2010 X1
All I can say looks 10x better than the glk just wish it had dual exhaust. Im guessing pricing would be the same or cheaper than the GLK. If I didnt own a ML I would be so on this beauty. BMW back in my opinion.

I couldn't disagree with you more. X1 looks more like a wagon or 5 door hatchback. I have parked the GLK next to an X3 and they are very different. An X1 can't even compare. BMW sedans, X5 are great but the X1,X3 and X6 don't have it.

This is not unique to bimmer, you have the option, just like GLK offroad package (not available in US) They also have these plastic trims. Makes sense if you are always going "off trails"

Looks much better than the X3, that's for sure!
To me it looks very similar to the EX 35 or even bits of the Q5 with all the rounded edges...it's just ok for me, nothing special actually. It's also probabaly a few years over due, considering the X3 has been out forever without any major changes / facelifts...
And I agree, the back would look much nicer with a dual exhaust...personally I think that's where Audi even dropped the ball with their new 2009 A4 2.0 Quattro, with the single exhaust instead of the dual.

but mercedes let you choose that option which is prefectly fine if you plan to take it off road....bmw forces you to accept the unpainted plastic regardless if you are going off road or not (here in the states). they toned down the amount of unpainted plastic at the x3 refresh but I stll don't like the way it looks. I would predict that the majority of the x3 owners and the future x1 owners will not take it off road .

RE: how the GLK looks, I find the people I speak with, they either love it or hate it...for me, I liked it from the get go, such a unique look and style - it's good to be a little different, no?

I think the 3 series coupe should be the best looking car across all BMWs now, even their new 7 series looks so awful....!! very disappointed with bimmer. Audi and Benz are doing much better with designing their cars!
