The logo is there to remind people how impressive that you are paying top dollars for the brand name products instead of cheap knock off from ebay or Amazon :

Wing is stupid, the rest is nice. This generation of x4 is better looking to me vs previous gen, but still it's uglier than competition in most cases. So the black color and proposed accent parts make it look mean. I like it.

Not at their prices though, I might add!
I think we can all agree the rear wing is horrific beyond words. Wheels look like you could buy them at Discount Tire. Splitters? Meh.

How does one make the X4 look worse than it already is?

ACS bits

Simply hideous.

I know, for some reason, some don't like the X4 but IMO, in the first 5 pics, it looks great!

I don't like the rear wing, it's too chavvy and should only be on the back of a racing car.

I quite like the ACS 5 series, not sure about the £18k though!

I guess they are developing more parts for the X3 what currently is available is a little pants, wouldn't take much to increase the front side splitter design to have a full front splitter.

This is how a "wing" should look on a X4....

Maybe, based on what's posted on 1st age looked disproportionate to the rest of the car. Maybe it will look ok, let's see on real life. When I see this segment on the road, including the new x4, macan looks the best to me even though it's been around for a few years now.

It's painted (hopefully with 24 carat gold primer) and fitted too

Agree, the Porsche is just so damn sexy. Most likely the only thing I will switch to. Just something about a Porsche.

The Macan GTS or Turbo was in the running before I got my AMG(which is what the spoiler is actually on in the picture I posted) but I just can't get over the fact that it looks like a Q3 and has much less interior space than other SUVs in that segment.

I agree with you. AMG is on top for most who need utility in their sporty SUV.
