It doesn't look all that bad. The 'heritage' two logos on the back look goofy though.

Everything is wrong in this thing ... Exterior & Interior!

As BMW fan I really feel sorry for them.

The iX is no longer BMW's ugliest SUV

That said, this is going to be big with oligarchs, style-deprived kids of oil barrons, and buyers of the Tesla Ute.

Imagine someone sitting in the BMW XM design team office and yelled like: I JUST DESIGNED SOMETHING THATS TRULY REMARKABLE!!! Where he then copies the exaust , turn them 180 degrees, and paste them above each other!!

That's what I called design my friends.

I would usually reserve judgement until seeing any car in person.

But for this monstrosity I have to think Dukec is on drugs and is in need of some sort of therapy! Can't comprehend how a design like this could ever get past board approval.

So I had a chat with my friends at BMW, with one of the replying to my comments regarding XM ("it is an abomination", I said) that "he was expecting when I share my reaction and he was 100% sure it will be exactly like this". So at least BMW knows customer likes and expectations, that is good. Wonder when the design team will catch up.

On the bright side, I was told that black production car will be sick and the overall impression is expected to be like with M4: at the begining, everyone was trashing it, but after seeing in person in the proper color combination, it is expected that customer will fall in love with it. We'll see how it goes.

The other news is that there is a lot of shared elements with the new 7 series, i.e. the front (don't worry, 7 series grill will be larger). The good news here is that the 7 series looks way better. But still holds a lot of this new, futuristic design language.

I thought this was a joke at first


Not a single exterior or interior photo looks good.
Really makes you forget about M3 grill, maybe that was their plan.

I think BMW have done an amazing job with the design (exterior and interior) of this XM. They have put a lot of thought into every design element to achieve a goal that a customer that interacts with the vehicle will appreciate.

I think it is hard to see how things fit, work and appear when you see pictures and videos - seeing this structure in real life will be quite an experience.

Also, this is all before we see the drive technology - I am sure they've hit that out of the park: V8 + plug-in hybrid!

If you need to argue car needs to be black to look good youre basically admitting the design is a failure. I mean sure, RL can repaint the Type57 from blue to black and get away with it, but most of the time color change to black doesnt work to cars advantage.

But as you see in this thread, a certain type of customer love it because car looks like it wants to destory everyone, it is so aggressive and some people like this aggressive design for whatever reason. I bet same poeople think Cybertruck is cool etc.

Only the straight on rear view has potential for me… Apart from the badge placement - I think the production car has lights up there???

Really don't like the side: the proportions are all wrong. The grille is way bigger than the windows…
