Can't be. There's no reason that the farther side of the car should be so much more reflective than the closer side of the car. And it's not just that that reflection is strong – It's almost exactly the same saturation/brightness as the actual car itself.
Another thing that doesn't make sense is that the perspective of the car is a straight-on side view. The front of the reflection respects this, but then the back skews, as if the camera angle suddenly got way lower.
And for my last note, look at the front wheels... I know concept cars generally have wheels that fill their wells, but if you look at that wheel, it
can't possibly turn the other direction without slamming into the metal, especially considering how deep the wheels are (judging by how far back the brake rotors are). Even with shallower wheels, the turning angle would be too much for that well to handle, but with those deep wells, that's downright ridiculous.
And it's almost senseless to explain that (even though I'm no expert), that clearly isn't Bangle's design technique. The front turn signals are way off, the gap between the bumper and front-fender panels is too large, the crease on the hood is all wrong (it should be a sharp concave point, not a bump), I've yet to see Bangle use flashy fish gills, and the kidney grills are all effed up. Also, I think the most fortelling part is in the door... the front of the door has an opening that goes all the way down to the bottom of the car, while the rear of the door has its opening stopping at the fish gills. And, that line going across it near the bottom is obviously a crease, not an opening. That door would (literally) be impossible to open.
I'd rather buy a used BMW's instead.
