You're right, KL. I guess the headlights are E92-ish. I think it looks better than the last generation so far. At least from this angle. It's a little more curvaceous and sporty.

Yep, headlights and side markers on the fender like that...I also see a nice wide track, I like the way the wheels sit out at the corners like that. Should be a worthy successor....if the materials quality is maintained or improved.

You're crazy. That car in black with a light tint all around is going to be a beauty.

It does look a little x3-ish but it will be obviously much bigger. The x3 is tiny.

this is an evolution of the current x5 and i like it. it's grown, but what car/truck does grow. i think they'll do fine w this car, add to that the 335 motor if they decide to do that, bam, decent performance and ok fuel mileage.

Who says they can't film a commercial in Australia for the US market?

Here is the original post(X5 world): http://www.x5world.com/x5-e70-forum/...tml#post175158

Claimed to be a scan from a dutch magazine called Autoweek.
