The orange in the headlamp housing doesn't bother me that much because the way the BMW looks on the outside is secondary to the experience when I'm inside.
As for what's the point of this car, I 'm thrilled that BMW has the X1 in their lineup or else I would have to look to another brand for what I'm planning to replace my E92 with......and many wouldn't consider me the younger type.
