BMW X5M F85 Design Question to M-Group
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <Adrian.Hooydonk@bmw.de> Date: Jan 27, 2014 5:44 AM Subject: AW: The New 2015 X5M To: Cc: Dear John, Thank you for your passionate interest in our products. So far we have launched the new X5 and it’s M-Sport pack and have received quite favourable reviews, M products have not been communicated yet. Our Design-philosophy is a clear differentiation between each model-line. However, in our prototypes we try to disguise design features as much as possible. Therefore I think one should not read too much into spyshots of prototypes and I think we shape the same beliefs on and passion for the BMW brand! Very best regards, Adrian van Hooydonk. ------------------------------------------ BMW Group Regina Bäuml P.A. to Adrian van Hooydonk Department ED Phone: +49-89-382-42220 <tel:%2B49-89-382-42220> Fax: +49-89-382-46150 <tel:%2B49-89-382-46150> mailto: regina.baeuml@bmw.de http://www.bmwgroup.com ------------------------------------------ Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft Vorstand: Norbert Reithofer, Vorsitzender, Milagros Caiña Carreiro-Andree, Herbert Diess, Klaus Draeger, Friedrich Eichiner,Harald Krüger, Ian Robertson, Peter Schwarzenbauer.

Impressive.
Most of the high performance SUV variants do not look vastly different from the lower models unless you know how to spot the differences. SRT8, and AMG63 come to mind. I think many like driving a beastly SUV/SAV that is not too flashy. What SUV would you go after if its not the X5M?

Performance is key, as we all know. However, a M driver feel we're in another leauge .If we wanted standard we would just buy X5 M Sport! Many people cannot own a M car but dream of one day of owning one. Don't get me wrong, I too stsrted out at 318i back in 1989. Since then I have always upgraded each year till I own my first M car and it's a totally different drive. Once you go M you cannot go back to your standard BMW. A M driver will pay that extra 20k to get what they want. They will not buy a X5M Sport a feel they have a M car! This is what set apart a true M driver from a standard BMW driver. Not saying all M driver feel this way, but most do and will not tell you ...so not to seem like an Ass *@#$

No-one buys an M sport thinking they have an ///M. No-one is pretending to be in your 'league.' Some of us buy these "trucks" for our wives and don't feel the need for 400+ hp in a car intended primarily to drive our children around.
Enjoy your delusions. Those of us spending a mere 60 - 110k on our 'regular' X5's promise not to breath on you. FYI, we're still talking about BMW's, not Porsche 918 Hybrid's (google it). Last edited by chrisny; 02-05-2014 at 08:15 AM.. |

Why have I only seen one on the street in London so far ? Are sales that bad ? For a place with so many X5 fans - you see one on just about every corner -you'd expect to see a lot more of new models by now 3-4 months after release. What's happening ? |

And before you keep making yourself look even worse by running your mouth about what other vehicle I should get or can't afford, take a peek here:http://YouTube.com/twitchmassacres You're a sad little person. The scum of forums like these. Have a good one.

Where did this thread go so wrong? But back on point, a more subtle tweak in appearance seems to be the norm for all car makers....SRT Cherokee, Turbo S Cayenne, Mustang Cobra, SQ5...etc. can't think of one performance version that looks drastically different. If they popped on too many flares and nostrils, it would like someone had a revolving charge account at Autozone. Loved the X5M for its power and comfort but that new baby Porsche Turbo ute seems to be drawing me in.

Like you said, anyone can post pictures, which is why I, unlike you, provided video. Very convenient of you to ignore it (safety blanket?). But no worries, I'm not one to chest beat over something as insignificant as the car I drive. I'm glad chrisny smacked you in the face with some humble pie. I mean, what kind of mental and emotional deficiencies must one have to say things like "we are in another league" and make elitist pompous remarks at other members all fueled by the fact that you drive a moderately expensive vehicle, in America of all places? Perhaps it's just a matter of being a foolish nouveau riche asshole with delusions of grandeur. I mean really, a 2006 M5 and 2013 X5M? That gets you on "another league"? What league would that be? The league of douchebag? Cause I'll tell you, I rather debadge my M6 than be in any way related to that kind of classless foolishness. Note to non-M owners: I'll share the same air with you, I don't think myself a god because of a small badge on my car, but watch out for this guy he's "special".
