BMW's continuing to do downhill. This is better than the X6 but what's its purpose? Buy the 5 series estate, or get the X6 if you so desire so own one.

I'm usually the one to defend BMW designs. But this, well... this just isn't right. I got nothing.

I'd be laughing if it wasn't so sad.

This - this thing - is meant to be a "grand tourer"?
Do the people now working at BMW (or perhaps the people in the marketing department) know what a grand tourer is supposed to be?

This is nothing like a grand tourer. This is like a cross between the misbegotten BMW X6 (the European version of the Pontiac Aztec) and a Volvo AWD wagon. It seems to be like the answer to a question that nobody asked.

I love it like I love the architecture along Cherry Hill Lane in Noblesville, Indiana.

So this is the future of the auto industry? When the so called cutting edge designers are copying honda and toyota it's time we all start driving classic cars.

This is just unacceptable.

BMW needs to get back to making cool cars. WTF are they thinking?!?!?!

Honestly, I'm not a fan of Jaguar's newest models (XF excluded) nor do I much like the touch screens

I have a 01 540 that will be replaced in the next year and I despise the styling of the current line up of BMWs so much that they're not even under consideration. I don't know what has happened to this company but they seem to be introducing model after model that, rather than inspiring, inspires a "WTF" reaction.
