Yep, you were absolutely right on both counts (not that I'm surprised...). Thank you for the valuable info you've been providing on this and many other topics.

Supposedly leaked by a model car manufacturer

They sure seem to include all the details that we know will be part of the new design (from spy shots) like the widened grill, the stretched front lights that touch the grill, the more aggressive body molding on the side of the car, the Hofmeister Kink (or lack of, for that matter), the air breathers, the curved and lengthened L-shaped rear lights, and the side view mirror turn signal.

If these aren't real, they should be very close to the real design. Evolutionary... I like it.

2014 BMW X5 Images Leak
 

If you guys haven't seen it already....

Personally, I think it looks meh, especially the rear. I'm hoping the interior looks more like the current 7 than the current 3. Gonna pass on purchasing this since I know the steering will feel like the X3/5 Series.... light and electric.

Something about it reminds me of the Mercedes.

But... We will see in other colors and bigger wheels. Looks like it has potential to be really cool

Looks ok... I still like the lines of the e70 the best... Something about the aggressive bulges and lines in the body work just make it look mean.... The newer versions while nice, just seem a little more pedestrian.

It is the real deal.
The new X-series styling DNA.
