WTF? Is this a cross between Mad Max and Game of Thrones?

It’s not just that the car is goppingly, monstrously ugly, inside and out, but that this is how BMW wants to celebrate 50 years of M cars. I know the performance will be outstanding but surely some sort of M1 type of development would’ve been more appropriate, or maybe a series of hand-made M5s and M3s. And make them electric, if that’s where M is heading.
Otherwise it’s just a case of making the X7 a bit snortier.
Wouldn’t you want to celebrate such a momentous anniversary by making the best car you possibly can, putting the very last screaming n/a engine in it - perhaps a development of their old V10 - with three pedals, and selling a couple of thousand of them for a couple of hundred thousand Euro each? They’d be sold out in hours, and everyone would be raving about the new M1. Otherwise it’s just a case of making the X7 a bit snortier.
But no, we get this gopping monstrosity that no-one is going to want to keep in their collection except as the daily.
I guess this is what happens when your main markets are Moscow, Beijing, Dubai and Florida and they're welcome to it.
Ultimate Driving Machine becomes Ugly Derisory Mess.
BMW what have you done? How can you tarnish the M brand with this hideous carbuncle and throw away the respect and heritage that has accrued over many decades?

Shock and awe from BMW!
Now they have got your attention - this will get people talking (and laughing) for months -
a high impact advertisement and its working wonders already! Look at the comments!
The Germans have got a sense of humour after all? Haven't they?
They'll let this run a.few months and then roll out the much more subdued model.
WON'T THEY? Tell me they will!
If this is for real I'm going to have to sell my BMW due to embarrassment through association.

Are they taking the pi$$? Basically they’ve imagined the Lubyanka dry humping St. Helier Hospital and put wheels at each corner.
