Any ideas on the wheelbase and length of the new X5? Both appear longer than the current model, but it's hard to tell, and may be more a factor of the body lines and camo than anything else. The F10 has a slightly longer wheelbase, around 1.5" I think, so perhaps that is it.

One thing that I like is that it looks a bit less chunky than the E70, especially around the rear quarters. There appears to be a taper, whether real or just a visual trick, towards the rear of the car. On my E70 I still marvel at how big it can seem from the rear, but how small the cargo space is by comparison. It's like there must be lots of extra space in the rear quarters!
