Unofficially revealed: BMW X5 LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) for 2010

DaRipper · 01-28-2010, 06:03 PM

When is this LCI update suppose to be released? Mine is scheduled to be in production the seventh week. I rather have the non update. Not feeling the new front and rear bumpers.

This is a rendering, no? Please tell me this is just some photoshop pix
What's with the nipple fog light? Come on

Poppin Fresh · 01-28-2010, 07:37 PM

Shouldn't the fog lights be placed on the lower part of the bumper for better visibility?

GuyOh · 01-28-2010, 08:09 PM

i call bullshit, those foglights are photoshopped!!!

CaliE90 · 01-28-2010, 09:00 PM

god those foglights are hideous, i seriously hope thats not maknig into production. If it does, I tihnk i might just have to go pick up with Q7 lci instead

i just saw q9, and honestly those excessive leds are getting on my nerves.but nevertheless these pics r not much pleasing to eyes either

jordanfox · 01-28-2010, 09:38 PM

I think the front & rear bumpers look horrible....

Vintage · 01-28-2010, 10:27 PM

maybe it will grow on me - they usually do; but right now I do not like the fog light placement

HAHAHA.. I am not a fan of the LCI myself. Glad I'm not passing up my order that should be arriving soon.

timurjonchik · 01-29-2010, 12:57 AM

I'm glad that i'm getting my 4.8i '10 with m sport pack next week.
Feel sorry for '09

positiveions · 01-29-2010, 08:36 AM

it just occurred to me. This thing looks like a counterfeit version of an X5.

Assuming the 2011 is the LCI, then according the 1/28/2010 press release:

Quote:

The Model Year 2011 X5 models will begin production in April 2010. Detailed information on the MY2011 X5 models will be released later.

Your 7th week production will not make it.

lei · 01-30-2010, 02:09 AM

looks good to me...

darn, should have waited...

mkoesel · 01-30-2010, 07:48 AM

N55 replaces N52? (xDrive30i => xDrive35i)
N63 replaces N62? (xDrive48i => xDrive50i)

goldn · 01-30-2010, 08:37 AM

i hope the roof rails are still on the production model

D_o_S · 01-30-2010, 03:12 PM

Regarding the kids, perhaps they are the designers of this facelift?

You know, have to start them young... allow room for error and let them learn from their mistakes

I think you guys need some time to get used to it ... It actually looks pretty cool ... Remember that is not the final version and they might still change some things here and there ... I think the front bumper in not bad at all but the rear is a bit weird looking ... Maybe Aero kit will do the trick ...

aero kit on the current body is hot already. maybe if they just threw that into the deal of an 2011 E70 it'd be worth it.
