first of all nobody has seen the new x5, the spy pict are too disguised to guess what it will look like and the "photoshoped artist's renderings" floating around are guesses, nothing more. What we do know, is that the new x will be bigger and wider. I like the X the way it is now, I think the size is just right. I also don't feel that the styling has aged. I also think that most of the styling changes will be inside the car, not the outside. They will probably keep the x-drive technology the way it is now. The 3.0 will get the new 3.0 engine.
