Looks fantastic imo. That is the top spec M40i.
Really like the new front light treatment with the integration of the separate drl's (or are they the turn indicators)
That is a handsome, masculine, well proportioned SUV, only criticism would be the over sized rear lights

I'm quite happy doing this if you'd like to sod off

I do wish BMW would calm down a little over the kidney grills, they are getting slightly out of control.
	Porsche, there is no substitute

The grilles are now a farce and a total design horror. Mine looked a million times nicer just for being smaller when I cleaned the Gorilla yesterday.

Same here - just looks like every previous X3 to me - I'd have to google an image of the existing one to see the differences.

I hope they don't debadge too many, I won't know if its the 3 or 5.... EDIT I won't know or care.

BMW are losing / lost some time ago their design purity.
