G05 X5 M Sport at the BMW Championship (Pictures)

It's huge and I like it!
Impressive rear and people in Holland will move out of the way if they see the grill in their rear mirror combined with the headlights...

Now with My x3, I also notice people are moving aside

These things have real presence in the flesh and oddly the grille doesn't look as large as in the photos. BMW nailed the proportions I think, and the interior is superb.

I don't care about the grill size. It looks correctly proportioned on g05 and better compared to the 7 and a lot better than x7 especially the shape.

I mean the Benz and Audi grills are about 3 to 4 times bigger so what...

Absolutely. Bigger is always better

So you are the guy that rides the rear bumper of other cars at 240km/h

That grill looks like a bad photoshop job.

This new badge placement really bugs me. Going to take some getting used to it.

I agree. Why did BMW decide with the X3 and X5 to move the badge to left side of the hatch? I'm pretty sure the badge has been on the right side of all their cars for as long as I can remember.

It also has always been ABOVE the taillights I believe. So seeing it on the left AND below is like...

I'm sure we will get used to it though.

Yea I know what your saying about the grills leaning forward, but Bmw's of the past had that shark nose forward lunging grille so it's got a little past DNA thrown in their, just not common to see so it throws people off as 99% of everything else does it the more traditional leaning back or standing straight up grille.

It will look good! Bullish nose fits the bold exterior of the G05.
