The first ever BMW X2, i have been pretty harsh on this model earlier, not really seeing the point with it.
But the size of this makes some sense for me now. As a former E84 owner, i really liked the low and sporty SUV hight of this model. The X2 seems to be a E84 of some sort, as it is lower and sportier than the X1. It also seem to be more marketed towards a younger audience than the X1. And finally the ugly UKL gearshifter is gone, that alone is a great piece of news, the colors is great as well. How is the price compared to the X1?

Which would be the same thing powering the 2 GC if my understanding of current rumors is correct. Is it me or with the drop in ride height vs X1 do we need this and the GC?

I was waiting on the X2 to see competition for GLA. Surprised it's this good honestly, I like the way this looks. Definitely need to see a dark color on the M Sport X though...

I think it's about time BMW retires halogen headlights. I get it, they're cheaper, but this is getting ridiculous. We're in 2017 and BMW's are rolling out of the factory with headlights from the past century.
What the hell is that "lipstick / milk-stache" that's going on the front and why does it have two extra roundels glued to the rear pillars - what even is this nonsense???? Ehh, the car is ugly, but that's subjective Last edited by Deluxx3; 10-25-2017 at 04:28 PM.. Reason: Spelling |

I'm not crazy about the new grill shape and front bumper cover but the rest of the styling actually isn't bad. I particularly like the chopped roof.
Mechanically the engine is facing the wrong direction but I understand. Nice to see an 8-speed auto instead of the 6-speed auto in the Minis. Good second car for a commuter that doesn't want a hybrid or EV.

The Cooper is the only Mini that still uses the 6s auto. The Clubman and Countryman use the 8s on all of the four cylinders, but still have the 6s on the three pot.
