Love it or hate it, this is where it began.
The BMW X-coupe designed by Chris Bangle as a three dimensional forum for BMW’s then new “flame surfaces” the X-coupe previewed at the 2001 Detroit Auto Show.
Five years later it’s starting to look like a trend-setting contemporary classic - lean, surprising - a visual paradox from any angle....
It was touted at the time as being a crossover of sorts...a sports-handling off-road coupe....which explains it's relatively high ride height.
But the overall exterior design is where the action is.
Possibly the most influential of all BMW’s concept cars done in the last decade.

If this were the new 2-series coupe, I would love it.
