When people says "Its growing on me" it means..... Sorry guys but its still ugly to me, it looks like the X1s tailight & the fog lights are in the wrong place. It looks like a van of some sort. I talked to Sales Mgr & Salespeople of BMW & they are skeptical too hoping it looks better at personal. E70 will be the best X5 ever, I almost pulled the trigger on it coz of fear of not ever having one. Sad, Im a big fan but.....

Give me a porsche any time over a range rover. Snob appeal with these as well but the style is why I like them. I love BMW but sadly this X5 is a disaster and the design team should be fired. All the other new bmw's are looking great but something went wrong with this one. I think a porsche might be in line next time I'm due for a change. Last edited by XZeb; 10-13-2013 at 01:37 AM.. |

I'm pretty sure BMW does not see any of that increased sticker price. Most, if not all of that markup goes to local VAT, tariffs and import taxes (ie, the local government). Congrats to the OP. |

I have seen the car (all 50i's) in different colors at the dealership last week and I can tell you it really looks amazing! I was surprised at how grand and superior to its segment this car looked. |

The new x5 looks pretty appealing to me, and how many times have we said that the old designs look better only to realize that its really actually supposed to be a new design thus the name ALL NEW X5. Remember, the E70 was an ALL NEW at one point. Nice car sir! |

it's really not nearly as different from the E70 as people want to complain it is, visually. Different nose and rear-end, but nearly identical shape and proportions otherwise. An evolution to the newer styling and as much as I still love the E70, the F15 does make it look old. Some people will just always prefer the old styling to the new, until the next generation comes out and the F15 is the "best ever"
The overreactions are both comical and annoying. It's really not night and day. Pics sometimes deceive, watch all the videos and you'll see how similar they actually are... And better still, now we can start seeing them in person. |

I think more than anything, BMW failed hard with the M Sport package this time around. The great big black slabs of plastic for the fake "intake vents" on the front bumper are the biggest detractor for me. On my '12 M Sport, they were functional intake grilles! I actually prefer the standard (non-M) front bumper on the new model. The rear end is also not so pleasing and I do not like the X1 rear lights at all.
I'd kill to have a '13 M Sport with a '14 interior and electronics. I am giving this one a pass. Maybe the LCI will correct these issues. |

I dont know if it will grow on me or not.I know that I never liked the E63/64 6 Series or the E65 7 Series. I thought they would "Grow" on me but they never did. Im starting to feel this way about the current lineup. But congratulations new owner guy. As long as you dig it, everything on here is just stupid opinions... Enjoy the ride!
