My X5 4.8 lease is up in February of 2010. I'm wondering if the new X5 will be out relatively close to that. And will it get the twin turbo 3.0 & 4.4? Seems dumb on BMW's part to continue making the 4.8 when the 7 series, X6 both have the new twin turbo 4.4. I would think it only makes sense that engine is going in the new 5 series as well.

I just hope the new X5 does indeed have the 326hp 3.0TT & 449hp 4.4TT. That will give me so many options - a 6 cylinder that is probably as fast or faster than my 4.8, with better gas mileage and hopefully less of a payment, a super fast V8, for just a bit more, and, if I'm really crazy (and willing to give up the 3rd row) the almighty M version...
