Some last minute spy shots before we see the real thing this week.
Notice the side ///M gill is exposed.

Looks like they may have special BMW M badges on the x5 M as they still have them cover over front & rear!

Nice. Thanks for the pics.

They got rid of the side turning marker altogether or is it in the sills (that would be tres cool)? Not feeling that half-fender flare up front. Like the X6-style lamp assembly. The whole front reminds me a lot of the Cayenne now - just very... bold rather than aggressive. I guess we know why it has those huge intakes on the Cayenne too. I know the exhaust is similar to other M exhausts, but it could be better on a large SUV. Hopefully the finished product will have improvements.

I agree. :popcorn:

Those flares will most definitely be body color on the final product

uuummmm :mmm:

I know price was previously discussed but is it really going to be a 100k SUV?

^^^ very likely

There goes my hope of owning one ....
