The UK market is obsessed with 320ds and crossovers, so it's only a matter of before BMW comes up with a 320d-ish crossover. "Eh wallah"!

SAV, crossovers, whatever you call them are driving global car sales. BMW would be suicidal not to segment the bejesus out of the market and take sales from the Q1, Q3, T-Roc, you name it. Why are people questioning this car's purpose when the deadliest competitors - including the 500L and the Macan simultaneously - are selling like gangbusters, and the X2 itself is getting great reviews? Is it just "internet fundamentalism"?
I fully understand what BMW is doing with this model. Doesn't mean I have to like it!! Having seen one in the metal in a showroom, I wouldn't buy one, period
