Have You Seen This Before ?
 

Yes. saw yesterday. Still lot of tape to hide the lines.

i still waiting for this car

There's your E70. I don't see a whole lot more they can do to differentiate it from that pic.

Not bad. I was just thinking yesterday how the E90 has grown on me. This will have the same effect in a couple months after release.

JV

look at the backdoor? it does not open seperatly? or is it like in the 3 series touring, where only the window opens without the door?

:tsk:

Wow the proportions are stunning !

Looking good!

hello everybody ,

is it's possible to remove the tape on the side of the car and the mirror with photoshop ?

is there any official announcement when it will be in the market ?

Not official but dealers already know the date. Check this thread

Now I am totally stoked with my 2006, I don't like this one at all as of now

I dont know who it was in another thread that mentioned this, but Im really starting to think its true...I think that is an X3. Im wondering if all these "sightings" are just a decoy...It wouldnt surprise me in the least, and the "uncovered" pics of this same truck in another thread, look way to small to be an X5...I have a feeling that the e70 will look NOTHING like this..Of course, Ive been wrong MANY times before...:rolleyes:

Maybe because they have automatic opening and closing option?

This could be true. I´ll be missing the old solution :rolleyes:

http://cwimg.us.publicus.com/apps/pb...ef=AR&MaxW=490Look at how large it is next to the Z4. Notice how large the wheels are and how wide the dash is. It's the new X5:trustme:

I really do not like the new look of all these BMWs. I guess I'm not a big fan of Chris Bangle designs. I think the Z3 looked way better than the Z4 and I like last year's 3 series better than the new one. Of course the new ones are better cars due to their better technology. But the old ones look better. I'm glad I'm getting the 06 X5 and I did not wait for the new one. :)

I like it! Reminds me of my 2006 330i....elevated. I hope the rear hatch is one piece.

You might be right on this....it definitly reminds me of my 2006 330i. I hope is the new X3. I like it, and it will cost less then the new X5.

:o Theres no BMW logo! mabye its not a BMW!, jk :p

You know what, after I seen spyshots floating around the web, and then I look at this, Its really changed my mind, It's going to look amazing.

The funny thing my friend keeps saying though, haha he says the current model looks so perfect, what ever they change will f*ck it up.

That's the E70 X5.

Facelifted X3 will get only few exterior changes: new grille, new bumpers, CELIS LED in headlights & rearlights (angel eyes & optical glass strips).
Some interior changes: better materials, more wood / alu trims.
New engines & some chasis settings changes.
Coming in the fall 2006 - as MY 2007.

Here are the spy pics of the facelifted X3:

The facelifted X3 will look just like this one:

Just compare the X3 spy pics with the ones of E70 X5, and you'll see the difference.

Im not liking the X3's, whens the NEW model of that due? not the refreshment but the redesigned?

2010

it will be in the market by november for america only or world wide ?

US will get E70 X5 in late November / early December.

Other markets will get it in early 2007.

Looks like the hood is from the current X5, especially the centre of the hood and the kidney grills. I'm not fond of the rounded edges on the headlights. If it looks anything like the red one on LeMansX5's page, I will not be lining up to buy one!

i still cannot understand how in the world they will be able to fit a third row into ANY of the spy shot vehicles i've seen. anybody?

May be they also have a long wheel base version.:dunno:

There will be no LWB X5.

Two additional (optional) folding seats (3rd row) are strictly provisional.

i've heared that it will be two engines only? ( 4.8 and 3.0 )


why they cancelled 4.4 ?!!

BMW upgraded the V8 engine. The 4.4L Valvetronic engine is history in the U.S. My guess is that the new X5 will get the 4.8L Valvetronic engine as is from the 550i which is rated at 360 @ 6300 RPM and 360 ft-lbs @ 3400 RPM.

That's 5 more ponies and 9 less ft-lbs than the 4.8is with what I'm guessing would be the same MPG rating of the old 4.4i.

Now if they could hook it up to a 6 speed manual or a 7 speed SMG...
