I really hope the new X5 doesn't grow much larger. I mean this E70 is pretty large and I wouldn't be interested in anything larger as this is border line large suv class.

Do you know that the new X3 is almost as big as E53 X5 and faster than any E53 X5? And if X3 is bigger there is an X1. http://www.xoutpost.com/790268-post9.html |

Bring it!
Just went through this analysis today. We borrowed a GL for the day to see if we could make the switch to allow a bit more room for the third row for our kids. We just couldn't bring ourselves to do it. MB is nice, but doesn't compare to the X5. So we ordered an almost identical '11 to replace our '10 with 20k miles. http://cache.bmwusa.com/cosy.arox?po...60,S0761,S0775

I agree that bigger is not better. BMW should not try to do a "people mover" a la MB GLs which are really Chrysler mini vans. For us, the E70 is perfect size. I don't think an X3 has the same qualities as the X5, just as a 328 is not a substitute for a 528. Like the idea of lighter and possibly hybrid, if it has the performance. Don't try to be all things to all people. Do what you do well. For BMW, that means superb performance and high quality.

, where did you hear that? I would like to throw out my shenanigans card on that one. (I don't know for a FACT that you are wrong though, just seems strange to me)

I'm glad to see that Chrysler got a few good things from the Mercedes debacle, like the E-class architecture for the 300/Charger (even if older) and the ML-class architecture for the GC/Durango. Fiat looks to be making a real effort to improve the vehicles, and hopefully they'll recover from the terrible "Daimler Years" that set them back and nearly killed them. |

I'd be in favor of a weight savings, not too sure if I like that design.

The next gen 3-series and 2012 6-series coupe come with the new shape of angel eyes. We have seen these on Gran coupe concept(my signature pic). Next X5 is expected to have these angel eyes.
