From what I hear is that BMW's M-sport packs(optional) in future will also come with some power boost/ engine upgrade and not just cosmetic stuff.

WOW. Thanks for providing yet another great reason to get a 2009 X5 before they go out of production.

Facelift is not coming till 2011 model. BMW shows official facelift pics 2-3 months before actual release. We have not seen any official pics yet.

Thanks for the clarification.

So now I can go back to a mild case of 2009 "buyer's regret" hoping that not too many things change for the better in the 2010 model.

The 2010 NA ordering specs have leaked out but the X5 and X6 (non-M) are missing. Something is going on ....

Nobody pointed that the fog lights went missing on the latest pics. So far we have seen 3 different designs on facelift test mules. 2 with different front bumper designs and this one with no fog lights. Go figure....

BMW engineers after testing in Death valley:
1st: Hey! the TT engine gets very hot, any ideas how we can keep it cool?
2nd: Get rid of those f#%^ing fog lights.
