That is a lot of money for less space then an X5.

These are going to sell like crazy

The space isn’t going to matter one bit- this is an image car

I wouldn’t spend a penny over $35,000 for this fugly piece of ****

Badass- I bet it’s pretty safe to say that you aren’t part of BMW’s target demographic

STFU jonmiles.

This is a great car. Im not a fan of BMW but I like this very much.

In EU it will probably cost from 60,000EUR to 100,000 for the top model.

52k USD is very cheap for car like this.

Sorry jonmiles, I meant STFU SWM335 and Badass :))

How many of these f*cking things do they need in their lineup? I guess they know their customer base, but if I had 60k and was BMW shopping this would not be it.

Well, at least no one can say they were copying Mercedes on this one.

R.I.P. Boyd Coddington

Well, I’m in this demographic and I do not like this vehicle. I know that it was designed around aerodynamics, but it looks cheap, weird, and awkward.

This is the only SUV I would buy other than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.

BMW customers love wierd and awkward. How else would you explain the popularity of the 6 and 7 series?

Teenagers are weird and awkwark. The only thing missing from this vehicle are the pimples.

@jonmiles, the series before Bangle were the best and their styling still rings true. The edgy Bangle led styling is simply edgy with a few winners as they start to further refine the styling. As far as styling this is not one of the winners, and I doubt it will grow on people. Probably those who think they have a status symbol will purchase said vehicle, but I will be one of those other people laughing at them at the stoplight.

@ 400horseSS, sad, sad news about Boyd, as I’ve been to his shop, and his crew hangout at a local watering hole where I like to take my wife. Sad.

Bet it will be the best-handling SUV you can buy.
Looks better in Black with Dubs.
Like the Soft-close doors option.

This is a WAGON! It doesn’t even sit up high, how can this be an SUV? I’d buy the Infiniti EX before this and save 18k! And yes, the Enclave wins this one. Like the 1-series, BMW thinks they can overprice their cars and people will still buy them. Maybe they can, only time will tell.

So let me get this straight: $63k and you have to pay extra for leather as an option?!? WTF is that?

I just don’t see the point of this vehicle at any cost.

For the money, I would rather have an M3.

WOW- $10k for the v8. just wow…

It’s such a overpriced dumb looking car. lol

BMW Xr4Ti6 ?, Im on a roll

Like F451 stated, I am also within the target market of this vehicle. It may lack the “Utility” features, but i may consider trading in the Cayenne for this. You guys dont realise. There is still an X5 out there, if you think this is unneccessary. Get an X5. Also, one might not purchase this vehicle as a status symbol, it’s unique. People love to have the newest most interesting things. I’m sure its pretty sharp in person also.

Meh - AMC did this with the Eagle. BMW is just trying to see what they can get away with. Los Angeles will be lousy with ‘em.

It’s more or less a slightly upscale and um, probably better vehicle than the Infiniti FX45. Plus, it’s a BMW, there’ll certainally be a market for it.

It’s not extremely overpriced, but what is overpriced are all those options that on most other cars come standard. Even more alarming is some of the prices for those upgrades.

You gotta pay $600 so the doors don’t clank when you shut them?

How much do they charge for the invisible “Douche Bag” sticker that everyone else sees except other BMW drivers?

That would be a Twin-Turbo V8 though

BMW’s answer to the Pontiac Aztek.

I like! Would you prefer the twin-turbo V6 or the twin-turbo V8? haha, love it!

it is insane price. Why would anyone spend 50+K on a vehicle when better one (X3) can be had for less? Where is differentiation? X3 can be had with the same mill, tranny and it looks way better then this mistake of a hatchback ( I love hatchbacks!). I just don’t get it.

Can imagine that this will be much better to drive than the X3.

autonut: Why? It’s the bragging rights…

I do understand some people’s sentiments over the outrageously priced options of all Bimmers. The 52.5K base price would jump up by 10K if the vehicle is almost fully loaded. The only real utility I see for this vehicle is if you live somewhere where there are a lot of potholes and shallow floods. Most likely a tropical country. Besides that if you live in the city, the only reason for buying is for its good looks and bragging right.

Ugh…quite pricey. Then again this is BMW. You get what you pay for.

I saw the X6 at the car show, and I was impressed with the look of it in person. However, it’s a lot of money, and I still don’t get the point of it from a practicality / utility standpoint.

quite expensicve

I think it’s great for those living in an urban environment, esp NYC. It’s like having an elevated 5 series, so you don’t need to worry about potholes and have improved visibility. On top of that, with the TT V8, you can outrace any frustrated cabbie. It’s the perfect car for anyone who wants to navigate the city quickly (and cut off heaps of people in the process). I think there will be more and more cars like this out there in the future.

1c3d0g, ktulu: you’re right

They kinda were copying mercedes
lets make an irrelevant vehicle (R-class)
and overprice the hell out of it

and lucky for you sunshine, they dont produce the Cayenne Turbo S anymore, looks like youve decided haha
