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.

I like it, don't get me wrong, is maybe one of the nicest BMW's right now with no headlamps that are stretched to the grills, no hood line, not to busy, well balanced. As a whole the vehicle is really nice, but the nostrils are just where I can accept them; a little bit larger and wouldn't be acceptable for me. I am waiting for the new X4.
