 | Cheap AMG imitation all around. It looks even more like the X3 which isn't a good thing at all. The rear view looks pretty good though, but that's it. Suddenly those X6M rims look GREAT!

| tennmb I give BMW credit where it is due, but this is horrible. I love the bumper treatments on the regular X5. This looks like some bulldog with his jowls flopping in the wind. |

| I was waiting for the official pics before I opened my mouth (or typed in this case). Even looking at the better pictures I'll have to say that I'm not too fond of the front fascia. It just looks WAY too busy, and the big "Gaps" just seem odd. It looks like they took the M5 body kit and just stretched it upwards. I'm liking the performance aspects of it but the design seems busy and improportionate.

| I have mixed feelings about the X5/6M - The BMW M is drifting from it's origins - putting an M badge on a 2300kg SUV, which deems it almost impossible to have the "M spirit" - if you know what I mean.Also using a Twin turbo rather than high revving NA gem. Maybe this is the logical step at these times, and thinks more M cars will receive the same treatment (M5/6, the next M3 ??) I know this is not what we got used to from the M division, but I hope they won't disappoint, and this car will be as fun to drive as any other M. I think BMW made the X5/6M because there is a market for massively powerful SUVs - Porsche Cayenne Turbo/TS/GTS, Mercedes ML AMG... From what I saw till now, the X5/6M will be my choice. Design wise - I love how aggressive they look   |
