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

Got this iPhone pic though.

I've been staring at this image for a while now and this model appears to have the markings of the M-Sport pkg on the LCI with the larger wheels and the lower profile integrated roof racks. Hard to be sure of course with the tape on the rear bumper that does not show a cutout space and the silver exterior trim instead of shadowline.

Meiac09 did you see any more details like the front bumper that indicated if this indeed is the M-sport pkg and/or if it had the 5.0 badge?

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.

Trimmed in Black.Hard to say if the final,final production model will be trimmed in black or body colored.I'll keep an eye out for that.Thanks. PalBay

It had an xDrive35i badge on it, and the LCI lights, albeit in CAMO. They had the wider LED bars, and the blinkers were on top rather than the bottom. Thats all I saw. I was in traffic.

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

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

[sheikh36]

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 !
