Weird, mine doesn't have that. Must have come out after my '07 model...

When you start going from six-speed to eight-speed transmissions, I think you are reaching the area of diminishing returns. But in any case, I don't think I would want the first year of production of an X5 with a major redesign of the automatic transmission.

I thought I might be disappointed with my purchase of a 2010, knowing the 2011 was coming-out in the Spring. Now that the changes are out, I'm rather happy with my decision to get the 2010 Diesel model at a good price. If I had gone for the gasoline version, I probably would be a bit disappointed, as the 3.0 gasoline engine was a bit on the low HP side for a 5,000 lb vehicle. The extra HP on the new 3.0 should be a noticeable improvement.

It looks like they actually dropped the base MSRP of the lowest-priced model. I wonder if they "decontented" it at all and are playing with option pricing, or if they just decided they needed a lower entry point.

that M-package is nice, just hope they've got a heated steering wheel in the M-pack now!

<edit> checked out on the German site, still no heated steering wheel in the m-pack.......boooo!

I love the front on the sport package....fingers crossed that the pricing does not go too crazy on these new "revamped' packages......Otherwise I guess Ill go fpr the sport activity in black.....it will somewhat match the bumpers....plus Ill be able to afford the other goodies I need like comfort seats...
