It sounds sweet :driver:

nice! thanks for posting that!

Awesome!! It sounds sweet too :thumbup:

Nice engine note!! Do not like the rear end though....jmo

It looks like it handles good on the curves.
It must have a lower suspension and stiffer shocks in order to take them at the speeds it does.
It kept the porsche back for a little while and then the porsche just passed it.
BTW what you guys think of the wheels, what size???
Good post.

Re the wheels,its difficult to make out their size!They seem similar to style 177 and judging by the tyrewall they are probably 19"s?
Love that V8 growl!

thjat engine sounds MEAN!

but im not digging the new body style.

the front grill for example looks like the took it off a ford excursion

Very cool thanks!

Sounds fantastic! It's a lot longer! I dunno, at some angles I thought it looked good, at some it looked horrid. It'll probably look very different in person. Let's hope for the best. Thanks!

loved it good video

Man that Porsche smoked it :bow: , nice ride but I hope thats just molding on the back to conceal the X5 b/c IMO its fugly. Rest of it is hot, expecially that engine roar.

I'm using Firefox, and trying to view the link. It says I'm missing a plug-in, any tips?

I'm amazed at the very little body roll exhibited by that new X5 at the turns.

Superb video...love the engine notes, but it looks a little weak in terms of style...still lacks the 'sharp edge' and 'muscular angle' to the front and rear... :-(

Nice video!! Thanks for posting that!! Not much body roll, I agree........sounds good too.

I have the Mediaplayer Connectivity and it opens up in any external video player. This way, you can dl stream too :evil:

Best tip for FF users is to use IE.:)

I'm sitting here toggling between Dblock2151's new pix of his rims mounted on his blue X5 (an awesome ride by the way) and and a side view of the new X5 at the 'Ring. The back end of the new X5 looks awfully chunky. The rear pilar above the tail lights is thicker than the present gen X5 and it doesn't look like camouflage cladding from what I can see. The thin pillars is one of the design features that I really liked about our E53's. The new X5's may run like hell, but I'm definitely not salivating over it.

Cool!

COOL!!! love that engine sound.

Don't worry about the details, that was still heavily camo'd. I doubt if a single body panel below the windows didn't have a piece of plastic covering it up, including the front and rear. The only thing you can judge from that is the overall dimensions and the look of the greenhouse. Still doesn't look big enough to hold a 3rd row imo, as has been rumored.

I doubt it will be anything larger than the Volvo XC-90, their 3rd row can hardly fit a small child and is not very easy to get back there. Most the 07+ X5 buyers will probably not even use their 3rd row, its a nice marketing gimic but no practicle - if you need that many seats buy the dreaded minivan.
