  | Looks good! Might have to buy me one. I still think it's way too close to the X3, but it really looks better then I thought it would exterior and interior wise.

I hope they put that face on the next Generation X5 and I will buy it.

| This is a great looking mini-crossover. I don't quite get what it is. It looks around the same size as the current X3. Will it come to America? |

| Wow...I'd also say that it turned out better than expected. Interior is typical BMW and the exterior looks lithe and athletic. I have to say I like it face and all. It doesn't seem to have the battering ram face of the concept? M

| It think it looks fabulous. Looks fairly spacious - decent boot. I'd love one for the family as the "urban SUV". I'm interested to see how it compares size-wise next to our Forester. Ok BMW, good one. Now, really impress me and bring out an X1M with 245 kW TwinPower turbo six, xDrive and DPC rear diff. Here's my OTP.

 As for the car - barring the hideous colour - I just love this profile. Nobody does cab-backward like BMW does and on a mini-SUV it's a particularly fetching silhouette. I must say, I'd ace one of these (in this package) in that new metallic grey with saddle brown interior. Where's that crazy agriculturalist, Human?

| Overall very nice looking little SAV. My only complaint about interior is the area below screen, that ugly, cheap looking plastic...  Everything else is just fine.
