"This is BMW saying "fuck all y'all" the way they did with E65. It was an ugly car whose design breakthroughs were later adopted by many other manufacturers in milder, more palatable forms."

The difference was that the E65 ( which is ugly ) and the E60 ( which is damn cool in M5 version ) is that they really were a modern design. There was nothing like it out there, you couldn't say it looks like a mix of this and that existing car. Dame Edna's glasses, yep but it was still fresh. This X7 exterior looks like a mess of existing cars with a gross grill attached. That said if BMW do a similar cleanup between this concept and the production model as they did between the E65 and E60 you could very well be right. But as it is? I have doubts...
