There was also mention that the front grills will be bigger and that the front headlights will blend into the grills like the new 3 series.
Anyways interesting to follow its progress..  |
From what I have heard, there will be lot of new "first time in BMW" tech introduced with F15 X5(remember the "new shifter" introduced in E70 X5), which will then be incorporated into other models.
I will not be surprised if they introduced a new engine, rather than S63 Tü, as S63 Tü will be few years old by the time X5 M and the next X6 M will be released. Next X6 M will again share the same engine as F10 X5 M.
