I still think this is not the X5 M because the roof rails are ugly, and it would have something like the M Sport roof rails.

Did you see the wheels in post 90 of above linked thread? Those are M wheels.

My bad. Im typing before going through 145 posts.

And the wheels in post 90 are ok. I would personally prefer something like the 227M or the 215, but I could live with those.

I have a friend who works for BMW NA and he said the new X5 M will have the same front of the X6 M. This is not new since BMW did the same with the M3 sedan borrowing the front from the coupe. Therefore I do not believe this design is accurate.

This chop is not accurate at all. The headlights are also supposed to be like X6. You can see in new FEP shots in the X5 M spy shots thread.
