Apparently it is between the x7 and x5 in size. Pretty big considering not a three row.

Looks a bit underwheeled. Maybe because of those wheel covers or transport mode...

NGT2 · 05-17-2022, 04:16 PM

It's not that I don't like it. It just looks more like a Range or Explorer or maybe even a Rav 4 like others have said. It's not that it looks bad, it just doesn't look like a BMW. I think BMW's unique style is part of what has set it apart. Same with Mercedes. You know one when you see it.

Looks huge. Shaped like the VW Atlas.

TheJerseyDon · 05-17-2022, 04:22 PM

Man, how are the brakes supposed to vent with those solid wheel covers? J/K

Excited to see it filly revealed

The proportions are just awful, the rear especially.

I remember when BMW first showed us this car concept, and asked for our opinions. The response was horrendous, almost all stated the car was very disproportionate, not a good looking car, and to please not make the car.

So what does BMW do? They proceed to not listen to their buyers and build it anyway with no changes.

This feels like a stupidity squared sort of moment, I truly don't know why they continue to double down on these failed-design models, and push them to the public. It's really strange, and not a good business model to essentially build the opposite of what people want.

It's as good looking as the Urus. Meaning people are going to buy it for the badge not because they think it's beautiful.

Oh wow is that a wireless charging pad area that actually fits modern phones and actually has some slight future proofing to it? Wish they could have foresaw this in the 5 series. 🙄

And the ugly dark wheel arches with matching "side skirt" things and disjointed lines….

nathanm4 · 05-17-2022, 05:27 PM

The concept XM looks way much better

But I still like the production model.

Looks good so far.

Wonder where these airport pics were taken? South Africa as it's a right hand drive model?
