I haven't seen the RR Sport in the metal, and it's interesting to hear that it's disappointing because the photos do make it look nice. In the same vein, I haven't seen the F15 in the metal, but in general I find that BMWs look better than in the photos.

I owned a 2001 E53 3.0i, which at the time I thought was one of the best looking SUVs on the market. I didn't keep the E53 long as I needed a better tow vehicle, but I always liked the design. When spyshots and then photos of the E70 came out my first thoughts were that it looked bloated, minivan-eqsue, and that BMW had really messed up, another Bangle/Hooydonk disaster. When I saw it in the metal I fell in love with it, and knew that when I eventually needed an SUV, the E70 would be the one for me. I still like the E53, but it really looks like an old design now.

I believe that the F15 is going to look great in the metal, and the E70 is going to looked dated and a bit frumpy by comparison.

Doesn't even say x5 on the back, and if im not mistaken this was the first x5 built. If you google it they show that car with same color and same town that was going to be shipped to
