Liking this on MG with those back lights. As Mercedes copied the X6 with the GLE it's only fair BMW get to copy some elements back!

This is literally all I can think of when I see the new X3/4 front end.

Agreed - the wheels look to be too small as well. Might as well reduce that wheel well gap - it's not like anyone is actually taking these sorts of vehicles off road...

I also HATE the square tailpipes....

I don't care how ugly it is... The idea of a diesel M crossover is dope. Murder it out, change the grills and see what you have...

X3 should also get that version, though if it happens, it won't be until much later in 2018.

Just horrible. BMW needs to copy the interior of the Mercedes not the exterior...

I would have liked more aggressive head lights to match the awesome (IMO) tail lights 😐

How come BMW Manufacturing didn't have these vehicles covered in the white protective covering leaving the plant? Probably the last time this happens. Probably being shipped out for a marketing photography scene. Thanks PalBoy!

I agree with others about the design inconsistency between front and rear. However, unlike G01 X3, sides are okay for me.

Don't put Calvin's front design in any BMW bigger than 2 series. It just makes the car looks funny.

It's good to have the roof line after B-pillar doesn't drop that much.

For me, the rear tail lights are more like old Alfa Romeo's than GLC coupe.

It looks lower and longer and makes the 3GT redundant.

Really like it and I've never liked any of the x3/4's before it. The back is my favorite part.

Thanks Much. Yep...I was stunned when I saw this car hauler coming down the road. Thought it was a load of X6's. I'm probably the First and Last...... :-)

I agree with the whole Benz thing. However, I think it looks quite nice.
