It's ok to whine about its look in a general BMW forum.
But this is a dedicated iX forums for people who are interested or planning the buy the car.

Sure, you are "entitled" as this is not against the rule.
But it is simply not a nice thing to do in this dedicated forum, as interested buyers who want to check out the reviews in this thread have to wade through these useless hate and distracting posts.
TBH the comparison is pretty weak from the outset because judging a person's looks and comparing it to an inanimate object are different things.

I think commenting on any persons looks negatively is pretty mean but in a forum where none of us have driven the car, I think it's fair game to judge the looks of it at the very least.

If you're planning on purchasing a car and it's looks are polarizing, then you shouldn't be swayed either way on other peoples opinions on the car. But those people are still entitled to say what they think about it.
