So every time BMW tries to make something different, sleeker, pushing the envelope, everyone cries because it looks like a Korean car? I seriously can't see that. Kudos to Korean automakers for trying something different, thing that automakers like Audi certainly never heard about it.
And don't worry guys, the G30 reveal its getting close. Those who like boring and bland designs, glorified 3er interior, will be very pleased with the g30. Just like the 7er..a "success"..in being boring as fck. |

I'm sure the design won't be so extreme and will be toned down to make it more "BMW-like". The kidney grilles will likely revert back to a more typical shape and the headlights won't be so anglular. Overall, the concept and the idea of where the X2 is heading looks a lot better than its competition IMO.

I've seen this "car", and it is very small. People need to put this into perspective, it's the size of a mini clubman. This design works because of the size and many features would not translate to a larger platform, like the "5er".

Indeed I did. I've had the CLA45 on the brain all day in anticipation of its new competition, the RS3 sedan, which just broke cover (thread in M3/M4 vs. forum).
Anyway thanks for the correction. I've fixed my post. Quote:

This is a great design. BMW produces great concept designs. Unfortunately the BMW production car is always watered down, conservative and bland. Plus each production vehicle is so watered down and so increasingly conservative that they look like numerous other BMW models and Japanese knockoffs of tired conservative BMW designs. BMW has beautiful deign ideas that unfortunately go through a design committee aproval process that yields bland production car design.

The current (non M-sport) X3 has the same black trim around the wheel arches and the rocker panels. It's very common on SUVs / CUVs. For example, the GLA has it as well. It appears on the Audi Q3 as well, depending upon how you option it.

'Shocking' designs for public consumption don't sell in high numbers based on BMW's take rate formulas.
Nice X2 concept IMHO. -Enjoy the drive

No. NO. Enough of this. STOP MAKING X VEHICLES. There are already too many.

I'm sure it's going to look 90% like the concept but those headlights are not going to be on the final design. If it is, I will be absolutely shocked. The overall design might make it to final production, but it's the details I think will differ from the production model. But that's just me.
