The front end from A pillar forward, almost looks like it belongs on a bigger/different car...X5 Meister's comment about it looking like an X1 on 'roids is right on, imo. The techno gang will probably like it; it won't get on my short list even if I hit a mini-lottery. Not envious just due to the fact that I doubt I will ever get one, but I am going down to the garage and gaze at my old, low tech 2001 E53, and reflect on how they hit a home run once, way back when... GL, mD

I've owned the past 2 generations of X5's, and I find the front of the new X5 atrocious. It is a hodge podge of competing elements, and I don't like it at all. The side/fender lines are ugly too. The seats look downscale. I don't like BMW's non-moving, pod style navigation screen either. I'll reserve my final comment on the new X5 until I see the vehicle in person, but my initial impression is not good.

I really, really, really, really love my E70, but after seeing the final finished product of the F15, I think it's a winner and I might just get convinced to upgrade.

Is the F15 based on the F10 chassis, as predicted, or is it an updated E70? The dimensions are awfully close, and I was expecting a longer wheelbase, more rear seat legroom, and so on. Maybe they decided that the F10's porky chassis was not a good base?
Also, anyone know how the EU luggage capacity translates to US? Just converting liters to cubic feet doesn't work, as it comes up smaller. |

I prefer the F15 over the E70, but I won't be buying one, as my E70 was just too downright unreliable.

The sideview is horrendous. The rear is not as bad as I was expecting - it grows on you if you see it in the video from various angles. The front is both aggressive and busy. Overall I would say it's just ok - the X1 shoe-shape which this resembles is not a favorable look. They needed to do better with the rear quarter.
Why am I seeing 2 different types of shifters? That last video shows the E70 shifter but the pics show the new flatter-top one. I'm guessing the pics show the actual one.

Jury's still out....
I'd like to know if I can retrofit the lower rockers from the M Sport so that I stop getting stone chips in front of the rear wheels.

Individual X5
The refined BMW Individual paintwork in Ruby Black and Pyrite Brown metallic convincingly prove the point. The latter, inspired by the precious mineral pyrite, reveals gold-coloured pigments when light falls on its surface, giving the BMW X5 an impressive character. With the BMW Individual paint finish in Ruby Black metallic, a powerful reflective quality and an intense shine seem to emerge from myriad ruby crystals. For a look of true sporting elegance, there are also BMW Individual wheels in a V-spoke design. Their finely structured, progressive form, laser-engraved with the BMW Individual signature, sets an exclusive accent. The interior of the new BMW Individual X5, featuring materials of unparalleled quality and a unique sense of space, is another exceptional proposition. Of particular note is the fine-grain Merino leather in the colours Amaro Brown and Criollo Brown. With this, only the most carefully selected, incomparably supple leather undergoes a meticulous tanning process. The special character of BMW Individual leather can be found in the fine detail, too. The seams and decorative piping are made in the finest leather and appeal with their contrasting colours while, yet again, demonstrating hand-crafted perfection. The highest expression of craftsmanship can also be seen in the exclusive BMW Individual interior trims for the new BMW X5. Whether it is Piano Black or Sen Light Brown, both trims captivate with their masterful, intricate finishing. They also perfectly complement the interior of the BMW Individual X5. And prove that true exclusivity is found in the detail. |

It's that new X1 or they just made facelifting of X1?
