Let’s talk about X5 history…
In 2006 BMW released a new 3 series, like they are doing right now (today, October 14, 2011), less than a year they released a new X5 which is our current model, in 2011 they changed the engine to 3.5i turbo and they did some very small changes on the looks.
The current X5 still looking sharp, but I don’t want to expend 50K on a car that will be outdate next year.
Lets agree, on every new model that BMW introduces comes with a smaller engine, same or better performance than the previous model, better gas mileage, and less weigh, and on the X5 case the car seems way too heavy. Plus, the current instruments are outdated compared to the 2011 X3 & 5 Series.

I would make sense for BMW to introduce a new re-design model next year.
I do consider the new X3, but the front of the car is not as rounded as the X5, plus the X3 does not offer that MAN looks that the X5 has.

Waiting for replays, Thx.
The redesigned 3 series will begin sales in Spring/Summer 2012 as a 2013 m/y which puts the X5 about a year off at Spring/Summer 2013 as a 2014 m/y.

The F10 5 series grew in size and weight. Unfortunately, the X5 will most likely to do the same.
