I dont like it at the moment, but as I find with most BMW's give it a while and they grow on you

Its clever of BMW to realise that their are lots and lots of people out there who want the space and feel of a big off roader but realise they are as socially acceptable as kiddy fiddling is right now!

Fugly though

The back has hints of Citroen XM about it?

Not pleasant either way - still, it'll probably sell well for BMW

The jury's out on that one....

I must admit it took a while for the last range to grow on me, but I love them now. Especially the 6 and 7 series, they are lush.

The only good looking car I think they make right now is the M5, I'm not even a fan of the new M3.

As said above, it'll probably be a grower like their other models always seem to be!

I'd say even less so.

We find the kids are so clued up about the environment nowadays and won't come near the gas guzzlers.

Anything yellow with big flashing lights on works best. Or ice cream vans.
