The M50i is a great looking SAV for sure and I may end up with one if the numbers don't work for the XB7. That said, the BMW engineers could learn a few things from the Alpina design team. The changes to the front and rear of the luxury model are subtle but very good looking. The rear especially is the best.
A loaded GLS580 approaches $130,000 which means the AMG 63 version will be at least $150,000. While I understand the looks of the Alpina XB7 isn't for everyone, the pricing is just about what I was expecting, even a bit less.
