Love everything about it except the stupid gap right under the twin-kidney grille and above the bumper. Why the hell leave a gap like that?! Lexus RX330 had one just like it (under grille, above bumper) and they got rid of it when they made a hybrid out of it. Come on BMW!

I too saw the camoed x5 about 2 months ago in the Valley, Chatsworth to be exact. I also saw the 328i coupe a few weeks ago, saw the M5 and 750 a long time ago. Designworks is in Agoura Hills thats why.

I saw these things driving through my small city in Southern California. There were 2 x5’s with a little clading and a couple others that I could not make out but wierd looking! Should have gotten some pics.

I like the sticks hanging off the front of the car, personally. It looks like you’re really important. It would get noticed in SoCal, definitely.

You wait. When the first guy puts camera sticks on his Bimmer, you saw it here first.

Garris you’re an idiot, you’re still thinking that this car comes with all these sticks attached on the front end.

HOLY CRAP, Notice the Width of the Back Tires! Those look like they’re 12-14 inches wide! Does any body know what models are coming out first? 3.0TT, 4.4i, 4.8i, MX5 5.0i!!??

Anyone notice the lack of gaps on that vehicle? That’s a bit unreal! Like the sides of the hood and (I know angle matters here) but you can’t make out anything concerning the door gaps!

Either they’ve figured something incredible out or this picture does not communicate everything.

Boy, I’m starting to believe these blog’s posts should be moderated… Getting too annoying to sort through the junk to actually interesting comments…

This is actually somewhat surprising. There’s something about the front that feels very un-BMW. Maybe it’s the super busy front bumper design, or the “of the moment” style vents/fog light cutouts. There’s almost a hint (unintentional, I’m sure) of Toureg there.

While I’ll wait to see it in person for final judgement, it doesn’t seem like an improvement over the current, tighter design at all.

Disappointing. I think we’re seeing some conservative (too conservative?) design in reaction to the earlier Bangle models…

“I’ll take a VW toureg or Cadillac SRX any day. Better perfromance, more utility, Better quality with the Cadillac and best of all, lower price.” Not to Crucify you, but I must say…
The X5 is going to out perform any non Porsche SUV’s and most likely all the Porsche’s except the Turbo and Turbo S… unless they put the M5 V10 in it that would be nice…
Anyways, Cadillac is not a bad vehicle, but performance wise it is not in the same league as an X5. Believe me, I have owned a 4.4i X5 and my parents have an SRX with the Northstar. My truck was more usable, could tow, and was more reliable I will give you this though the interior was a little too bleak, but all in all was of higher quality then the SRX. My brother has a Toureg, and I gotta say, thats a sweet ride, but again, doesn’t compare to the X5 in the points you gave except that it’s cheaper. But You Get what you pay for.

Seems like BMW is running out of Design Ideas. Just like infiniti. but they have a good ‘german engineering’ fad that people beleive. I’ll take a VW toureg or Cadillac SRX any day. Better perfromance, more utility, Better quality with the Cadillac and best of all, lower price.
Cadillac even Handles better than Any German ‘Sport Activity vehicle’
But, Thats just me. Do not crusify me for stating my opinion

This SUV doesn’t look too different from the outgoing model. It has a more X3 look about it I think….Its not too bad, but not different enough for me to care about this.

It’s pretty crazy to consider how much photo manipulation goes into getting the final images for automotive and fashion photography.

This will be lotrot once the new Lambdas come to market. They won’t be able to give this piles of crap away once everyone checks out their local Buick, GMC or Saturn dealerships and drives one the new extrordinary Enclave, Acadia or Outlook.

Y’all got to get off this German crap. Buy GM folks (if you want a real car)

More ‘over styled’ merde from BayMVey. Looks like Bangle is showing his folio around Japan. At least he’s backed off the 3.

Looks a lot like the previous gen X5. Which is good.

The X5 is still the best looking SUV out there. I’m sure it will reign supreme once again.

hmmm doesnt look too different, it looks like a facelift with revised bumpers and lights, the interior spyshots show bigger changes ,i’ll wait for official pics (which cant be too far away)

meh for a car thats been sold for what the last 5 years or so…this is so minor of a change they’ll have to change it again soon..otherwise it doesn’t really look like a whole new car.

GMrules this SAV would blow away even the caddy escalade & people the rear is much more different than the current X5’s.

What a joke. You all should be looking at the new Tahoe. More power, more space, and more quality.

It looks more like a facelift than a redesign. I bet the interior change will be more noticeable.
