Ugly compared ot the last one, and the run flat tires will be noisy and hard.

[Qube]

Rear, ok. Front, chunky as heck!

[SharkmanBMW]

The engine compartment is SWEET.

[GoldenOne]

I'm a BIG fan of the back of it. Most of the front end looks seriously ridiculous though. They've had a seriously hard time perfecting the look of headlights lately.

Love it !

Can't wait ! :)

It didn't strike me as hideous, like the first time I laid eyes on an e60- I like it.

[DABLACK]

subtle changes..but always nice

It looks like they took a 3 series sedan and stretched it vertically in photoshop. Those rims look like they came off a neon SRT-4.

I like it! The rear looks like they took it off the facelifted 7, but I love the front and SHarkmans right, that engine compartment looks awesome!

bmw should keep producing cars, not innercity-offroaders

[Kobe Diesel]

Not crazy about this new style either.

Never liked the X5 or X3, but I walked past a '04 X5 4.8 iS, red with tan interior, all the works, and I just adored it.

Hmmm....

Its not that ugly. For my .02c worth, it needed to be less droopy at the front, ie squarer in the nose like the previous model, but, thats just me.
