I spotted one on my way across Kansas. Here's a few terrible photos but better than nothing.

These grilles will just blend in with the rest of the design when they reveal the car. For now they appear massive because well they are pretty big but also it's the only part of the fascia that is clearly distinguishable, and they're the only shiny bit so they stand out.
But when we'll see the whole thing with the long headlights and we'll get a proper look at how muscular the car is thanks to a normal paint job that won't hide the lines, then the big kidney grilles will make sense. |

Just now noticed that line on the sides that looks to lift up over the rear wheels. Looks terrible. Hopefully it just looks bad due to the camo.

As far as X5s go, the E70 is definitely more well regarded within the BMW community than the F15. I've driven both and see why. My folks won't dump their E70 carbon black X5 M sport since the new model is numb and not much different inside and out. |

True, but the N63 is terrible from maintenance standpoint. That's part of the reason why I'm in an F80 now.

Proportions a matter of taste?
This was a breakthrough line for BMW with the original model’s launch. Since then the design was refined then evolved to bland. In this one I see troubling proportions in the glass house to body ratio and the grill.
Again, is it a matter of taste or am I correct to see the design imbalance? |

is it just me or Bangle's era design (Exx, esp E70) still looks much more appealing..?
I need to upgrade my aging E70 soon but I just can't find a better SUV design.. |

The E90 was better looking than the F30. Heck, the Bangle 7er LCI is one of the most handsome luxury sedans ever. The two 7ers since have been very bland inside and out and their piss poor sales reflect that. |
