Interrior is great no question. I would have preferred the ipad to be more intergrated or retracting somehow.

Whilst I like it I cant help but think its not an X5. An X5 is a meant to be more muscular. This version seems to be built more to seat 7 (people mover style). I know that it isn't much longer but it has those proportions. More like a Q7 rather than an X5 (even though I believe the new X5 is much shorter than a Q7?).

Is it the fact that its slightly lower? The hood somehow longer? I think its the rear hatch area - is it less less angular?

The only muscular feature I can see is the air vent on the front guards.

A very nice family car but there are plenty of those to choose from.

That video tells me nothing truly informative. Just someone throwing out automotive marketing jargon that half of which does not make sense (the connection between headlights and grills somehow means power?)

Cut the guy some slack. Obviously he didn't write the narrative. I give the guy credit. There was a serious amount of German-English going on there. The narrative sounds like it was written by a German copywriter, then hastily translated to English, and not given to an editor whose 1st language was English. The result is pretty awkward, but it's not the actor's fault. Blame BMW's market department.
Not knowing how to say "X" is his fault.

Exactly. ESL script for sure.

But...seeing the new car (moving) next to the previous generations makes me LOVE it. It looks awesome inside and out. Now, do I dare put my wife in one? She knows how to mess up a car!

We live in United States where the body part on the side of your face is spelled as 'year' in written english. You're and your are thought to be interchangeable. The list is unending with some of the most ridiculous usage of works in the inappropriate ways. Look no further than bimmerpost forums if you might like that sort of entertainment.

Let's hear some English from the non-native English speakers, may sound a little odd due to their accents but quite likely they know how to spell things right in their own language.

Let's make that comment when Hooydonk speaks BMW in a funny way next time.

Full marks to the marketing people for putting up this video together, it did the job it was supposed to .

Lets just pray that this new version will have the ability to have the third row in the X5M. That will make me smile and spend some money.
