Beautiful and futuristic exterior. The only thing I don't like is the interior - it looks kind of outdated.

Teutonic · 03-17-2023, 08:14 PM

To be honest, the bag in the trunk perfectly describes this car…

Genius

Even their pinnacle M car is no longer appealing to drivers. Really, this observation makes me very sad.

I am with you. Hardcore fan for decades. The new BMW trend really shifted my loyalty.

This thing is going to flop. It's beyond ugly and not sure how they are justifying its price.

Give me a matte flat black motif ......... buy hey that is just me. I would love carbon if the OEM's would tone down the gloss with satin. The list goes on and on.

The design element(s) are leaning towards LEGO. LEGO is a Danish company. Research is in order. Automobile designers create an art form. It did not exactly end up well for Bangle, but what we have now is somewhat louder than what Bangle created with the same amount of ewwwwwwwwwww.........ahhhhhhhhhh. Some like it and some don't. It's a gamble for the OEM's.

Completely agree. I simply don’t get it.

Agree about interior, why not make it more like the new 7 series?!

Peculiar would be the word I’d use as well. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, this is the first time I have zero interest in a new BMW model.

The J-Man · 03-18-2023, 12:23 AM

This thing fucking sucks.

M2 Ziggy · 03-18-2023, 03:57 AM

Maybe the bag in the boot is to put over your head so no one can see you driving this pig

pseudoid · 03-18-2023, 07:16 AM

Guessing target market is China.

An ostentatious ultra-premium super PHEV SUV flopping? I guess we’ll see.

Laguna01///M3 · 03-18-2023, 08:39 AM

Seen one today.

MUFCbmwbear · 03-18-2023, 10:32 AM

Saw this one at Milwaukee North

If Im shopping this price range I’d go for the Alpina BX7 or X5M instead.

Original · 03-18-2023, 11:47 AM

Big pass on this one.

RSXDC5 · 03-18-2023, 12:52 PM

Yet another example of bmw pushing a failed design language and not listening to their customer base.

Horrendous vehicle.

Jeep insists the public wanted the Grand Wagoneer…

BMW insists we wanted this xM… actually for 160,000 I’d like a real M1 successor..

Msparta · 03-18-2023, 02:32 PM

I recall when the first X6 came out - all the hate and dislikes for the design… it’s one of the most liked SUV’s out currently and somehow I think this is the power of bmw design language over time… based purely on being different has a weight and value that others don’t…

It’s not a me too suv. The interior is up there with RR in quality and comfort…

Looks are unique, love it or hate it nothing else looks like it.

Just highlighting some obvious factors aside from the fact that it’s above the price range most can buy in at… let the debate continue 🤣

Lol. The x6 is still horrendous, time did not change that.

Bimmerfun82 · 03-18-2023, 04:46 PM

The people buying these, are they new to the brand or opting for this instead of another bmw option? Looking forward to the reporting of sales volumes - Q2 launch for the m2 and this… we’ll see in a few months how this is going
