To each his own. I wasn't the biggest fan of the re-design when it initially debuted, but it has certainly grown on me. I talked my parents into buying a new X5 Xdrive35i M-Sport last summer and they've been very pleased with it (they were coming out of a '13 E70). I've driven it several times and have to admit I enjoy it more than I do my F10. Only thing that bothers me about it is the plastic steering wheel trim that not only feels like something that belongs in a Ford Tempest, but when the lane departure warning vibration activates, it makes an intrusively audible rattle that makes me crazy. If it was mine, I'd have the trim replaced with something else. Great SUV otherwise - love how flat it handles, makes our F10s really feel boat-like by comparison.
