X5 Facelift Pics and updates( w/ Leaked Official pics)

Are they possibly keeping us in the dark because the ttv8 represents a substantial power boost over the na 4.8? Thus leaving buyers like us with no desire to buy a 2010, whereas someone cosidering a 6 cylinder may not care 1 turbo or two. Either way this is dirty haha I want to know that my tt will be ready may 1st or ill be forced to move south and get an m3 convertible! Haha jk but seriously

I wouldn't be surprised if you were right.

My theory is that BMW is trying to hold back as much info as posisble against the competition. Saw on Edmunds's Inside line that Mercedes is working on turbos for their ML's. The later the information comes out, the less time the competition will have to adjust to it.

At least they definitely confirm the new model will go into production in April. Really annoying about not confirming anything else though. I can still refuse collection of my X5 and still haven't 100% made up my mind what to do...

Hmm I was hoping for something more aggressive as well but maybe I will prefer the changes in person, as I tend to find with most cars these days. Fog lights? Idk if I like that placement but hey where else I guess Anyone know if they will be the same color as the angel eyes, I hate how my current fogs are yellowish. Also any word on potential new colors interior or exterior? I think I will stick with AW but who knows if something looks cool Some new wood trims would be cool as well. Will this lci include the shifter from the next gen 5 series? Sorry for the bombardment of random questions...Im one curious dude

Thanks leMansX5 and PalPay for the photos.

Is that black bumper strip (in the front) going to be color painted on the production units or will it just stay like that? It that just tape?

The placement of the front foglights are pretty ugly.

The new rear bumper needs to be completely color painted too.

Fog lights look a little funny! Maybe its the black tape throwing the look off.
