On a related note...

The number of interns and freelance designers is a bit out of hand; especially when most are bouncing from studio to studio.
Yes you know an intern or someone who has had experience with the design department because you see the current thinking in their freelance portfolios on behance,Pinterest or Deviant Art.

I'm just wondering who is going to buy this that wasn't going to buy the X7 anyway?

I'm no market expert or anything, but it seems BMW might be over extending itself at this point.

LOL Agent

BMW has an X1 - X7, and now with an X8, BMW is finally over extending itself?

Since the world tends to love SUVs, I think there's room for an X8, X9 and X10...maybe through 15. We'll see.

And I don't mind, because all of these SUVs selling (well, leasing) like hotcakes affords BMW to have development funds for new M sedans and coupes. I'll take that. So have at it, BMW, I look forward to seeing the X11 minibus with the BMW badge on it.

I can see this as a totally new SUV (SAC, etc..) concept, like X6 was in the past..
As they still don't want to build a sport car due to the high demand of SUVs, we might appreciate them as being the leaders in this class ✌

Nah. You are interesting. You don't see many posters stick around at forums just to spite the brand they once liked. There's some major commitment here.

So BMWs first M only model is a huge SUV? Shouldn't it be a 2 door sports car like Audi R8? That's more M

Don't get me wrong. I will probably by an X8/XM as my next car. I actually want a fully electric car but the iX doesn't look the looks. Might change my mind when I see it in irl. But the X8 is really exciting and if the M45e has 100 km electric range then I'm all set.

Does anyone have a decent render of this, the new 7 or X7? All I hear is Scott saying the renderings are inaccurate and I can't expect the homepage to show anything because they're too focused on the 3 and 4.

Everything shown on this prototype is false. It's so well hidden that the rivets give everything away.
