These posts seem to turn into... OK first couple posts... wait... let's see... ok didnt like it, check, PILE ON EVERYBODY!!
If you dont like it, move on. My only comment is it's not a xDrive40i with the badging in the picture... If someone modded the car like that, you guys would be all over it, but since it came from BMW, nothing but hate... hypocrites. |

Can someone please go to Munich and tell BMW designers to stop designing this shit? After 8 series "thunder edition" I thought they could not come up with something worse and here we are with this piece of crap. Who signs off on this, do they have blind board of directors or they just want the publicity of ppl trashing those designs as ugly as f?
Don't know, don't care. |

Thank you I have owned 4x e34 and 3x e32 and they were absolutely brilliant cars. I still regret selling them.

Besides the red slats in the grill, it looks to be a very stealth looking X5. From the photos I don't see that its equipped with air suspension.

Changing a grille is the easiest modification that you can make. Doesn't even require tools and takes a few minutes. Other than that, there is nothing controversial here.
I guess some people just needed something to get their panties in a bunch about. |

My take on these stupid "editions" is that they aren't catering to real enthusiasts. Its for those that have no freaking idea what they are buying and all they are paying for are some extra badges/colors so they can go and brag about it to other non car guys that they have a limited edition BMW.
Its pretty embarrassing for BMW honestly because the rest of the automotive world knows not to take these editions seriously. Alan

Other than the red grille slats I really like these. Love the interior.

This edition should have the V8 50i engine and the B&W stereo.
As this edition is the 40i, is the HK radio style not available? I would consider this as is, including the red grills, if offered for the F95. Tough crowd in here to embrace design change.

These special editions are limited one offs, and also can test the market if colored grills will work in the future that customers will pay the inflated mark up of these "special editions". If the Bimmer fans don't like the recent design/grill/color accents or what every you want to call it changes, then just walk with your wallet. Just like the G8x M3/M4 grill debate, but if the G81 touring was available in the US, then the grill bashers would look the other way. Some people just like to complain, as I feel bad for their significant other.

The more interesting question is why BMW X5/X6 Black Vermilion Edition vehicles are being offered for sale.
Among many categories of car buyers, there is a special category of buyers that are the first to buy ... - Anything new; temporary exclusivity - Are the first to buy anything defined as special or limited edition; longer term exclusivity BMW - just like any car manufacturer - can generated 2 profit uplifts: selling vehicles at MSRP or the dealer selling vehicles above MSRP. There must be a market for these vehicles. If BMW can profit from selling these vehicles, I applaud them. |
