> Why do they have to drive about testing new bumpers? doesn't make sense to me. Is it just to tease us or are they testing new technology?


Airflow and engine temp.

They had issues with the twin turbo in the 3-series, they probably don't want to repeat the mistake on the X5.

^ Herr that looks like a nice ride - did you ever post pics for it?

I also agree on the look. The facelift so far hasn't been much of anything and the large intakes are actually a step back (though necessary) in my opinion. There have been many vehicles that take a huge step back in terms of looks for the next generation (the Lexus RX jumps to mind). I'm also VERY satisfied with the E70's looks w/ aerokit as is. I think it'll be tough to top when it's time for an overhaul in... what 2014?

Here are two older photos, before I had the front side windows tinted to match the rear side windows. Sorry for the crap quality...


It is essentially the same config (sapphire black, aero, ferric gray 214's) as other members in this forum. It is full option except 3rd row seat and satellite radio and has a hardwired Escort 9500ix. I am pretty happy with it except for some jerkiness of the 6-AT and interior rattles.

Regarding the park distance control (PDC) sensors: I see only 2 sensors on the front bumper close to the license plate. If you look close, does anyone see the other ones on the lower bumper (black area) in the corner?

Also disliking the turn signals on the mirror..could they make them any bigger?

/cringe @ the looks of the fogs + vents together.

I'm going to be jealous of the TT engines, but function over form on this one FTL.
