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

[Ag4.8]

Don't like the back. Front looks okay but not really much of a change other than odd placement of foglights. It's that TT V8 under the hood that makes me jealous.

The final product seen in person will be everyone's deciding factor--hard to decide just from spy pics.

ugh....wow, they messed up the front with the fog lights. The earlier mules looked much, much better IMO. Absolutely will not be upgrading my '08 or '10 for the '11 now. Even though the TT 5.0 is tempting (unless they remove those fogs), forget it. Glad I took advantage of the eco-credit for the '10 3.5d rather than waiting for this...

I HATTEEEE the back.....the fog lights don't look too good either....Now Im wondering if its worth it to get just for the TT4.4 or if I should take the NA 4.8 with sport package standing at my dealer....or if I should get the RR sport

Palbay, are the wheelwells black trimmed or are they body-colored?

Hard to tell on that silver car (page 46) if the trim around the wheel wells is black or if that darker appearance is due to the angle and shadows.

Really hope they don't have the wheelwells trimmed in black plastic. Audi had a station wagon with that and it looked awful, particularly against the lighter colors like silver or white.

Thanks in advance.

Wow, that looks different than the other photos I've seen. I like the front more and the rear less now.

I guess we all have to wait for the official press release and ordering guide to really know what it will look like....and then decide if we truly like, hate or are just 'OK' with it...I know I already love the engines based on more power.I think I need something more controllable to obsess over...like my cholesterol and weight...if I spend half as much time on that as I do on these forums Ill be 15 pounds lighter and 50 points lower on my cholesterol by the time we can order a new X-5 !

no leak information about when the press release will come???
