E70 next to the new F85

theaudir8fan · 03-25-2015, 10:02 AM

Surprised to see the new F85 X5M already delivered here in Canada, I'm still not a huge fan of the front end design, but overall it does look quite good

UnicornM · 03-25-2015, 03:01 PM

I think it looks great, makes our outgoing E70s look dated somewhat.

F85 is starting to grow on me...
Only complaint from me is that the fogs makes the front end less clean.

The F85 looks skinnier to me

Disagree. I find the design uninspired, especially the rear. But I don't like BMW's current design language in general. It's like when VW killed my love for the GTi with the Mark V egg.

I still think the E70 looks better

Not a competition for me, not a big fan of the rear F85. E70 is the clear winner here, especially that example... so nice.

The E70 X5M is nice, but in love with the F85 X5M too!

That's what usually happens.. It looks more aggressive however the E70s is more subtle looking.

Absolutely love the new X5M. Makes our E70s look so old

neliconcept · 03-30-2015, 07:35 AM

Hopefully the fixed the engine sound with this one..

Javaco888 · 03-31-2015, 09:16 AM

Love the halos on the F85

gixxerboy63 · 03-31-2015, 09:55 AM

The F85 rear fender arches makes it look pregnant instead of muscular...

I still don't like the foglights.

Foglight delete anyone?

...or perhaps I am just picking over it because I'm not in a position to own one at the moment?

mleun481 · 03-31-2015, 10:42 AM

No fogs

theaudir8fan · 03-31-2015, 05:34 PM

yea the rear arches annoy me too, it doesn't flow into the body panel at all, the extra width looks like an after through

Flying Ace · 03-31-2015, 06:41 PM

Overall, I love the new F85 design and prefer it to the E70, though the LCI E70 looks great too.

I'm the type that like sharp edges on the car, and E70 has more of it than F85.
