BMW did an NDA protected preview of this vehicle about 2 years ago, and at the time they presented two concepts:
A 3 series Wagon sized vehicle (with a proper wagon back) and a larger X3 size vehicle.
This seems like they split the difference, got rid of the utilitarian back in exchange for the "Pretend it's a coupe" packaging of the GT and X4/X5 but kept most of the other styling fairly similar to the other iCars.
If the initial concepts were any indication, they are probably spending a lot more time focusing on the interior design to compete with the Tesla on technology, rather than the other wise derivative exterior.
FWIW, given my wife's inexplicable desire for the X4/X6, this will probably do very well amongst the upper class soccer mom elite.
