X5 ///M spy shots, info and discussion thread

A phone keypad would be an interesting addition as long as it doesn't look like the one in the 7 series, which I always hated. As far as sunglasses holder is concerned, there are a few options that were discussed in a prior thread. Search around for it.

You might not like the phone key fob appearance in the 7 series but I can unequivocally tell you that everyone who gets in my car loves it..

It's actually quite awesome.

The eyeglasses fit fine in non-smoker ashtray.

Mine fly out all the time and they are not hidden enough for New York parking garage standards.

Agreed, it's a great idea. When I first saw it I immediately thought it was awesome and was hoping that the number keys (for selecting station presets) on my nav would function similarly when in telephone mode, but no luck. I just hate the way it looks, that's all.

Didn't see these posted, so I'll add them...

Those photos look like a standard 4.8i with some sort of after-market exhaust. Can't see any disguised side vents which all the 'test mules' had.

The pics X5 Meister posted are the missing pics from post # 26 dt Jan 2008 in this thread. So these are pics when they started testing and had not made body changes.

You are right again, LeMansX5!

The Geneva Auto Salon started just now. No one is talking about the X5 M Power! It was supposed to be launched at this motor show
