I still hope that there is some common sense left in the design department.

Just looked at the new X3 yesterday. Nice car overall and more pleasant as a whole , but not sure about the nostrils. Every time I said "yeah, nice, but those grills..."
I personally like the way the new X3 looks but can see how some might find the "nostrils" too large. Sometimes design has to give in a little to engineering as the large grilles on the G01 are active.

Could they have been smaller? Yes...but the G01 has the best Drag Coefficient in its class with a 0.29 CD. For reference, the Macan is at 0.37 CD.

Couldn't get the time stamp to work. The Active Grilles start at 4:15.

The X7 will most likely have the same Active Grille setup.
