If there were not enough LR rivals now:

FL2 MY13 TD4 GS Current

I still prefer the look of the Ewok over any of its rivals....

Oh, a BMW X2

I thought you might have been being serious for a minute there!

I'll never own a BMW because their business practices stink. They buy up companies and nick all the secrets and get rid of them leaving the staff without jobs in a lot of cases. They did it with Land Rover, Rover, Husqvarna and others. They also never ever admit that their products have a problem. It's always "user error". Then they sneak in a redesigned part under the same part number. I had this with a motorcycle. If I hadn't done my own servicing I wouldn't have known.
Then there's that fact that they just look horrible. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

I wonder if they supply a balaclava to wear when you are driving it so that your friends won't recognise it's you in a BMW. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Don’t forget that they never have to “recall” their products either but, if you’re lucky enough, you might have a “product enhancement”

Just another pretender.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

New Evoque is out next year with hybrid option to follow.

Evoque is still a good seller, it’s saw off a lot of competition over the last 7 years, I doubt the X2 will worry LR too much. I bought mine from launch and it was an exciting time best car launch LR has done for a long time IMO.

The rear pillar on the X2 reminds me of a crash dummies head  21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

the only BMW X cars I like are the X4 and X6 because they stand out from the bland crowd.

they will still get stuck in light frost though

Just another bland boring SUV with lots of plastic bits stuck on to make it look aggressive !!

From a BMW owner perspective....

I don't know why everyone is comparing the X2 to the Evoque as personally I think the X4 is more comparable size wise, the X2 is more along the lines of the Mercedes GLA and Audi Q2 - where priority is more fashion status than go anywhere ability.

Had a BMW for 4 years now and found dealer / service team to be excellent - much better then the LR people I used to deal with.

Oh - and with the harsh winter we had with snow and ice my X3 never got stuck once  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
