I like the overall design, it has potential BUT…..

If you can spec this thing with all black shadowline trim, and big black wheels, throw some frozen paint on it or go the xpel stealth PPF route, then I think it looks mean/menacing - note the rendering that has been circulating.

All the gold/bronze trim is ridiculous and doesn't work on the iX, and won't work on this.
All that being said, holy sheet MSRP is in the wrong planetary system. This is an X7 platform based SUV that BMW decided should be priced like a halo car. My take on it is that BMW knows they failed making the i8 a halo car, so they are trying this approach. I think this is a great looking SUV.
But let's all be real with ourselves. When you spec it with options, paint, wheels, and then add the guaranteed ADM's that the bmw dealership network will charge, you end up having a 210-230k SUV. Gentleman, and ladies, that's a different league. One that an X7 based SUV that's been worked over by M division, just shouldn't be playing in. I see no business reason this car couldn't have come in at 139k base and maybe 155k for the red label, and packaged fully loaded like the M5CS. Just my thoughts.
