Yup, shark + BMW goes way back.
Few chapters earlier in the automotive history book, Corvette's were also considered sharks before the term "Stingray" popped up, starting with the Mako Shark prototype in 1961.
Even with the 1968 "new" model, the shark profile was still used as an inspiration for the body. The four vertical side vents is a clear giveaway to this.

The first BMW "shark-nose" design was the 2000 CS (1965-1968)

Hope they continue the legacy with the "Concept CS": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U8eD...eature=related
