Front = Back =

I think we can all be pretty sure the front lights will be a equal mix of e90 and e60 though.

Well said...IMO the body looks weak, but maybe this release is a "red" herring.

Not "beefy" enough......needs to look more masculine & mean looking.........I kind of like it, but I'm sure there will be changes in the final product.........
I'll have to wait for my judgement until I see one up close & personal.......

Thanks for posting the pics - as usual, nice job LeMans!!!

I will also hold off on making the final call until I see one in person, but as I have said earlier, I know what I hate, and I don't hate those pics.

I don't like how the tips in the back are pushed towards the edges of the car. I don't like it, it looks like an X3 on steroids. I like the 4.8 look and wish the new X to look meaner .. my 2 cents.

Guessed I'll be holding onto my current X for quite sometimes. The side sheetmetal look too flat...no contours to them at all, except at the wheel arches...unlike the current model that seems to curves and bulges just at all the right places! I guessed that's the wave of the future since almost all the cars nowadays are that way...very uninspiring.
