A waste of resources to aesthetically improve a FWD MINI masquerading as a BMW SAV. Completely failed.

And that driver side shot is it's best angle by far.
I don't disagree with the look of AC Schnitzer add-ons, but your remark about the Mini is such a tired argument. Platform sharing doesn't mean a Porsche Cayanne is a Volkswagen Tuareg or a Lamborghini Huracan is an Audi R8 any more than it means a BMW X1/X2 is a Mini. Platform sharing is the new normal. Get over it, FFS.
here is nothing to get over. It's not tired, it's an ugly truth. It's a MINI plain and simple underneath all of the ridiculous badges. FFS get over it.
the x2 is based off the 2 series chassis, not the mini coopers. x1 was based off 1 series, x3 based off 3 series, ect.

The BMW X1 and X2 are built on the UKL2 platform, which is shared by other vehicles, including a couple of models of Mini. This doesn't make a BMW a Mini, any more than it makes a Mini a BMW. They share the same platform.

UKL2 platform
Mini Clubman (F54) (2016-present)
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (F45) (2014-present)
BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer (F46) (2015-present)
BMW X1 (F48) (2015-present)
BMW X2 (F39) (2017-present)
Zinoro 60H (F48) (2017-present) - China
Mini Countryman (F60) (2017-present)
BMW 1 Series Sedan (F52) (2017-present) - China

Platform sharing is used throughout the auto industry. Were it not for platform sharing, there would not be nearly as much choice on the market.

That is incorrect in so many levels. You didn't get 1 right...

But that ship has long sailed, the X7 is here to prove BMW is not a sports coupe company. It's a car company, and the portfolio is much more varied today
Once the X1 and X2 are available in full electric the front biases concern will no longer be an issue.

The X1 & X2 w/available xDrive are primarily driven by the front wheel, that's what I'm referring to.

No, the 2 Series (F22/F23) is not an UKL platform, is a RWD platform.

X2 is based on a UKL (FWD) platform which is totally different.

You mean AC Schnitzer? Because people love decorating their cars with glitz in a way that makes it look like they ram-raided an auto shop. That powers about half this forum, don't knock it

What is a "troo" xDrive? xDrive isn't a mechanical solution, it's a marketing name for "four-wheel drive".
