The XM design reminds of the SQ8. When the Q8 debuted it made me think of a Pug. The XM isn't too different in terms of the design in the nose/face/mask.

I think my favorite had to be the M2C with a good amount of tasteful mods on it - BBS FI, BMW Performance seats, etc. That was quite a nice looking machine. Definitely some other great ones as well (as shown in the pics in the OP).

If this one, it was mine 🙏🏻

There was an amazing amount of BMWs on display. My friend brought his 1-1 2002 Grand Touring. Awesoe weekend!

Yup - that's the one! I took a nice video of it which I posted to IG. I was going to chat with you about the car, but you were always mobbed by people while I was there. LOL Anyways - great car!

Pandemic styling lol.
So true.

Looks like Jaws from Bond.
Just not my cup of 🍵

Whoever designed this… my god.

Glad I got my '23, it will be replaced by the cayenne turbo gt refresh, no more X5M's for me.

It'll be exciting if they can get a quad motor iX5M though, I'd be in for one of those if it doesn't look like this new nonsense.

I believe the face lift Cayenne is going to get the same black mask treatment and look similar to the Macan and the current Cayenne GT.
Below is what is already on the road, I can't imagine them not going full send on it on the next one:

Nicest thing about the LCI is having a full brown interior without black accents.

iconoclast · 04-25-2023, 07:24 AM

Some dealers already have them on the lot but they appear to be sparse in terms of options. This one has nothing except Silverstone interior.

BMW needs to integrate the dash on the XM , etc like Porsche has. Horizontal tablet look could be improved with a bit of structure and leather.

iconoclast · 04-25-2023, 10:43 AM

The supporting arm seen from the passenger side is kind of low rent but not as bad as on the 3series/M3 but I guess this is to be expected when it isn't a new design but simply an update.

onfireX5 · 04-25-2023, 12:01 PM

I’m not a Cayenne fan, did drive a new one last week as a loaner. But they did integrate their dash very professionally instead of a double stick tape look on the $165k XM and $185k XM Blue.

iconoclast · 04-25-2023, 01:12 PM

Agreed; however Audi, Porsche & Bentley always designed their interiors well with conservative integration of Tech. Even MB who was probably the first with the big screen did it pretty well despite it being something like six or so years ago.

This thread turned into examples of a freak show?
