Still really great deals and ride a long.

Few reviews so every little bit helps. Easy to be critical when you're not the reviewer.

Autogefühl reviews are the best. Just had a friend order a Countryman JCW to a large degree based on their review, given the scarcity of JCWs on dealer lots. Yes, they are slow paced and geeky, but they actually give you information and not marketing bs.

The designer called the fake side vents a "dacor element."

The front isn't growing on me either. What's with the screw dead center between the 2 kidney grills? Pre-production junk?

I thought the vents on the side were active as in allowing air from the wheel well to be redirected down the side of the car 🤔🤔

No wow factor to me aesthetics wise

Definitely not like the 3rd gen (F15) x5 when it first came out. That one had a lot of wow factor!

Looks nearly as large as the current X5. And that buck-toothed kidney design kills it. How is that considered an aesthetic improvement over the existing general shape? It doesn't look tuff, it looks like Tow 'Mater from Cars movie.

Not quite.

I have to admit the front end is very busy though. I wasn't impressed to learn the side vents are purely cosmetic too.
