2010 X5: Pricing, Anniversary edition and other new stuff

[juanvaldez]

Hello friends,

I am confused by the 2010 X5 offering now and was wondering if you all can help. How many different models of X5 will be available for the 2010 MY? Do I have it correct with the following:

6 cylinder gas model
8 cylinder gas model
diesel version
M gas version

Will there be 4 different X5 models available for 2010? Or will the M version replace the current 8-cylinder version? And now is there also going to be some anniversary flavor? Confused because I am planning to get a 2010 X5, but want to know what my options are.

Thanks!

There will be 4 models you mentioned plus the anniversary edition which will be very limited production. ///M version is NOT replacing anything. It is in addition to others.

I'm confused with the specs on the 2010/2011 engines and the release dates...

I see the engine changes for the X6, some say X5 6 cylinder gas will be updated too but not sure from the press release...any ideas? If so, is it available in the 2010 or 2011 LCI?

Also, the 2010's order date was some time this fall for Oct/Nov delivery? Is that still true? Would that include the 10th Anniversary Edition model as well?

There was a post about the 2011 LCI being spring of 2010 - which is VERY close to the 2010 release date - is that possible?

OK - hope that makes sense...cause I've totally confused myself Help a newbie out...trying to figure out if I should by the '10 or if the '11 and if they'll be coming out with the bigger diesel/gas a few months after...should I wait for that.

Cheers in advance.

Will the X5 be getting the same engine as the X6 50i?? If so I'm gonna hold off on getting one.

Actually if you look 2 threads down it's been mentioned for months that the TT engines from the X6 are rumored to go in the X5 starting this March as an 2011 facelift model. The spy pics show the large intake in the bumper--most likely a design for the TT engine.

The X6 50 is really a 4.4Liter Twin Turbo V8 engine which produces 490Hp which is 60Hp less than the X5M. That's a lot of ponies for me, hope they throw that engine on the X5.
