them producing something like this anytime soon, but it looks cool.

I know and I'm sure BMW never liked Pontiac's late 90's cars ever getting so close to it but they won't have to worry about that anymore.

I doubt this rendering had anything to do with BMW.
