Same size as the E70 or a little bigger? Looks longer.

Is the timeline for that known? I've read BMW was interested in an X7 again, especially for the Chinese market, but have never seen concrete info on the X7 actually being put on a clear track to production. Has that changed?

I like it more and more as the camo is removed. I'm relieved that it appears to have more of a kink than a swoop on the rear side windows, although I have to admit that the X3 has grown on me. I wonder if it will be the same wheelbase as the F10, or longer? In any case the extra wheelbase and overall length should help with the rear legroom and cargo room, both of which the E70 needs more of. I know some will bemoan it getting bigger, but I agree with others that the X3 is now the "mid-size" SUV and the X5 needs to be a "big" SUV, even if it's not quite as big as a Yukon/Tahoe/Escalade, MB GL, etc. If they can improve on the interior space while reducing the mass, a'la the Cayenne, Touareg, Range Rover, etc., then they'll have a hit.

Is that the clear plastic tip of a turn signal on the side-view mirror?
