Not until spring 2010.

Regarding the park distance control (PDC) sensors: I see only 2 sensors on the front bumper close to the license plate. If you look close, does anyone see the other ones on the lower bumper (black area) in the corner?

Also disliking the turn signals on the mirror..could they make them any bigger?

I see the sensors in the corners, none near the license plate. I think the mirror signals are bogus as they are not symmetrical, probably just there to throw everyone off.

While I love the way the X5-M looks and see a lot of resemblance to the front end, i hate the way this looks....I see a lot of work to clean this up!

It's getting close to the Sep available build dates. Is there any info yet on 2010s?

^^My info is that facelift will be a 2011 model and out by spring 2010.

Any confirmation it will have the around-view monitor? I believe I read the M will have it so it can't be too far off in these guys.

I've been driving my old SUV for a couple weeks since my X has been in the shop and it made me realize that the X's rear visibility is a lot more limited. Cameras definitely help in slow-parking maneuvers.

I am not sure about the around-view but there will be some spill over of tech from new 7. The rear view cam in new 7 is good.

I sure hope so. If the X5 35d I just ordered to be built shows up looking like the latest spy photos, BMW will get to keep my non-refundable deposit :( Because I'll be running to the nearest MB dealer with check in hand.

BTW if I wanted a SUV with gargantuan openings in the bumper I'd have purchased a Cayenne.
