[...] UPDATE: Indeed, Nick at Left Lane News let us know the origin of this pic is really a rendering from 2005 that’s based on an X3. Indeed, it’s obviously a fake when compared to a picture of the smaller X3. Thanks, Nick! [...]

I actually thought BMW made a good looking SUV. Oh well. Was a good rendering.

I think the fake images looks better than the Spy shots.

And those taillights are off the camo’ed version. I actually kind of think that side skirt is cool looking though.

It would be better if BMW used the artist’s rendering design (minus the side skirt and 5-series headlights) instead of the design in the spy photos. The X5 in the spy photos is quite conservative and boring, as it looks very similar to the current X5 that has been on the market for a long time now. At least the artist’s rendering is something different. The real X5’s design is going to age quickly.

I saw a new camoed X5 in the San Fernando Valley running the test circuit about 2 weeks ago and it looks A LOT different then that. It’s has a Range Rover Sport kind of profile and seems a little smaller then the current X5

Exactly what I thought Scott, ‘why would BMW reuse 5 series headlights on the X5 when no other models they make share headlights?’

By: Scott

Scott — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 15:06:57 +0000

Yeah I saw that and was like “What?” You won’t be seeing 5-Series headlights on the new X5, and my guess is that it will actually look, you know, Good when it’s actually revealed.
