i think the only thing that stands out to me as being liked is that steering wheel w paddles

its a shame because it seems its a well driving car just put into an egg body shell w an interior from a CRV
I think BMW is just sweating the CLAR platform, which is already a well driving platform.

The G45 drivetrain is shared with other BMW models, just tweaked. The CLAR platform isn’t new, iDrive 9 is already used in the lower X1, which bizarrely looks like a more premium model.

The big bits that BMW “spent money” on specifically for the G45 are the body panels, and interior. Maybe be the iDrive controller cost a lot lol
