Otoh, my CEO's new X1 has its doors' top points extending back rakishly, even more than the X5, and one has to dodge those during the pretzel maneuver to enter or exit. Add in the 'foot kick' thing for the rear lift gate that seldom works, or that lift gate that closes like a guillotine when not expecting it, and I try to stick with my 'ol X5. Hope the OP's head heals... GL, mD

What I keep worrying about doing is having the power closing feature of the hatch do a number on my fingers one day. Looks like it would be quite painful if it happens.
Ive got real close a few times.

E70 is sapphire black vs. the imola on the e53. Hadn't thought about it but maybe that has something to do with it.

My #1 complaint with the E53, and it is painful...
I'm going to put some "danger tape" on the corners that bite. In the inside so only visible when open.
I've walked into the tailgate when it was down a few times. Better in the hip than in the head but yowch just as well

Short as I am the hatch poses no risk to me if it stays up. When it decides to close on its own in cold weather it wouldn't matter if it had neon stripes, flashing lights and sirens.
But for tall people I could see that being handy I guess.

The problem is the second case: you are used to clearing because it stays up completely so you never even look and bexIwe it's cold out it's a couple inches lower and BANG. You are probably correct on the neon sign comment so I'm thinking of adding silicone bumper
