^^X2^^^. These are SUV’s first and everything else second. By nature a SUV is a compromise to do everything well and can’t be treated as extreme as a sports car.
I am sure Lockheed Martin can make a toaster fly but what’s the point if it doesn’t make decent toast? BMW is missing the mark by not fully optioning up the entire X5/X6 M line as in the end it’s a Luxury SUV that goes fast.
Losing the ambient lighting on the back of the driver/passenger seats, Travel comfort modular system, and USBc charging ports are a major fail on the M seats. I can’t believe BMW settles on a black plastic shell instead of engineering these premium items in as the rest of the rear design is done very well.
