Striking resemblance- X5 vs Sam the Eagle :)

Aaron in Denver · 12-23-2014, 09:01 PM

Walking to our X5 the other day when wife makes interesting comment: "the truck looks just like the eagle from the muppet show..." Looked up Sam the Eagle, and I have to agree. Hilarious. It's one fast muppet!

Lol, interesting observation. Car designers do actually get their ideas from animals. Just take a look at the Infiniti models. The QX56 looks like it was influenced by a manta ray. The FX37 looks like it came from a shark.

Could not figure out to post both photos- Got the Eagle

back this week after a heartbreaking run in with a piece of particle board on the interstate at about 70mph with only 600 miles on the odometer

They did a nice job repairing the bumper below the left lower grill, and installed the M50d trim as well. Finally got to take a decent photo! Loving the Space Gray.

Great observation by your wife.
Sorry to hear about your new X5 getting damaged.

Looks awesome. Glad you have it back.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks Turbo- hope the 50i is treating you right. I smile every time I drive mine.

We will get together somewhere up north and compare notes sometime soon.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!
