Looks a bigger, and dare I say worse, 5GT.

Maybe this is actually the new 6

Too many models, sub-models, X,Y,Z,M .. etc...

Just an opinion.

The rear is inspired by the Z4 Concept design.
There is nothing related to the ugly GLC/ GLE.
Much more aggressive than its predecessor 👍

Yeah I can see the 8er and z4 concept inspiration, but this is what happens when designers go half-ass on a design element from concept to production. It's just in that weird purgatory/middle ground where you can see what they were going for, but its execution is watered down and dull.

Newer BMW models will receive thinner rear lights as demonstrated on the 8er and Z4 Concepts.

I highly doubt that, but I understand why you say that after seeing how great the X3 turned out.

Bimmerpost users: BMW designers need to change things up!

(BMW changes things)

Bimmerpost users: BMW shouldn't change things, they ruin everything!



The new X4 looks a million steps better than the outgoing X4, which was hideous. And I'm glad there's some differentiation from the X3. The GLC and GLC coupe were much better looking than the X3 and X4. Now they're not. Good job BMW.

New X3 looks great.

The new X4 not so much.
But that's a given. The X4 and X6 have always been the ugly, dumber, less practical siblings.

Nothing to see here, just another compromised sport ute for people who somehow want sporty but don't know what a car is.

Obviously.

The GLC has a panoramic roof

X.3 gets one with the X forgets the old stupid box style. Something I might expect in a coupe but not an SUV with huge roof.
