I remember when I first saw the e92 3-series coupe. I literally spent a day looking at the pictures, and it was beautiful from the first second and it still is.

Same with the current X5. It looked flawless from the beginning, no need to grow on me.

And now why should I expect the new X5 to "grow on me" ?

No, it's just plain ugly. Same as the current 1-series hatchback - hideous. And to an extent, same with the new F30 3-series sedan. Bland and boring.

On the other hand, the new 4-series and the new 2-series look beautiful from the first moment you look at them. No need to "grow on you".

Totally agree on every point re x1, x5 and x4. E70 did look a bit dated in the standard comparison but the white m sport comparison confirms to me that it kicks all over the new one (in looks not tech and performance etc.). If someone hadn't seen either of them they might think the E70 was the update.
