The new X5 design is just awful. I'm not sure what the designer was thinking (or not thinking I should say). The X5 looks plain weak, especially looking at the front and the sides. It has lost its original appeal. They took a good design and ruined it. I truly hope they can save the X5 when the M comes out.
I hope they don't go ahead and mess up the upcoming X6 while they are at it.
