Another Pic - From a Reliable Source
 

Bild is Germany's largest periodical, and though they are considered the "NY Post" of Germany, this is nonetheless a pretty good source of info.

According to them, the new X5 will be longer and it WILL have a third-row seat... let's hope it's an option. :tsk:

here is the linky. Click on the picture for other pics of upcoming BMWs.

NY Post of Deutschland or not, I think they hit the nail RIGHT on the head with that pic. Thats exactly the way I thought it would look..A little e90, with the same traditional overall shape. Nothing TOO drastic. In any case Im in love already...

And third row seats are not the end of the world!! :rofl: Maybe Im just getting old...:damn:

Notice the Big shoes?

well, if that pic is indeed accurate, I like it. :thumbup:

oh yeah, by the way... the picture capture also says that the car will be introduced in August and start selling in March -- though I assume that is for Europe...? :dunno:

That follows the same track as most releases, well at least here in the UK...I cant believe there hasnt been a concrete leak of this thing yet...But I DO think this is it...

I believe that does look like the new X5 in its final form.7 seater or not ,the exterior looks the same size as the E53.I like it!

I think the new X5 will be sold in the states before Europe...afterall it is build here (so I've heard)..but what do I know...don't even own a X5 yet...jsut ordered it and will be getting it in a week...now that I see the images of the new X5, I am wondering if I should have waited?

Looks just like a bigger X3. It is very "evolutional" looking...that's a good thing since the current model is still deemed as the best looking SUV/SAV out there by most people and press. But I'm somewhat disappointed that it lost all the subtle muscular bulges around the fenders that the current model has. On the other hand, I'm glad to see that it didn't get "bangled up".

Good find...thanks for sharing :thumbup:

It looks good. It has more X3 looks then the current X5, lets hope it comes w/ a lot of technological upgrades as well. :D
