Of course you are entitled to own whatever belief system you choose, just don't be surprised if it does not pan out. For what it's worth, the E70 doesn't look as good to me as I had hoped, though I am hoping a test drive will render appearance moot.

You can take a car that came off the line an hour ago and give it a mule job by...using...tape.

X5, no...X3, no... This car looks really bad only things im really liking are the front headlights the car looks depressed like the x3 and is big like the x5, i think bmw is coming out with a new X4 it seems like to me

I still believe we are seeing two test vehicles, one a new X5 one a new X3.

These guys aint silly..I saw a muled up e90 a couple years ago, with 6 pieces of tape on it..thats all...It looked like a 98 Accord until the tape came off..They could care less about revealing size, shape..Its the LINES they're trying to hide IMO, becuase thats what seems to define its looks more than anything...
