New to the Outpost
Im thinking of ordering one to spec over the next couple of days. Im leaning toward black on black or black on saphir and carbon yummy carbon or perhaps aluminum, im gonna have to consult my interior designer This is a cool little community! Very cordial and helpful. If I may, I d like to ask wether anyone can tell me about upcoming facelifts or design changes etc..What's the scoop with that? Id be a bit bummed if I got one and shortly after they put a nicer or newer looking design out there for me to lust after. I know the tuning aspect is early days still, but what can we expect power and sound wise (exhaust) for sensible money? any clues? That's it for now! Thanks all |

Welcome!
This is a very cool community. Eisenmann is working on an exhaust which should be out sometime this summer. There's a tuner out in CA that has gotten about 50hp at the wheels just from a tune. So I think there will be some options in the near future. Welcome again! _Toms

Welcome!
No face lift for X5///M for 2011. After that, who knows? Most BMW facelifts (if they occur) come during MY3 to MY4. I suspect there may be minor cosmetic changes over the next two of years, particularly wheel options and such, but the engine and chassis is new and will stick around for a while. The main facelift coming for 2011 will be for the non-M X5s which will be crossing over from naturally-aspirated to turbo land. Albeit nowhere near the power band of the M. As for tuning, I'm sure Dinan will easily and safely squeeze 620+ hp from it (if 555 is not enough for ya). It will be a good 10-12 months before that happens, they like to extensively test their mods before release. |

Thanks for the information and welcomes! You know, the only machine I have had extensive seat time in (in this category) is the G55. That thing is a beast when you mash the pedal. The exhaust sound is so intoxicating you wanna floor it again and again it is that deep and gutteral. However, it is far from a drivers car, even for an SUV. Youd think that over the 30 years of production they would have realized and corrected the major flaws it has (imo). The brake and gas pedals in, the 05 model atleast, are strange. The gas is further ahead of the brake pedal leaving you having to retract your leg and uncomfortably long way to hit the brake. The handling is absolutely miserable, and the G55 is so springy and bouncy a road trip becomes an all out nuisance after a couple hours. Forget the transmisssion. On the other hand the x5m is top everywhere the G is a flop (ok besides real offroading).
I love modern road tanks, and the G55 as well as the x5m surely pass for them. However, the x5m has the advantage of insane power combined with handling, which, for a drivers machine, is a must. All we need is to "correct" the exhaust sound and we're ready to rumble! Just rambling....! Last edited by x5m mofo; 01-19-2010 at 12:09 PM. |

If you order one, make sure you do Performance Center Delivery and pick it up at the plant is SC. It's a great experience.

Really? So when do the '11 models officially roll out, do you know? My dealer tells me delivery takes 5 weeks, so if I order now I suppose it will still be a '10. However, I would certainly hold off ordering a couple weeks if '11 will role out in March or April....!? |
