Third Gen. F15 X5: Spy Shots, CGIs and Discussion Thread

[rh71]

I pictured it with more concept-like contours. Instead it looks pretty bland in that dept. Just a long wagon worse than the current gen. Or maybe it's just really good camo.

Really good camo.

WHY WHY WHY must everything get bigger???? May have to go to the soon to be redesigned and hugely unreliable Range Rover Sport... This reminds me of a MB GL family wagon with a hood off the F10 5 series.

I truly hope its fantastic camo.

The lines looks similar to the recently updated X3. Though you can just tell it'll have the squarer looking Halo DRLs which seems to be the new look for BMWs soon to be released (like the new 3 Series).

It looks like there is a little more room between the rear tire and the back of the car compared to the E70.

Opening for the Front kidney grills look enormous compared to E70.

Hood looks like it is a little more "bowed" as it bends from windshield to front bumper (a la the F30).

Getting excited. Thanks so much for posting these photos.

I think the E70 is the best looking SUV on the road today (as does my car-obsessed daughter) and I am hopeful that the F15 will continue that tradition.

Also excited to update the technology to the new (3-series, 6-series) capabilities (HUD, iDrive screen, start/stop technology, lighter weight(?))

Thanks again for the photos.

I know it's concealed but if it comes close to the length/wheelbase that shows there it will be just another label SUV looking thing and I would not look to upgrade from current body style. Just damn ugly to me!!

You are welcome. The front kidney grills are wider, but not as tall as shown in pics as their is camo. It will still hold the best looking title, per some inside sources.

X5 will have headlights to kidney grill integration as below. Another new BMW design signature.

Fingers crossed - please let it have a second row captain chair option with a real third row!!

Thanks for posting... Honestly, I dont like shape & size of the side mirrors - too small to my liking. I really like the size/shape of those on E70 - it even allows me to install those small round concave blind spot disks.

I wish we could get the euro aspheric glass. MUCH better than our 'objects are closer' crap.
