In the first page, the reaction is extremely positive. I don't expect that to stay for long when the usual suspects join the conversation. I could be wrong though

Glad you mentioned the 7-Series front end so I don't have to. Very unfortunate. BMW's stylist aren't able to deal with the front end pedestrian regulations as well as others it seems. That said I like the rest of it for the most part. The funky side creases make it look very youthful and athletic. Any interior shots?

Re: Official pics and info: X1 Concept

There was a few minutes older thread about the leak (although it had no answers at all)...

Anyway i have merged the two threads into one.

Apart from a rather short front overhang, I think the side profile looks fabulous. Finally, a small SUV BMW can be proud of.

Re: Official pics and info: X1 Concept

Not bad I think. I like most of it. The front has obvious 7er cues but they don't bother me. Lot of nice lines like klier said. Some small details that could've been better IMO but overall it's a good concept.

Punch in your face? LMAO, maybe Bangle can use that as a new slogan for BMW design. "A BMW always has to be dynamically stunning, like a hard punch in your face!".

Re: Official pics and info: X1 Concept

Hmm, a punch in your face ...ha ha. But this time I think this concept is quite subtle.

It is interesting the Merc's Fascination Concept exploits similar ideas ...but creates quite a different impression.

Re: BMW X1 Concept: Official pics and info.

Its not an ugly car but for me this car is not intresting. I rather see other models from BMW.

Re: BMW X1 Concept: Official pics and info.

I 'm neutral towards this car. It's not stunning but not a let down either.

I have no doubt that it will sell well especially if they use the 1.6 lt Turbo engine.
