That front end in white is atrocious. Dark colors are going to be much better in hiding the hard and awkward edges.

Edit: What I really dislike are the side vents and LED strip lights on the op fo them, its an akward shape to my eyes. The big nose could be ok, but its set between those vents, it doesn't look cohesive.

Right now, it just screams X3. Hopefully in person that's not the case.

They didn't reinvent the wheel; nice upgrades to the interior. Seems a bit more up market if you will....perhaps a little over the top with the crystal gear shifter. Good that they have the nice headliner in a non M vehicle (perhaps m-sport gets that upgrade) I agree that darker colors may enhance that front end. My 2 cents.

It's an weird issue i know but it is so annoying.

Well, this furthers my want for the last F15 X5M made. I'll be holding on to it until BMW comes out with the next X5, in hopes they hire a lead designer with sight.

Did that have the glass controls option? If so, looks like it's been bedazzled. Does it come with unicorn stickers? lol..

Looks like trying to get an iPhone 8 plus in and out of the wireless charging spot might take someone with small hands to get a phone out.

What's up with the 5 series digital display, so called attention to details.
this new design direction really suck BMs look as boring as Audi's, in my opinion the only one doing a good job is Benz

Looks way too busy in all aspects. The dashboard with a gazillion of chrome lines, the crystal gear lever, the myriad of buttons near the gear lever, the big flashy chromed grille, the big ugly taillights...yuck !
