ing-schu@online.no Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Is that the hood/grille they always had? It isn't the new model released now is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 That looks like the still current model (facelift of the original). The new one is not launched yet as far as I know. Looks hot, I must say the 4.4 X5s also have one of the most incredible exhaust notes of any car on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yep, heard it too Wasn't aware of any facelift, sounds reasonable. The new model is on its way, seen pics. 7 seater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Here is the pre-facelift, compare the headlights. And I think this is a genuine pic of the 7 seater successor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mts Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yeah they are taking the front as all the new ones have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Trout, are you sure that's not a new X3? According to my sources the new X5 looks like this: [attachmentid=272] And more picks here: http://www.dn.no/dnBil/article848931.ece?start=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKI Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 2000 MY - 2003 MY is pre face lift....2004MY - Current post face lift....there are many differences between the current car and the prior....many improvments including the motor from the 7 (more power, variable timing etc). The new car will be out this fall, as far as I know BMW has NOT released and official photo, therefore until that time everything is simply a spy photo, or photoshop as far as I'm concerned...but then again, I'm no authority.

ing-schu@online.no Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Neither am I, but I think those are official BMW pics sir. In fact, when I came to work today, a shiny BMW sales magazine law on the table, with ALL models including the new X5 with pics, on sale spring 2007 it says. That shiny piece is going to accompany me home today However what looks like a X3 pic, which Trout found puzzles me more. Is that a facelift, look at the headlamps. The car in the magazine here does not have those headlamps Anyway I agree with MTS, your pic looks like a brochure pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 i am subscribed to that magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Actually this was more of a sales broshure distributed in mail to companies or maybe everyone, shall see when I go home today. Anyway I like the design of the older ones better, the mid to late nineties 7 series is a Xedos competitor in style and class, my opinion. One of the few worthy, again my opinion.

ing-schu@online.no Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think it looks like a X3 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Even the current X3 is quite new here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKI Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I was at my dealer last week and the official photos weren't out yet.....however, they must be now!...www.bmwusa.com has some good photos! I think the new one looks great!!!!! As for the car trout posted, the shape and size is X3 looking but the headlights are off the 5 series. BMW might put 5 series lights on the X5...but never the X3....good photoshop job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
