There has definitely been some back and forth between BMW and Honda over the years.

Definitely going the opposite direction with this design. I was looking in adding a sister to my 05, but I may have to get her a cousin, X6

I've seen a few now at the dealer and LA Auto Show. To me, the F15 looks like an E70 that went through the Toyota design studio for a minute before being released.

Def looks more "pedestrian" compared to E70.

It's not that it looks like Toyota that bother me (I don't think it does). The problem is that it steers like one.

So I went in and looked at both the E70 and F15 together and I just cannot get adjusted to the horrible profile view of the F15 and I absolutely hate the look of the nav / I drive screen sticking out of the dash. It just looks cheap and BMW should have made it retractable like Audi does. While talking numbers the sales manager could only offer a few thousand off of sticker on a 14 that was priced in the high sixties. So I asked him about a leftover 2013 I noticed on the lot in Alpine white with black interior. He worked up a discount of just over 8 grand and I pulled the trigger on a new 2013. So hopefully the F15 will get some refinements over the next few years to spark my attention again. Otherwise, I will be more than content with my new E70.

I could not warm up to the new design. I too ended up buying a 2013. My warranty was up and I really gave the F15 a shot. It looks like a boring SUV.

Ohh I hate it too, it makes my e70 look so outdated, what a horrible SUV!
Whenever a guy on his pedestrian F15 MSport on 20"s pulls up next to my e70 at a stoplight, I will feel pity of him....

Sure are alot of people who don't like new design. Proof-I have had a new one on order for a month with confirmed production but no date yet, now supposed to be first week of Jan. Sure wish this design wasn't so disliked so I could get my car sooner.
