Was actually just discussing this on the Bimmerfest.

F15 is "ok", just like the E70. It's not going to win any beauty contests with the RR, ML and Cayenne aesthetically more eye pleasing imo.

I'm more interested to see the new interior/engines/tech that they bring with the new iteration.

P.S. What is with the trend back to poo brown colors?

Very nice!! It looks like they took the current gen and "matured" the front end a bit. This is a very nice, evolutionary change IMO.

Lol. Just had this exact same discussion on the BMW forum as well.

I don't understand how people are saying it looks like the X3, considering the new gen X3 is essentially an exact down sized version of the X5. The X3 copied the X5 design language, not the other way around.

The way the trunk and taillights sit are more new X3 than E70 X5. The E70 is my favorite design from BMW, honestly. Looks excellent with sport package.

Nowadays, Mercedes-Benz ML for me please.

Not interested in the exterior. Same cookie cutter, one sausage different lengths, boring. The interior refinements however will be nice

the trunk lid curve and tailights are taken off the new X3 even though the X3 was based on the previous X5. that makes sense to me
