Any regrets about getting a 2008 X5 since the X6 is right around the corner?

I haven't been following that closely - will the X6 have the 3.0 TT petrol (and coming to the X5)? Can you speculate at what premium?

You are right, they wouldn't build it if there wasn't a market.

1-series is revival of 2002. And watch out for 1-series tii as reincarnation of 2002tii. Big market for 1-series in Europe. Came to US as coupe by popular demand. What is shocking is price difference between 135 and 3-series. Most 135i buyers are buying it as an entry level M. Here's some craziness.

Premium on X6 with TT or X5 with TT?

I think the X6 looks a little bit like the old Pacer.

X5 TT. Basically do you know if it comes to the X5? And how much more will they be charging over the X5 3.0si.

It will be more like what happened to 530i replaced with 535xi in US and similar price increase. Base X5 will become 3.5si TT.

for some of us, who need the 3rd row, the X6 is not practical at all.... besides, if I wanted a sports coupe, I'd buy and M3 or 335i.....

And what about the pano roof, given the X6's contours will this be an option, or will X6 just have a standard sunroof, or maybe full glass roof...??

LeMans you changed your bio pic....you've had your other one for ages!!

Scott already covered about roof in X6 pics and release thread.

Its time for change, the new BMW kidney grill look for 2008, starting with F01.
