Smaller X6?? Really BMW? While excited about the 4 series gran coupe, I would take a SQ5, Macan, or even a X3 M sport over this. What a ugly creation!!
Not as ugly as the X6 but still ugly nevertheless. Thank goodness BMW didn't incorporate the stupid floating screen on the dash/center console like they've started doing with the rest of their lineup.
So I can buy this fugly thing, or a 335i GT (also fugly) but I can't get a great-looking, practical, understated 335i wagon?
Admittedly, what I really want is a M550d wagon. 30+ mpg, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, and all the cargo space I would want in, once again, an understated, great-looking package. But I understand that an $80k+ diesel wagon would be a tough sell in the US.
I think BMW's goal is to confuse the consumer with so many models/options that they never leave the dealership to consider a competitor. Just as the customer's leaving "but wait, have you seen the GT model? the X crossover? The coupe? The convertible? The M?"
I happen to think this x4 looks nice. At least it looks better than the other BMWs which are all ugly. I want to like them, but can't. The regular cars look like they're frawning at u or look like a shark from an angle (an ugly nasty looking fish). I see no need for designing cars like this. The price drops very quickly on these cars. Since people think the x4 is so ugly maybe I can get one really cheap in a year or two.

Let me get this out of the way: It's UGLY.
Who would pay the extra money for this over an X3 which has better utility and probably comparable performance and driving dynamics.
