BMW X2

Rbrown · 10-23-2017, 01:41 PM

Just got a marketing email from BMW telling me about the launch of the new X2.

Must have totally missed any talk about it!

With X1, X3, X4, X5 and X6 - BMW are saturaing the market with their X cars. Will be intresting to see if it offers anything different than current X models.

Wow that looks good!
Oh Christ I'm losing man I swear! Enjoying driving a X3 and now this.
Same colour and looks as the wife's CX3 but about 15k more, she however was unimpressed

Not feeling it, looks like a squashed 2 series tourer and that’s an ugly car.

I'm afraid the reality is very different. Let me grab a pic...

Looks very X1-like..................

Looks like a Vauxhall.

philiper1 · 10-24-2017, 04:29 AM

I think there is a link on facebook stating it will be unveiled tomorrow, Wednesday! not sure why do we need so many different variations of SUV's?!?!

I remember when all this was fields. And a BMW was a BMW.

Don't get it. Surely if you take a small SUV and then squash it down you just end up with... a hatchback?

It is not just BMW. Every other car manufacturer is doing the same, eg honda dropped saloons and estates for SUV's and Seat/Skoda planning to introduce SUVs of every size. The choice is reducing for those who do not want a SUV/Crossover,

What was launch date mentioned?

KCH1984 · 10-24-2017, 07:16 AM

Is the X2 to the X1 not what the X4 is to the X3?

In any case, assume 1 series, X1, Mini etc. all going to be on the same underpinnings going forward.

Still, I quite like it if I was in the market for a family-orientated Qashqai like car.

I'll be right back - just off to recycle a Skoda Fabia as a 'Yeti Coupe' on eBay. I fancy my chances.

Even the Evoque is little more than a jacked up large hatchback.

But the market dynamics are undoubtedly moving that way, so any company not following the money is daft quite frankly, at either end of the market.

True. But not first a hatchback, then an SUV, and then, arguably, back into a hatchback!

1 series -> X1 -> X2

My best mate has one. They do absolutely nothing for me. Dog slow 4 pot diesels are not my thing.

I like it as well. I can see us having one of these as a second car when my gran coupe goes back in a couple of years.
