I'm liking the fob! I just hope it's not constructed with cheap plastics and whatever.. I like my luxury car's keys to feel like a luxury car's keys

What you are seeing now , which actually began with the BMW X4 Concept is the separation of the BMW X Line in terms of sporting individuality.

The X5 is more luxurious and more flexible than before in order to position the X6 as the sportiest model of the Medium class X line.
The same goes for the X3 and X4 and will also feature for the X1 and X2.

Although they are effectively twins underneath , The X2 , X4 and X6 will be radically different in style and behaviour in order to carve out the sporting niche for the BMW X line.

If you combine the two to provide practicality with a more sporting outline , especially in a rising glasshouse and dynamically sloping roofline you can see why BMW are evaluating a new niche to expand the BMW X-Line , known internally as Xsport.

Of course the market has changed and the luxury SUV is changing the landscape of the luxury market. Which is why BMW are moving ahead with a larger X7 model , which is being prepared as a concept for 2014. The interior incorporates ideas from the 7er and 5er GT including sliding rear individual seats to access the six and seventh seat which will be beneficial thanks to the 7er's wheelbase.
Heavily based on the next 7er , the X7 will effectively be the 7er of BMW SAVs including a range topping V12 and even an M Variant is not off the table.

The X7 points to a broader luxury car portfolio for BMW providing sustainability along with a potential 8er in Coupe , Cabrio and Gran Coupe.
BMW turns its focus to the luxury market as models like the upcoming MINIs , BMW UKL cars and BMWi aswell as many other BMW models keep BMWs C0 2 and CAFE levels respectable.

Given the reaction of the Tesla Model S we will also see a luxury mid-sized BMWi Sedan as a concept first ,showing the next phase of the BMWi family , after the Leipzig unveiling of the BMWi3 later this summer.

The BMW X4 Concept Car is currently on show at the BMW Welt.
Meanwhile, we still have no small rwd roadster.

Can you buy this fob for the f30 and have it reprogrammed?

looks an awful lot like a GX470 from the rear. Interior, A+. Exterior, not feeling it. C-.

Our 2012 X5 looks so TOUGH compared to this. It's mean, its beefy, its oh-so-sporty! But this, meh. Looks like a Lexus. BORING.

if you look closely at the picture of the X4, it looks like nobody cares about it

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

Perhaps one of the few that actually really likes this new design. Especially in M Sport. The new wheels of the M50d are great!

Exterior styling looks to be current with the times where everything is usually over stylized.
Headlight shape looks like the Dodge Durango. Rear looks like something Hyundai would do.
Interior is great though. About time BMW moved lock/unlock buttons to the door.
Someone should do a M render.
