I hope you are right. F15 is longer than X3, and even longer than E70 X5, so the kink actually picks-up angle after the rear door.

I can clearly see the bottom line rising starting at the rear doors. The camouflage hides it pretty well, but there's still shadow.

I would take the line rising from 3rd row window anyday over line rising from 2nd row.
Still prefer E70-style kink though.

Another point why I don't think the king will be X3-style.
Has anyone spent time in the 3rd row in E70? I have (unfortunately), and let me tell you - you cannot see much out of that 3rd row window. I can't imagine they will raise the bottom line of the 3rd window to completely block the view.
They can afford to raise the line in X3, because of no 3rd row.

Whatever they do, you will not see any more metal than what you see on X1 and X3 after the kink.

It looks like it might look like a larger porsche cayenne. Who know with the camo though.

Really enjoyed this "figure skating" video. Thanks for posting

Auto Zeitung did a very poor render of F15 X5. Do not believe this.
