Hard not like it more than the iX since the front end is shared (obviously the grill and mesh aren't identical) with the F95 X5 M.

I'd state it more directly - the front-end of the iX and 4-series are hideous.
I don't know why BMW keeps using their flagship models as little Petri dishes to see what its customer base will tolerate. I was hooked on BMWs when they restyled the 3-series in the early 1990s, and we've owned at least two since. Now I have an X5 (G05) and my wife drives a Tesla Model 3. I've always bought BMWs because I was attracted to their styling. That's been more difficult to achieve with the current direction of their design language. Some have said "you'll get used to it". I don't buy a near-$100K vehicle because "I'll get used to it". I buy it because I'm drawn to it, and WANT to own it.
My next purchase is coming up in a year or two, and for the first time in almost 30 years I'm not certain that it will be a BMW.
