What kind of design is that? A flat front bumper with an odd shaped cut-out and fog light? No thanks

There’s no reason to the awkward placement of the hood line on the X2. That and the upside down kidneys ruin what could have been a great car. |

- Kidney grills are horrible. That is one element that is sensiteive to sahpe and dimensions. Too much strech so is getting terrible? Check
- horrible hood line? Check - front bumber edge with a triangle cut, wow! Can it get worse that that? Check - Big cheap plastic lip on the front bumper to look like a pig? Check - akward fog lamps thrown as an aftertought? Check - glued ipad on the center console? - Check - phalic shifter? Check - poor center console design ? yes, Check - FWD? Yap. Check - No true xDrive? Yap, check! - small narrow and tall unconfortable seats? Check - cheaper materials and lack of cushion between rear seats and C pillar? Check - four badges on the vehicle? Check. (“Boss, what about another one on the front fenders?”) FAIL |

Sport seats are standard. Xdrive send plenty of power to the rear

The FWD platforms as the new X1 and X2 do not have xDrive. It is a haldex inspired. XDrive is RWD biased that sends power to the front when needed. So on dry pavement xDrive is actualy a sports car. Total different animal. Last edited by Teutonic; 01-26-2018 at 04:58 PM.. |

LCI to LCI and Pre-LCI to Pre LCI. And the difference in actual handling is negligible. Feel and initial turn in are certainly improved though, but mechanical limits barely changed. Point being, the X2 is an X1 with a different shell, it's going to handle exactly the same. |

As a 4gc owner I can confirm the 3 and 4 handle fairly differently. 4 feels a lot more planted and and also has a wider track. Also the suspension feels different. Not sure in the specifics on whether the. Geometries are different or not but they feel different.

And people thought the Bangle era was bad. These new BMW's are downright ugly.

Wow that is a real pig nose. BMW is losing their touch. Just plain bad design. How does anyone like this I have no idea. Just buy a Hyundai.
