BMW plans until 2008: From fun Ernst becomes
In the coming three years BMW brings a pallet of new models: Coupés, Cabrios, combinations, sports cars and jeep, all this the firm slogan "joy in driving" are obligated - under it a new X5 as well as additional 1er -, ér and ër variants.

The most important model renewal of the near future is the separation of the X5 - the second generation is to become more largely, stronger, more agiler and offer naturally even better road performances. The new edition of the successful road jeep starts at the end of of 2006 first in the USA, where the X5 is also further produced, and rolls at the beginning of 2007 to Europe.

Over that adds and approaches approximately ten centimeters so far 4.67 meters long Viertuerer thereby the measure of the new Mercedes m-class (4.78 meters). The X5 grows particularly within the range of the rear overhang and creates in such a way area for a clearly increased gepaeckabteil and - against surcharge - a third seat row concealable in the floor of the car. Find then place to filters persons, although completely in the back probably only children can make themselves it comfortable.

The all-wheel drive is refined. X-drive may be electronic net to stretch in the future still more closely, if at the individual wheels slip arises, in order to completely variable provide within milliseconds in longitudinal direction for the optimal kraftverteilung between the axles. The force river can be pursued on the screen in the cockpit - steered by i-drive.

The structure movements annoying with many jeeps are to be prevented in the X5 by means of Wankausgleich, which might serve the driving dynamics likewise like the optionally available active steering element. Headup display, night-vision device and a nahbereichsradar with extended Distronicfunktionen rank among the further posts on the surcharge list.
X5-Topversion without V12, but with V8-Turbo
For steam under the hood first the well-known six and eight-cylinder provide as Benziner and Diesel, it follow the three-litre twin turbo in the self fuze program. Coronation/culmination of the creation is not, as so far assumed, the strong twelve-cylinder from the 7er, because the adaptation would be too complex to the all-wheel drive. The point represents rather a turbo-loaded eight-cylinder, which is to bring it on over 400 HP. And from the coalition with GM and Daimler Daimler-Chrysler still another full hybrid will come out later.

In order to drive with the Diesel the high nitrogen oxide content out from the exhaust gas, BMW works in addition just as intensively as Mercedes on the new urea technology, briefly SCR mentioned, which might be series ripe however at the earliest 2008.

So for a long time Z4-Fans does not have to wait no more for the first fresh cell cure for its roadster. Already in the spring next yearly shows up the two-seater with modified front portion inclusive new fog headlights and special reflectors. Optical tricks help the tail to a more obliging/more pleasing appearance, the again arranged tail lamps exhibit now special light conductors.

Is more important, which happens under the sheet metal: The new Z4 roadster 3,0 SI brings it on 265 HP and 315 Newtonmeters starting from 2.500/min, the 2.5-Liter-Sechszylinder in two performance levels on 177 and 218 HP. Entrance variant is the two-litre four-cylinder 2.0i with 150 HP. All variants are combined in series with a six-course transmission, the six cylinder when desired also with a new sport mechanism, which has switching paddles at the steering wheel. For still more attention might the at the same time debuetierende m-version provide, which schnueffelt with powerful air intakes and deeply arranged kidneys directly over the road and sits down from the rear by four salient final pipes as well as a horizontal arranged diffuser in scene.

Under the hood a row six cylinder with 3,2 litres capacity, 343 HP as well as a torque of 365 Nm schlummert with 4.900/min. That is enough for an acceleration of zero on 100 km/h in five seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h, before electronics sets an end for driving. Soon however the M GmbH want the electronic chains against surcharge and completing a BMW driver training to blow up and depending upon model maximum speeds to 300 km/h to permit.

While the normal Z4 has an electromechanical power steering, the m-version bring along a hydraulic plant. A special high speed brake as well as a Sperrdifferenzial rank among the further characteristics of the sportiest Roadster version.

In the summer 2006 the Z4 gets then one on the roof - in form on the IAA Coupés, which is not only positioned against the Mercedes SLK, shown as study, but above all also against the new Porsche Cayman. Here therefore the high performance high speed concept of the old six cylinder m version comes to carrying. Besides there is the three-litre and 2,5-Liter-Sechszylinder.

The M6 Cabrio follows the well-known M6 Coupé in the summer 2006. The classical open more ér with material cap is however dead. But but there is a construction of supplier Edscha, which facilitates it to stow the structure away space-saving in the trunk starting from spring 2007 a Blechdach Cabrio with several segments -. BMW by the way starts the sales of this new series with the first six cylinder gasoline direct A splashes of the house.
more ér not only than Coupé Cabrio, but also than pure Coupé
From the conventional ér Coupé BMW does not move away nevertheless. Why? Because the sportily gesinnte Coupé driver attaches much importance to high twisting rigidity and an optimal weight per horsepower. He gets that starting from summer 2007 also in the classical M3, then with eight cylinder engine and somewhat more than 400 HP. The lightweight construction variant CSL is considered to M3 sedan and Touring as just as decided as the M3 Cabrio with somewhat more comfortable chassis tuning (2008), is still calculated.

Thus the last chapter of the BMW Neuheitenstory is not still long told. The four-door 1er end of 2006 the Zweituerer follows, one year later debuetiert the Cabrio with classical material stoffverdeck.

Then it becomes also time for the spacefunctional concept: an inside most variable Van with all-wheel drive as a competitor against the Mercedes r-class. In the year after a scarcely cut sport utility Vehicle in the Coupé Look follows with the X6.

To forget not: the start of the new mini in the winter 2006 as well as the combination version traveller, which is not to be expected however 2008 ago - that year, in which also the new supersportsman Z8 with aluminum Spaceframe and an again uprated ten-cylinder from the M6 is left by the pile.

Looks like the X5 got beaten by the ugly stick by Bangle. Everything else sounds cool, but the exterior in those pics looks horrible. Very similar looking to the current, but the rear looks like it slopes a lot more and the front headlights look strange.

Just going on the pics, it doesn't look tall enough. I'm sure it will be up close & live, but it's too Pacifica looking in the pics..........That's one of those where it's going to get my final judgement when I see it at the dealership..........

Thanks for posting the pics LeMansX5..............

If that is what it looks like...I like it ok. It really does not look much different than the current X5. It looks lower because it is a little longer..but overall..I like it.

looks like they did some exterior work to it, touchups here and there from the previous spy pics...honestly i like it besides the rear

Wow. Talk about mixed emotions...the front looks baD ASS!! The rear looks like shiiiiiit.

You know what? I like it! :thumbup:

It's a nice evolution without too much "bangle." Sold! :D

Juan

I like it too. Just enough "evolution", but definately not a "revolution".

Thanks for sharing!!

:thumbup: Looks pretty nice!

Looks almost the same in the back but without the dropping tail gate. Depending on the interior and the other bells and whistles it's good to go.

Are these official pics?

I think they are photoshoped pics.
Somebody borrowed the headlights and taillights from e90 3 series.

Well, I doubt that is a photohop job. It's from one of Germany's biggest and most respected car magazines (though I prefer AutoBild), and if you click the link, you'll see that this is the pic they are using for their front cover. I doubt they'd put a photochop on their front cover.

That the headlights have a resemblance to those on the 3er makes sense. It's all about "branding." BMW wants people to look at a car and KNOW it's a BMW (roundel or not). It's the "look" they're trying to achieve, I guess... Look at the 5 and 7- series.

Juan

Agree with Juan. They are using the pic on their cover.

:iagree: Looked like it got ass raped.

If these are official pics, they look really nice! :thumbup:
I feel bad because my 06 4.8is will look dated in a year. :(

ok in my book, as long as they fixed the Friggin' window regulators!!

Gonna have to wait for it to grow on me. Did'nt like the original when I first saw it, hence it was originally the wife's car. Sure grew on me in the end though! :thumbup:

My initial reaction when I saw those pics is that they're photoshoped. I think they might be. In the second pic, zoom in a little and look at where the rear seats are. They're exactly where they are right now. There is the same amount of room between them and the tailgate as now. I have no idea how there'd be a thrid row of seats back there.

It just seems like the photoshoped area is the windows and above to bring the roof down a little. The front headlights are exactly the new 3-Series headlights. Nothing else seems difference up front.

I think it just seems wierd that it's soo similar after 7 years of production. If these are indeed real photos, I don't know what it means that my initial reaction is that they're photoshoped. :dunno: I guess we'll find out for sure in January at the Auto Show.

i-drive, heads up display, nightvision = yeah baby!!

X6
 

X6 pictures!

M6 crossed with a X5! :wow:

The 4.8is will never be outdated in my book............will always be in style.:thumbup:

You know, I had the same feeling when I bought an E46 6 months before the e90 came out, and then sold it 4 months later....you know what? I regret it big time..I still look at the facelifted e46 in the midst of all the e90's and still :drool:...I mean I love the e90, but it DID NOT make the e46 look dated AT ALL, IMO of course...

Im pretty sure it will be the same case with the e53's...BTW, What is the new designator for the new X's?

:iagree:
I like it, but on first observations it does look like a 2005 X5 with E90 lights!
It has the 4.8is wheels ,front and rear bumpers and even the fenders are smilar to a recent X5.The side view, in particular ,is very similar.
Photoshopped?I would say yes ,because BMW wouldnt release a new X5 with
"old" model wheels..............................

I don't mind it all that much, not as drastic a change as I thought there would be.

I wish they would put the M3 style hood buldge in the hood though, always liked that on my M3. Takes away from the "I could be a mini-van" look.

If it's photochopped then the person that did it should work for BMW because it's better then what I saw from them. However, I don't think BMW would have released photos either because when I contacted them about the 2007 X5...they gave me the "it doesn't exist" bs like they do will all new models.

Photos state "computer retouched"
 

Most of the photos on the site state "computer retouched" and give credit to the source that retouched them. Seems to me that means they are computer generated.

Other photos on the same site list BMW as the source, instead of the above source. That suggests that these are not from BMW.

But, as long as we are gazing into the crystal ball, something even better than the new X5 artist concept pictures, is an artist's concept shot of the M5 Touring. There is also an M5 long wheelbase ( :tsk: ), but a touring..... :thumbup:

Looks pretty nice
very nice photoshop job
i really like it.
2005 Alpine White 4.8is/cream biege(sold)
2006 Interlagos Blue / silverstone

I wish they paint the bumbers, but looks good (except rear)

if those are official pics i dont mind the front but the rear doesnt look as bad ass but a lot better than i feared i'd take it

like arnold said, the back looks "girrrrly".....i would have to see it in person, but besides the back tail-lights, everything else looks cool...

X5 Pic
 

What is this ?

That was deemed a photochop.

That is a different artist's concept, but interestingly it is from the same graphic arts studio as the one that produced the artist's concept in this thread. Just goes to show that they really don't know either.

There are still no official BMW photos. The lastest shots may (or may not) be closer, but we really don't know yet....

The

This is very old photochop originating from concept X3. I saw this first mid-2004. The one in this thread is a recent one. ;)

Okay...now this I can live with and I don't feel too bad about ordering a 2005/06 model either...

straight up disgusting car. i would not buy it. ever. it reminded me of those land rover concept cars *pukes*

why not make it beefier? beef it out. give it some off road character. i cant tell you HOW annoying it is to get stuck when i off road. meh...oh well. i suppose i am the only sane person that off roads an x5.

I like it...
 

It seems like a reasonable next generation.

Am too fascinated with my new 2005 X5 to notice others :rofl:

My quick comment of the 2007 X5 as shown in this thread - looks like an oversized X3? :)

you're 4.8is is amazing compared to this :[ am i the only one who thinks it's hideous?

Talked with some BMW folks I know and they havent received any official "pictures" yet. They seem to be retooling it a little more since the Audi Q7 hit the market. One thing is for sure, I have an 05 X5 and plan on either getting the last 06 current model or going for the new version, but will wait till it comes out. I also heard they will be coming out with a 4.0 deisel. Who knows, maybe they will let us have real mufflers this time.


BTW, what is everyones opinion on the Q7?

It's fake. It has old 4.8is wheels and a 3-series headlights that someone Photoshopped into it.

Thats what I said :D

It's got the same old side mirrors on them too.
