The X7 needs M sport - enough said there.


Yep..not really sure why bmw incorporated that black part on the LCI but I think you’re right that it’s made worse with the color and chrome grille

I shared the previously posted photo with a friend that is a Porsche tech whom is a former BMW Master tech. He stated, “why the hell did they do that?” “It looks like it has had its teeth knocked out!” He is correct, it does and now I cannot unsee it.

He’s right! I can’t unsee it now either. Sadly, gratuitous uglification for the sake of standing out seems to be BMWs current design theme

Agreed!

If I had FU money I would totally abandon BMW and fully jump on board at Porsche.

Edit: For multiple reasons, exterior/interior design included.
