Didn't even know BMW was going into the crossover market
Looks like one of their concept vehicles I saw at a car show last year. But it was a sedan.

X6 isn't a crossover?

SUV i think? SUV 'coupe'?

**LuckyDogg** · 02-12-2009 10:00 PM

Couldn't I just take my X6, lower it, and have the same thing for a few hundred million less in development costs?

No, the chassis itself is not as tall, but sedan proportions with a hatch.
I think this is BMW's way to push a 5 series wagon in the US.

How about we post a picture of the car that actually... shows a bit more of the shape of the car.

The whole thing seems very... concept-y, not production at all.

**Turbio!** · 02-12-2009 10:07 PM

Fastback sedan with a little more roof and the front end of the CS concept. Looks like it's gonna be called the 5-series GT. This is probably the standard 5er front end as well. I like it, looks nice.

I think it's very production-intent. The whole interior looks like a mildly customized production interior - I think this is what we'll see on the road.

sweet tailgate

**Fritz27** · 02-12-2009 10:11 PM

I think I like it. It looks very athletic.

**PhilHVW** · 02-12-2009 10:17 PM

Don't like it as much as I thought I would. It could be that gold color, or it could be Hooydonk standing next to it that's throwing me off. I'll always associate him with the abomination that is the previous generation 7 Series.

However, I'm going to definitely give this one some time to grow on me. The idea of a 5 door, fastback shaped car like this appeals to me.

The front looks pretty good, bodes well for the new 5 sedan.

The rest looks horrid though...

**TopSpeed** · 02-12-2009 10:29 PM

I actually like MB's more than BMW's designs lately. I am glad Bangle is leaving BMW although certain vehicles of his actually look amazing (current X5 and the Z4).

**amdmaxx** · 02-12-2009 10:36 PM

ugly and overpriced!
European pedestrian safely laws make the front un-aerodymanic as well.

**adrew** · 02-12-2009 10:47 PM

What is the point of this?

**LoudTIGER** · 02-12-2009 10:48 PM

bmw is quickly becoming toyota... all their vehicles are turning into SUVs

Because one's a trunk (though it's not really a trunk... more like an anus) and the other is a hatch!

**LinkATX** · 02-12-2009 10:53 PM

A vehicle that handles like a BMW and has the utility of an SUV without the sacrifice? What are people crying about?

I dig it.

It's not familiar enough.

**matches** · 02-12-2009 10:56 PM

I hate the X6. I love this. Maybe because it's not crossing with SUV DNA.

**THE KILLER RABBIT** · 02-12-2009 10:56 PM

do we miss bangle already?? lol

Except it doesn't have the utility of an SUV. The 5er Wagon is the vehicle you described, this is simply a 5er Hatch.

What if your primary need is for passenger room and comfort, not outright cargo space?

Does the X5 not handle like a BMW?

**PocketAce** · 02-12-2009 11:02 PM

Bwahahah! BMW, You're so weird and pointless, yet still interesting...

**DrewSXR** · 02-12-2009 11:23 PM

Caption this...

**TigerinColorado** · 02-13-2009 12:30 AM

That car-tas-trophe looks and acts like a Preparation H supository (sp?)...

Not too bad. Not sure what the point is, but not too bad. Also gives lots of hints how the next 5 series will look like.

**Angina** · 02-13-2009 01:01 AM

don't like the idea, but the trunk idea seems cool. I love the new 5-series headlights compared to the current headlights.

**Moodyblues** · 02-13-2009 02:26 AM

Looks like a Beluga whale.

**VTECjustkickedinyo** · 02-13-2009 02:35 AM

Looks like an X6

Austin Maxi lives again!

Do NOT like the upright hatchback style stance, but do like the cues which are obviously hints at what the new 5 is going to look like (headlights, taillights, side crease, etc) - seems a return to the good ol' days when a 5 looked like a 7 that had shrunk in the wash.

This hatch thing will hopefully fail like the Vauxhall Signum
