I think they just ask Lego to design the cars now, so that the Lego kits will look more accurate compared to the real thing...

I saw one yesterday, not pretty

[TodmordenLad]

I'd rather get the bus than be seen behind the wheel of one of these 😂

[Danj94]

Did you say "deal"? you must be mistaken.

[Pond]

The only thing that caught my eye (apart from the hideous transformer thing in the picture) was the £299.99 'processing fee'.

Since when did these additional bullshit costs become acceptable?

[SkyJawa]

Christ that’s awful

[KRS_SN]

Forget the cons....
I like its looks. Pros It dares to be different....it's attention grabbing...it's a very rare car ..it's an m...it's cheap fuel as hybrid.. at 50 miles a charge itll do most commuting for peanuts. No range anxiety.
for 10k miles at £949 down £949 pm it may appeal to some not me on the monies.
Some on the ix forums have switched to xm and love it as a more of a drivers suv.
If it was £599 down £599 pm like a past x3m deal I recall being celebrated on here I'd have one in a heartbeat. Subject to test drive to see if I can live with it in the glaswegian roads. That's no1 criteria regardless.

It's basically a very ugly X5 50e, this one is 2.7 tonnes and 110k basic list price, the deal is £1000 a month on a 3+35 10k profile.

I know they call it an M car but it isn't one that I recognise as an M car, detuned B58 plus a hybrid system 175hp/tonne isn't M car performance.

If you want to trundle around on EV only then there are better ways to save money than spending a grand a month running this thing with 65hp/tonne which is what it has in EV mode.

If you want a large BMW SUV with a mix of economy and power then the X5 40d is so much better than this.

Well Wills, to pick up on a theme from another thread, you certainly won't be looking back at this monstrosity in the carpark - out of sheer embarrassment 😂

Well I have no room to talk on that score so maybe I should get into a XM

People with sense will agree...the xm though is styled to attract the exact opposite demographic.

[Sennen]

Its ridiculous, the roads are getting more congested, they seem to be making the roads narrower, parking spaces havent increased in size since the year dot and the roads are full of holes

We really need to follow Frances example on these carbuncles and tax them out of existence.........

Having attempted to traverse the 3rd world roads of Mid Cheshire yesterday in my Golf R I’d say there is absolutely a place for something that will be able to climb the craters the riddle the highway.

And of course in a capitalist society where people can make their fortunes from any form of entrepreneurship including building and property development, free choice should be a given

Just ignore me, I'm thinking how its odd how those who have made millions from the free society they live in - whether building, property development, investment banking etc, would then seek to restrict the choices of others. Unless of course its just an act...

I know a guy who has one but at least he got the full fat version so at least in that there is some reason behind the decision.

I think the demographic is vanishingly small as this car is a huge flop everywhere.

TBF you seem to do alright by just 'counting beans'.

True..fake abs... fake lips..there's a market for ungainly things...the price tag is a deterrent or there would be many more xm on the streets
