The Chinese design patent leaked pics look like the intermediate model in between the i3 and the i8, an i5 four-seat layout coupe. The concept has the distinctive BMW twin kidneys, long wheelbase, short overhangs, BMW U-shaped daytime running LED details, round projector headlamps, the BMW 'stream flow' V-shaped blackbelt detail; an element that runs from the front hood, over the roof and to the rear in all BMW i models, similar i8 door cutout detail, distinctive air curtain openings, less curvy but sharper contour & character lines, interesting aero front fender exhaust slits, narrower rear track and tapering rear body, slim LED taillights, angular rear diffuser and narrower rear deck wing. No exhaust pipes suggest fully electric. Somehow less an i model and more Civic-like. Hope its not a BMW knockoff design.
