One would think. BMW traditionally sells alternative front ends between standard and MSport. So I would think that BMW could do the same with the bugs bunny grilles. I think the problem, from BMW's perspective, is that like Classic Coke, the great majority of folks will choose the classic model and that will embarrass the heck out of BMW designers and executives.
I do wish, like Vik2002, that I could stomach the IX looks as it is a nice vehicle otherwise.
