I really don't like the new bumper design. If I had to get one, it'd be a dark color so people cannot differentiate between the body or bumper grills.

Why are they changing bumpers to big X6 like intakes?

It has the old CCC iDrive controller. I thought the 2010 model was going to have the new CIC iDrive, like the X5M and X6M. :dunno:
2010 is getting new controller. This is just a test mule.

The marketing gang pushed the styling gang around and,
dug into the parts bin, imo. Cost containment, but the
ad copy shills can call it a face lift, tack on 3% and
get a pat on the back, imo.

If that is the case then the Finance guys should push that they drop the I6, V8 and crossover the TT X6 engines to the X5 to keep costs down. Why have 4 engines when you can have 2 ? We will see I guess.

Nice try, but don't think so MD. They are still diferent from X6 as the headlights corners are not side/upwards pointy.

I think the sheet metal screws covered in duct tape give it a real manly look :cool:

Seriously, these latest pics don't seem right. On this mule it looks like they literally used sheet metal screws and duct tape to graft an X6 style bumper onto an X5 by slicing the lower part of the X5's fender off. So it is unlikely they are testing final fitment, fasteners, rattles, etc. What exactly are they testing with this mule -- drag coefficient, cooling, etc.?

X5 Facelift
 
Just received this info from some local contacts.The biggest exterior change for the coming X5 Facelift....short of the X6 front and rear bumpers will be the rear hatch.BMW will go to a single piece rear hatch.No more two piece unit.BMW is very much into value engineering...given the auto sales meltdown.The 2 piece rear hatch complicated the build process and I'm not sure many customers will miss the smaller lower piece.The TTI6 gasoline engine will be an option on the facelift X5.Not sure about the V8 engine lineup....more to follow.Thanks!

wow finally the TTI6.

about the rear hatch = minivan here we come!

BMW is moving more and more towards crossover image for X5.
