I like the idea, just not the execution.

Really surprised to learn that it has no air suspension for a vehicle this expensive (and heavy). The ride quality has been slammed in quite a few reviews.

I tried to see if there’s something I could like but can’t. But as you know some just buy certain things/cars because of its tag.

could it be due to shortage? At some point they reserved this for 45e only.

This thing is a pure embarrassment to have M badge and be called a standalone M car - what a joke. It’s basically X7 with different styling.

It will be a huge failure as it’s overpriced, overweight (6,000 + lbs) and has zero utility as a large SUV.

Here is the one i saw yesterday.
The Gold trim and overall proportions are horrendous.

The one I saw at the dealer was hideous. I get it though, people in LA and such will eat these up. What’s most interesting to me that even outside of the styling, many of the reviews I’ve read have been very mixed in their appraisal of the car. Much more negative than what is usual for first drives.
