Thanks for the info. Doing a quick build on bmwusa.com makes it look like the F15 will be around $2000 less than a comparably equipped E70, given that nav, apps, etc. are now standard, as they should...

Wow, I had a completely different reaction to most of the posters. These are by far the best "real world" pictures of the F15, and I like most everything except for the wheels. The side vents look...

Wow, I didn't notice the dot before your post, now I can't take my eyes off of it! :yikes:

Your camera guess sounds plausible, and perhaps it completes the surround/top/side view, which is missing...

I wish they'd offer the cloth/Alcantara/whatever seats in the USA on the F15. Those look nice, and allow another degree of personalization.

I use it every time I pull into my garage, when pulling into parking spaces, etc. I have the side cameras and love the overhead "video game" display.

I read on another thread/site that it's the PDC button. Should be easier to find than on the E70, but the green color is ugly.

The lighting package is interesting, as are the exclusive colors and interiors. I hope that BMW offers all of the options in the US this time, rather than a subset as with the E70. There is no good...

It's tough to say without seeing it, but the more upright rear window should yield more usable cargo space. The E70 holds less than it would seem because of the angle of the rear window, and closing...

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...

If the speculation that the F15 will be lighter is true, the newer engine plus the 8 speed transmission should provide better performance and MPG. I'd love to see them shave a lot of weight off, as...

I'll second the need to reveal. The level of secrecy this close to production is silly.

I have to disagree about the dash, and feel it looks much better than the plank in the E70. It looks fittingly upscale, while the E70 looks like a scaled-up E90. Given how frequently BMW designs are...

The angle of the shot is odd, but I like what I can see of the interior. The extra depth and sculpting is a nice departure from the E70 dash, which is not bad, but is looking dated and chunky. I...

Delayed is fine by me, and it would probably be late 2014 before I'd be looking. If they don't offer a diesel, I too will look elsewhere.

I hope that's not the case, and is a backwards move by BMW. Hopefully they're not trying to replace the diesel X5 with a silly hybrid.
