Only interested if they come out with 5.0d versions. The petrol variants will be stupid thirsty even if you drive like a grandma. Completely the wrong engine for an suv imho, probably why they left out the fuel consumption figures on the press information, wont sell many units if they do...

Look at the amount of GLC43s, GLC63s, GLE43s and GLE63s on the road, it's actually in demand.

I dont understand how they can justify these hideous and good-at-nothing things, but can't do an M3 Touring:dunnoanymore:

And the reason I say good at nothing, is simply because everything is compromised.

Its not a proper offroader, because ground clearance, big anti roll bars, low profile tyres....
And its also not a proper sportscar, because its heavy, topheavy and pretends to be able to go off the tarmac......
Its not economic......

So what is it really?

Yes, it was never intended to be a proper offroader, hence they call them SUVs

I also bet hauling 0-100 in 4.1s will make many feel like they are in a sports car :thumbs:

X3M and X4M now have the same front end.
Only difference is you get less headroom in the back with the X4M, but I assume you will pay more for that inconvenience?

It's really shit...

Nothing as tilting as these "BMW" offroaders... Seeing a huge X5 with one person sitting in it. Is a 5 series that much less comfy?
