Definitely a Bold move to bring 6 Cylinder engine I am more than sure some Bavarian guys are now managing things at BMW India

My only wish is that they should reduce the List price and try to keep prices firm instead of passing high rebates at later date. Think about the guys who bought X5 (self included) or the 5 series at Zero Discounts at the time of launch.

Even in this case, they might have problems in getting customers for 30-D given the fact that outgoing X5 costs less then 60 Lac ex-showroom

BMW has priced this one quite well though I wonder if this segment even exists at all. I still haven't seen any GLC Coupe till date and even the GLE Coupe is pretty rare. It is still an interesting alternative to the usual boring Evoques and Q5s of this world.

Cheers!

Got a chance to drive X4 yesterday, contrary to my previous experience with the 4 Cylinder Petrol, I found it very peppy, no wonder why many people find hard to justify going for Diesel 6. Don't know the reasons why I didn't felt the same way when I drove the 530i last year. Majority of the owners won't even be able to extract 50 % of the juice from this smaller engine, the guy who came to my place for showing was a new chap and at the end of the drive, he was like (can't mention), would have definitely thrown up if we continued little longer and his expressions

Coming to the car, I think interiors are already feeling dated especially when comparing with what should be here in next 3-6 months. But overall, nice small car which does appear different (in a good way like X6) for a young couple

Petrol should be the one to go for and can be the largest selling variant in my opinion. I could have recommended this to anyone but for BMW discounts that come at 6-9 months after launch so if someone is considering to buy, best will be to hold till festival time or if in hurry, negotiate prices on some of the leftover X5 from 2018 which can still be bought at less costs then this smaller one.

Saw one on a Test drive on my way to work here in Delhi yesterday, definitely has the style quotient going for it, the AMG Coupes have made the coupe SUV shape much more common to the masses, sad that the X6 after starting this segment has been feeling super outdated since quite some years now, and the numbers show.

Finally, good to hear you enjoyed the 30i engine, I exchanged my F10 530d for the G30 530i and can vouch for the performance of this rocket, and to the layman its still a 30 badge at the back .

Is the stepney/space-saver so thin in size or has the person put some random tyre he found?!

Could be possible that it an emergency space saver wheel. My Golf Mk7 came with 205mm tyres from factory and the emergency space saver wheel is 125mm.

Whoa! My activa tyre is wider than that! Companies are indulging in ridiculous levels of cost optimization with these space saver tyres.

Yes, the space saver really is this thin. It comes with a caveat to not drive it about 80 KMPH if I remember right. It does look positively anorexic compared to the usual, meatier tyres. But it gets the job done!

Its a space saver tyre supplied by BMW to be used in case of emergency.

Space Saver is BMW term for spare wheel.
