Tragic, that grill makes it look like a giant bucktoothed beaver.

I think it looks fantastic. I already have a pretty loaded 2018 X5, but at some point I may just trade up.

BMW is determined to make their cars look like Chinese knock offs.

Here's some pictures from Auto blog:







https://www.autoblog.com/2018/10/16/2019-bmw-x7-three-row-crossover-revealed-9102wmb/?ncid=edlinkusauto00000021&yptr=yahoo

And yeah. Its ugly af. That front-end is a big no. The grille is a huge turn off. But at the same time - I think I know why they are doing it. Its because the X7 is huge and they don't want the grille to look disproportionately small. Its like what Audi is doing to their new in-coming models. The new grille on the new Audi are stretched. The Audi A4 has the modest one, the A6 is stretched, and the A7/A8 is extra stretched.

And I think the interior looks too similar to the G20 3 Series. Being that its going to be a top-end SUV, I think the interior should be more unique.
