It seems that the door sills are much higher than the current X5. Kinda looks like more and more cars are going that way. The chrysler 300 being the most apparent model going the way of higher door sills.
I hope that the lights high up on the rear next to the rear windows is just tape and not actually rear taillights Like those that are on the volvo Suv. I hate that look. I actually would not buy an 07 if they came with rear lights like that. But over all i like the 07 alot and it doesnt look much different than the E53. I think thats one reason why they relocated the exhaust pipes. Because it looks so much like the E53 BMW wanted something very obvious like the new tailpipe locations to differentiate the 2.
