The design looks pretty athletic and typical BMW. I have a few issues: the coated plastic bumpers (black front and silver skid plate back and sides) make the car look cheap. Maybe the ZSP will have body color? The fog lights are out of place.

Interior looks good in general, but the black plastic surfaces of the HVAC look cheap with the light leather interior, and the rear passengers don't get HVAC control.

The biggest questions are:

What versions will be offered in the U.S.? Will RWD be available (probably not)? What about 6MT (hopefully)? And what about diesel (although X128 is probably just fine)?

At least you can do ED on this one.

Compare to the elegant new Z4, I guess for the entry level SAV this is all what you'll get. Wonder how the Audi Q3 will stack up.
