According to Altavista Babelfish, the German text that goes along with the picture translates to the following:

"The old X5 goes rather grobschlaechtig into running. There a car built with the masses of a rolling military tower. Other Crossover vehicles bend in the meantime more to length and elegance. A trend of the BMWS will reach in the year 2007. Then is conclusion with the monster Look, then sportyness is injected. More elongated and more dynamically it is to become, beside the new Q7 looks the X5 then nearly delicate out."

Translation foreign websites is always good for a chuckle...

I posted these pics back in Nov 05. Check this thread.

The front end looks excellent minus the headlights....as far as the rest it is hard to tell. I would want to know what BMW is including as standard options though....

What does it say about that X6? I want one of those! Does BMW have plans to make that???

X6
Here SUV, Coupé and sports cars are crossed. Came out no moebelwagen for the elevated conditions like the r-class, but a Fun mobile on strength and glory sets. A flat Coupédach prevents the SUV typical high interior and a "King OF The Road" seating position. Powerful wheel housings, broad Schweller and a high clearance are added for the all wheel sportsman. Without this understructure "greases" the X6 from the mass of existing and planned Coupés would also hardly stand out.

For German customers the form language might be at least habituation needy, which American market should itself show more sensitively to this "Design Kicks". Beside the enormous underbody, above all the powerful grill falls in the eye. Rapidly slit eyes and the form of the rear headlights show that one is ready with BMW, the forms radically "anzuspitzen". Important detail are the "discharge opening bags" for the exhaust system. In the future one will have itself to adjust generally to the fact that the honest final pipe disappears, so that the exhaust gases can be led form with perfection by the plastic.

And for the exotic sporty guys:

Z9
2008 come from BMW the large child surprise. Little holds fats tires, enormous air intakes and sharp-edged forms, the Z8 roadster from formal restraint.

Understatement does not have to signal the projectile also, in it a drilled out V10 from the M5/M6 with up to 550 HP is used or as entrance version over 400 HP of strong V8. With the installation BMW new ways wants to go, at present a central engine concept is favored.

I dunno. It is labled as the Z9 Roadster on the site VFI-X5 posted. But now I am noticing that I improperly labled it the X9 in my post.

I think this would be a great lookin hardtop, but I doubt we'd see anything of the sort .
