These are looking like a good lightly used opportunity and whilst the outside look is subjective the inside can be glorious in the right colour.

I’ll sort a test drive then sit and wait for sub £100k offers but what are they like to own?

Well I asked Williams Liverpool about a test drive and they didn’t have even a used one so I’ll need to travel.

Not an owner, though i was at sytner Coventry on Monday having a brake fluid service and they had two in. I quite liked it though it is massive.

Had one on loan for a long weekend and took it back after 2 hours.
Too slow, too big and too ugly for me. Just can’t work out what it’s trying to be?
X5M quicker, handled better and (to my eyes) looks less offensive. Or just get an M5.
One of the worst vehicles (most disappointing) I’ve driven in years. So obviously targeted at China/Middle East markets. This will surely end up BMW’s biggest depreciating car. What a pig.

I saw one in Sytner BMW Leeds a month or so ago when I was picking up a car, not my cup of tea but it was certainly getting a lot of attention, looked huge.

I was hoping this would be about beautiful Citroens, but instead ghastly BMWs. Hey ho.

100%, some way for 'BMW Motorsport' to celebrate their 50th anniversary... clear that BMW M are now aiming their products at people who are either incapable or have no interest in driving fast. Would love to speak to Jochen Neerpasch to hear his thoughts on that XM thing.
