You think it's a rip off? Adaptive Drive is $3,500, so for $3,000 you get body colored front and rear M-style bumpers (M exterior parts in body color), 19" M-style wheels, shadowline exterior trim, increased top speed limiter, BMW individual roof rails in aluminum and anthracite headliner. Sounds like a good deal to me!

I like that they finally un-flipped the blinkers. They should be on the top of the tail light, not the bottom.

i know what you are saying. just taking adaptive drive out of regular sports package, now making this as individual 3k option, that should have been part of sports package and has been since x5 was made is a shameful scam imho, by bmw. It is like splitting single hair into multiple strands and charging for each split end lol

Can anyone guess how many flavors the facelift X5 is coming in? ;)

X5M
X5 xDrive35i
X5 xDrive50i
X5 xDrive35d

Am I close?

No X5 sDrive60i LeMans V12???

Sorry...was hoping...

+
X5 xDrive40d w/ tri-turbo diesel

So close! Off by 1!
Really, a tri-turbo diesel in the spring upon launch? Or later next year?

The spy shots of tri-turbo diesel are in this thread and its supposed to be shown at Detroit in few days. Press release should be out anytime now.

Thanx, Pal....I'd seen those but in the past the "spy" stuff isnt always reliable. Just didnt know if corporate had leaked any data on next "upgrade". My '08 lease expires next Nov and I'm trying to decide if I should extend a year. If they would only improve the 'tronics (Idrive) and have a normally aspirated twin turbo.......I'd be happy as a clam!:excited::excited:
