BMW is so stupid to black out their logo and not the X5 badge!! lol...and with those kidney grills, anyone can identify it's a Bimmer.
Hardly any changes in this new model except for the front and rear bumpers.

BMW is loosing it. The X3, X5 are quickly becoming really ugly

Unknownsatan · 30th January 2010, 22:46

I just hate these SUVs from BMW-X3 and even X5,it just looks too bad for me. But yeah i love X6

Something about this face-lifted that doesn't look right. And I don't know what it is! I just can't pin-point the flaw! And it's killing me!

It has lost it's macho/muscular look? Seems softer to me now.

Looks more like an MUV that hopes to give the impression of an SUV!

Where's the facelift! I can't see any changes other than those ugly bumpers. Its very much disappointing.

arjunrudra · 31st January 2010, 07:49

A facelift should have more than this, not just a slight re shape of the bumpers. The front is okay acceptable but from the rear the designers have really lost it. The old one looked better from the back.

jkdas · 31st January 2010, 08:06

The ugliest of the SUV lot ! Sad that the facelift was just minor cosmetic; expected something better.

Can someone jot down the difference?

ishotmydog · 31st January 2010, 09:46

seems like the BMW designrs did'nt bother with the front and just put bits here and there, looks ugly.

sachinj12 · 31st January 2010, 10:18

The rear looks funny. And it looks mean in no way. BMW is

suhaas307 · 31st January 2010, 11:27

I think the front wind-screen is more up-right! And the glass house seems to be a little different! These, apart from the bumpers, are the subtle changes I've been able to put a finger on!

Is it just me or does the sloping rear end make it look more like the X3?
