Subjectivity is subjective, I suppose.

The X5, imo, is the only BMW model that they didn't get the styling horribly wrong with any generation. The E53 was good, the E70 was good, the last two are decent looking. It somehow missed the bangling. This might be the last gen we can say that with, as the grille is already masssive and the next one will be worse with squintier lights alongside.

This is last year pre exhaust and carbon spoiler but I think it shows the bulldog proportions of the car. As I get older (50’s) it does feel smaller inside. I mean I just spent 11y with a five series. But every time I drive it and hit a corner I am reminded even though I miss the S62 sound and experience this car is way more capable. The interior is a huge downgrade and the outside is an acquired taste but no beaver grill and still able to wind it out with a manual. I don’t regret the change one bit!!
