I was just about to ask, will new X5 have that F30's lights/grille design? Looks like I will be sorely disappointed. I hate that rotten out zombie teeth look with passion.

Hurry up and make the e70's cheap!

This looks like it might just be a very goshdarn sexy SAV.

Ohhhh yessss (ohm ohm, chick...chicka chicka!)

gary88 · 08-09-2012, 11:23 AM

Have they made it even bigger?

Diver · 08-09-2012, 12:04 PM

Rides on an F10 5 series platform, interesting. It is becoming more of a crossover. Air curtains are a nice technology. I wonder what else goes into the design to increase efficiency. More diesels for the US would be nice.

Fantastic point.... makes complete sense

Can't really tell what the final product will look like from that, but I have high hopes.

I don't know. With the camo still on, the front looks like the current-gen X3.

This is why I've said all along that I really hope this is an X4 but I guess not. I only have one word to say about the recent 8/9/12 reveal:

SISSIFIED.

It has to be lighter for better dynamics.
Curious about new styling too

Frank_NJ · 08-10-2012, 07:24 AM

After what I have seen so far I told my dealer I want one of his last E70 production allocations slots for next July which will be the last month to order the E70 body style.

phx08 · 08-10-2012, 03:29 PM

Hmmm, now that you mention it. It does look a bit like the new-gen X3 :S

Poster Above - I would wait for more shots to come out..IMO.

ATX78703 · 09-17-2012, 01:15 PM

any more updates on this vehicle?

jerembutler · 10-18-2012, 10:32 PM

God this machine looks so epic! It's very elegant looking and it has this sharp edge to it. I really really love it. The one thing I think that BMW does best is that they always put on the best type of equipment on their cars like the quality auto parts here on this X5.

Look forward to driving one soon here in Germany
