yeah good post , thankfully it doesnt make my 06 look that old .

Whats the big red thing on the back window? Is that a brake light? :dunno:

Supplemental restraint system for the 3rd row seat? :rofl:

Welcome, and thanks for the pic!

Interesting choice of tailights; if you look at it from the rear bumper up, it looks just like the e46 2002+ wagon.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Or, maybe the target for those poor midgets or,
the mother-in-law, packed
in the potential "3rd row"?! :)

Some kind of red tape thingy to hide the curve in glass on sides. To absorb the new length of X5 the d-pillar is bigger and the rear glass is curvy on sides. That's my guess.;)

Hmmm.....Thats a pretty darn good guess! Geez, what a show-off..:tsk:

:rofl: :rofl:

Are these 2 separate X5's in the pix? One has a black gas cap lid, the other doesn't.

I also noticed that. They have to be separate X5s.

Definitely different, the blackout around the taillight differs as well. One touches the bumper, one does not.
