And now the wildly criticized X7 huge grills are already dating all other X cars except the new X5 which has similar large grills.
The change from more important aspects are more serious as the hydraulic steering and high revving NA engines but these changes are driven by regulations and not what BMW preferred. A removal of the MT would be very serious though and I can see the die hard MT drivers leaving if that happens.

See, and I dont mind the new styling on SUV's but I do mind it on such an iconic car like the M3. I just really hope BMW takes the design language in an M5 and transfers that to the new M3.
