Good piont there Klier....!

As for that AMS chop... looks terribly boring and unimaginative, ...something BMW don't do.

But that PS posted by Artist, ...if they fix the lights (as in, dont have that line in the lights which cuts off the bottom curvature of the light design) then this depiction of the X5 would look real good. But then again, it isn't as mean and beefy looking as the current X5, ..maybe this is what the X3 should have looked like.

Thanks for the pics guys..!!

Scott26 reports on new X5:

Quote:

Someone please post the AutoZeitung pictures so you can get a 98% preview of the next X5 . Although the grille is closer in size to todays X5 and not quite as large. But the AZ pictures give very good indication of the finished car . Evolutionary for the X5 , Revolutionary for the X6.
The X5 is another 100%er known along with 2006 releases M3 and MINI 3.
Improve on the faults , but keep the core product identity and appeal
What is still amazing is that many countries still have long waiting lists for the current car.

Engines will start at the NG six cylinder . six cylinder diesel and for the first time the V8 diesel will accompany V8 petrol. the diesel has been essential in the overall development of the new X5 , As the current car badly missed out. The six cylinder turbo will form a high performance X3 while a V8 Turbo will form the X5 performance model.
The BMW board have decided against an M-powered X5 . As they see no particular need having two performance SAV/SAC when the X6 will be the ideal performance product to carry the M-powered identity.

When you look at when the current car was introduced the perfect example of a premium product it completely demolished the recently introduced M-klasse by all accounts . in quality , dynamics and identity.
The X5 was a great marketing success because the badge did not move the product - The response especially from the press done that the car was astonishing from the outset , BMW did not need to have a second chance like Mercedes with the new M-Klasse , BMW could not believe after they got the previous M-klasse that the quality was abysmal - The X5 had to surpass this and it did.

The X5 is core to BMW's current success with the new X5 BMW know that the competition has increased and and are out to keep their market.
The X5 was criticized for it's lack of boot space and the new car has been developed to acknowledge these faults.

The Autobild impressions are right on point, AMS is way off. I miss the "eyedrops", or indentations below the headlights, very unique and cool BMW design feature.

Well its scanned by me. Someone is spreading my scans

I'm particularly interested in the new X5 since there is a very good chance it could be the car to replace our 2003 E320. Which of these photoshops is the most accurate? Also, is there any more information about the engines the car will be released with and when it will be released?

Thanks.

Thats a bit dissapointing.

I was hoping the 3litre six cylinder would be updated.

So by the time the car is in Oz, should be mid 2007.

Also, the link you posted doesn't seem to be working for me.

Thanks tobajara.
