Just seems like another unnecessary model in the line up but what do I know, maybe it will sell. I assume this is a Q8 competitor?

The Q8 is actually smaller than the Q7/X7.

Not sure why they would need a vehicle larger than the X7...

I do know the Q8 is smaller and I thought that looking at this it looked smaller/sleeker in terms of roofline vs the X7. Like the Q8 I thought maybe it was supposed to be sportier without a 3rd row like the Q8.

disgusting proportions.

all they did was slope the roof toward the rear.

while lexus is cutting back models, bmw is making a car for every niche

The long body makes it look deceptively larger than the X7 when in actuality it's smaller positioned right next to it (in white). I guess BMW is mirroring the relationship between the 8 Gran Coupe and 7 Series with these two SUVs?

Wow the grill looks actually proportional to the rest of the SUV 👍

X8 is the coupe version of X7 a la X6 to X5.
Brilliant way to generate higher margins by changing up styling and charging much higher price.
