2020 X6

RobUK · 07-08-2019, 03:12 AM

Not an attractive car, and with illuminated grilles...

g9icy · 07-08-2019, 04:45 AM

Grilles are horrid, but I seem to be one of the few people that quite like the shape of the X6's.

I'd love to have a go of an X6M

isleaiw1 · 07-08-2019, 05:53 AM

I think they have managed to make it even uglier - which is amazing, given where it started....

davyk31 · 07-08-2019, 09:00 AM

Oh dear, that’s quite an achievement to produce something so ugly and expect people to hand over money for one.

teaston · 07-09-2019, 06:53 AM

I think it looks great! The grilles aren't ideal, but definitely nicer than the X5 & X7, and obviously the 7 series and 1 series, probably the 3 series too!

The grille illumination is optional, which obviously nobody should spec.

JustChris · 07-09-2019, 06:59 AM

Rear end looks a bit basic. Needs more vents and slats

I haven’t even looked at the grilles or the front yet before coming to my conclusion. Just looked at the rear which is hideous.

The whole new BMW range is ugly. Not a fan to be fair.

I know some designs grow on you but I can't see anything of this growing on me.

It's a mess. They have lost the plot.

Totally lost the plot. The grills are getting ridiculous. The x2 has to be one of the worst looking BMWs currently available.

What's wrong with the X2 looks? Looks stunning to me:

Yep, the X2 is probably the high point of the range now, along with the nearly retired 4-series.

Unfortunately the X2 is a MINI underneath though! And no cheaper than a similarly specced X3 on lease/PCP!

I get what you are saying, but the X2 is more style-led so appealing to two days different markets (akin to Evoque and Discovery Sport). If you want one, you probably wouldn't want the other.

Stunning ? Clearly you are blind and have no taste

Watsey · 07-10-2019, 01:43 PM

All is not well in BMW design these days. Many ugly cars being spewed onto the roads.

davyk31 · 07-10-2019, 02:31 PM

The X2 doesn’t look too bad compared to most of the rest of the range. Certainly needs M Sport and decent wheels. Would never think of using the word stunning though.

RobUK · 07-10-2019, 02:45 PM

I'm just wondering what future BMWs are going to get illuminated grilles as an option. Then what...? Musical grilles? Grilles that fold down into a seat?
