This is exactly what BMW needs, another SUV, crossover, GT, etc.
![]() Is it not scary to anyone else that BMW will soon make more trucks than cars? I like our X5, but one or two options for SUV's is all a company like BMW should focus on, imo. Leave the babycarriers to MB, Audi, Chevy, etc. BMW should not cater to every single market out there.

^ they're changing with the times... they are putting 4cyl turbos in their cars, they are going FWD, they put an M on a fat pig. It's all going to happen. There already has been much head-shaking. But there is still going to be money made (yes, I know). Not sure why they would stop here unless 1) there's really not a market for it or 2) it will drive like s#!t.

Can you imagine? You'll be able to go on safaris with the X5 convertible, in luxury!

Not so much the Bronco (I would LOVE an original bronco in good condition) But more of competition for Range Rovers, who have always bested BMW in the off-road segment, even when BMW owned them.

I would love to see BMW's take an the people mover / minivan. Closer to an RL than a GL.
The basic design of the minivan is extremely practical for families and groups. Give it the BMW touch in the chassis, design, luxury and technology departments and you would have a very respectable vehicle.

I can see why the SUV is sacrilegious to a car company but I own a 2011 X5 50 and a 2004 545. Yes we are talking 6 years difference but I can hustle that x5 with just as much confidence and response as my 545. I said this many years ago that my 545 is like a 740. In about 10 years we will have a 0 series to replace the 1 series which will replace the 3 series which will replace the 5 series which will replace the 7 series which will replace the 9 series ect.... I am pretty sure my grandkids will be driving in my funeral precession in a 11 series. hahaha

I have the third row and when the childern get to about 4 years old you can have them sit in the third row with no issues. My son loves when he can sit in the third row.
