It certainly does look out of place, but I believe it is for the radar/sonar sensor that allows it to have semi-autonomous features, as is the case with the G11/12 7-Series. The kidneys are still two pieces.

I must also say, I quite dislike the black kidney grilles on the F90 as it throws off the proportions of the front end and makes the already large kidneys appear extra-large.
The G30/F90 is one of the few modern BMWs where black kidney grilles make it look uglier, more cheap-looking, and more "bro".
