A very interesting video regarding the original X5's design from the designer himself Frank Stephenson (Maserati MC12, Ferrari F430, etc.). Shockingly the initial sketch was done in only two hours on an airplane!

Also notice how he immediatley made sure to draw a Hofmeister Kink and body lines that go through the door handles *cough* G22 *cough*
