Because i think there are alot of people out there that want an X5 badly but cant for the reason that all though they dont need an outright offroader they need something a little tougher than the current X5. Because for some people its not for fun t is a neccesity for where they live. Just my opinion

Maybe somebody in Spartanburg is listening--but the key is "option". In Australia, Iceland, Costa Rica, Brasil, VZ, South Africa, Morocco etc...a skid-plated low range HD tranny cooled X5 with 2" of lift might do very well but but in the USA we mght be mistaken as posers...everytime I've landed somewhere with an unpaved airstrip it seems like Nissan Patrols and Toyota Landcruisers (and the A/C never works) rule the roost...but, I say, why not build an X5de---as in diesel con cajones?
