Why do manufacturers feel the need to devle into areas that their consumers don't care about? Sounds to me like the "amazon.com effect" where they want to be everything to everyone. Just ends up raising the costs of their other vehicles.
Wagner, I agree w/you. While the photo "looks" intriquing, how many units of a $50K++ van-like crossover vehicle are they really gonna sell? Realizing there have some "gotta have" BMW types all across NorthAm, but Chrysler or Honda will sell more vans in a month than BWM will sell in a year,imo. All the car mfg'ers are guilty of chasing the grocery store approach whereby they have to have Every model/size to prevent "losing" a few units to the pablum producers.

Interesting looking, but Bring Money With you and glitch laden the first MY or two.
Off my soapbox. BR,md

PS: the more I look at pic, the more I think it's the best looking BMW front end I've seen in a long time.
