The front is just disaster for me. Following the current F series the headlights extend to the grill in a awkward way... I think the front air dam or inlet looks weird and kind of resembles the pre-LCI of the E70 which I didn't like either. The current E70 Air inlet looks much better and resembles the M Sport or ///M.
I suspect the LCI F15 will have better visual enhancements. Hopefully the front will be improved!
As I have mentioned before, the interior to me is much nicer though!
But then again I did skip the F10 ( exterior looks and steering feel ) after having 2 E60's in the past 6+ years..  |
None of the areas you pointed out look awkward at all. Its different compared to your E70 which I suspect is your main issue with the F15. We don't expect Bmw to come out with a all new model looking just like the old one right... As for the side profile looking like a minivan its not like Bmw changed the entire shape of the X5. Overall shape is still there so if you think the F15 looks like a minivan then so does the E70. Again i think most of the resentment towards the new car is due to buyers remorse from people with the 13's E70's. Nothing personal but I see this happen all the time and hell i would feel the same way myself.
