Overall I like it.

Dashboard looks good except for the non retracting Ipad copy jutting out. I miss the most unique glove box already - in fact the new one seems like it would encroach into passenger leg room.

Rear end is very X3 like - hardly worth copying.

The front is very formal and imposing - not a bad look I suppose but this look is meant to last until 2020 (weren't we meant to be living in outer space by 2020?).

It's just not modern enough. Same goes for new 3 series, same for X3.

The only thing that sets it apart is the finishes I would have to say eg. new style woodgrain and metal finishes inside (to my eyes at least) is very modern even though they do draw on mid 20th century German Bauhaus and Danish design.

However the trapezoidal design of the E70 dashboard will forever be unique.
