However on some pictures, as well as on those early uncovered spyshots, you'll notice the badges are placed correctly, within the concave zone, at the top corners of the trunk as has always been the case on BMW X vehicles (until the X2), so maybe the buyer will be able to choose their location?

I like them up top better too. Also, interesting but I think red might be one of the worst colors for this car. The white and silver ones in those spy photos looked less bloated than this red one does. Not sure if the shape has changed since those spy photos too but I doubt it. The lighter colors look sleeker to me though
Agree with all of you, and thanks for the reference to the change in development - I didn't realize that this was something that started off in a more "normal" placement.

Something like this feels like a "change for the sake of change" and not because there's a purpose around it. The picture of the Merc above makes it seem like a copycat move,
