    Looks like a Chinese clone companies interpretation of what an X7 could be. Horrible.

    That looks horrendous. Why not just use the photocopier as usual and make it bigger?

    Reminds me of a Volvo but it's a concept so it will probably end up looking nothing like that.

    BMW concepts usually end up pretty much looking the same as the final car, minor details will change.

    BMW Z9 concept, ended up being the 6 series e63/e64

    Nevermind the doors, overall design very similar to final product

    BMW i8 concept

    BMW Z07 (Became Z8)

    BMW CS1 Concept (Became 1 series coupe)

    wpid-autowp-ru_bmw_cs1_concept_14.jpeg?w=656

    BMW xActivity vehicle, which became X3 eventually, looks very similar anyway.

    BMW Granturismo concept which became F07 eventually

    And so on..

    I had been wondering why the latest gen x5 seemed to shrink compared to the previous model, guess this explains it.

    It looks very similar to the volvo xc90, but perhaps that just goes with the territory of a larger SUV. That grill is horrendous, but I'd imagine that's not going to be on the real thing. It would surely be more subdued!

    Things like this aren't intended to go off-road... unless you mean half-parked on the footpath at the local school.

    It almost looks like a Chinese copy of a bmw.
