E70 is much better. It is more balanced as design and more beautiful.
Also the interior it is more refined.
BMW managed to give E70 that superb hiden glove box, integrated navi screen and no other visible stuff.
The new one has a ordinary ugly glove box, another ugly box on the left side which is very visible, and a terrible naviscreen Garmin style.
The plastic trim on the wheels well was an extension of the fender on the previous model providing a more sporty and muscular look. I wish I had that on the X1. Now they make it simple and man, what an ugly look it has. The doors have this protective lines before, now they have eliminate them, welcome to the dent world.
The stitching on the seats is bad, too much, the new patern does not show class or luxury it is just another busy pattern looking for some identity. Previous seats were simpler but more refined and beautiful.
Not to mention, the front was more agresive and had a different stance than this new one. The "nostrils" are too big.
Nice job at "blending in" with the ordinary vehicles out there...
So much about evolution...epic fail from my point of view. I will never buy it.
