The Ontario plate in the photos is interesting, will the X5 M50d be on sale in Canada? Even if not, I have a hard time understanding why they would keep the Ontario plates in the photos if it is just for marketing purposes. Usually BMW have EU plates for their photos?

Logically speaking the BMW X5 M50d already has all the bits aside from the official okay from the government. Canadian cars uses the same KPH cluster The M-sport bumpers with side markers is already available. New diesels should be built to meet NOX standards already. I don't see why we might not see this car available in the Canadian Market. |

You'll see similar Ontario plates on the X5 models featured in the various first drive reviews from press outlets.

I would love one of these sitting next to my 1M Coupe in the garage... Too bad it won't come to the US.

I would like to see an M Sport with fog delete option...
I can't understand who approved their position Maybe only X5 M will have the fog lights deleted, this will give a much better look! |

So Jason, will the car come to Canada or not? Is the car assembled in Germany or the USA do you know or can you find out?
Would be nice to know ... I'm thinking of changing my M3 to a SUV Diesel ... if it's not going to be the Bimmer then it will be the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. Thanks

Interior :
looks great but follows instead of leads. Exterior: Very x3-ish but more feminine and too safe. Not so good. I'm not so sure the x5 should be the stylistic follower. The rear is very minivan/crossover/ Toyota Venza ish(?) The rear glass is all wrong. Sure,maybe they increased their cargo volume but It wrecks the side view. Its lost its edginess and aggression. I think BMW needs to shake it up a bit, like they did under Bangle. Yeah yeah everybody bashes tihis guy but he stretched the industry and he knew that making "different" is critical to keeping your more demanding customers engaged. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but: Why buy a BMW if it doesn't handle the best , go the fastest, have the leading tech and be the coolest looking thing?! I'm just a little bored. Hopefully the x6 will be more aggressive as speculated. |
