The way it looks on the M2 Competition & upcoming 8-series it looks just fine with the border.
But on the iX3, it is atrocious due to the lack of a "border" and that's when it really looks like a generic KIA grille.

What people have a problem with mainly is the lack of a defined border between the twin kidneys. The 8er grilles will look just fine.
Close but no Cigar!

BMW has had kidney grills of all shapes and sizes.

And there have been designs that were partially open like that of Kia's.
Name me a specific one besides the iX3

I'm not talking about the shape, i'm talking about the borderless, open, lack of separation
I cannot find any vintage cars with it. Maybe Dakelone can find one.

There is most likely going to be a huge radar sensor in the center of the glass open kidney grill.
