 | I just can't see how this is a bad looking car? Just because it isn't as blingy and showy as the ML 63 AMG makes it a bad looking car? I for one detest the look of the Mercedes with its abundance of chrome and overll odd proportions. Doesn't mean it's a bad looking but also don't think adding massive rims and chrome makes a good ooking car. THe X5-M looks sporty and elegant, the perfect combination for my likings... |

 | ^^^ Yeah, and that is all pretty damn logical if you realise this new M car is a SUV  The next M5 probably won't have an auto tranny. It won't be as heavy. It won't have AWD...it will only have the same turbo V8, and that's fine with me

| The X5 looks really good, I think it has to do with the return of the magnificent Estoril Blue. Would like to see that colour on an X6.

| The red X6 and the blue X5 really compliment each other well. Those are the BMW M colors!

| Can't we just evaluate the vehicle as hardcore SUV and forget all that M BS ? when I am buying this I won't buy it just because of the M heritage, ok that might give me expectations but the true factor is the driving experience and nothing else ! |
