It's almost facelift time for the BMW X5. That means spy pictures galore and for us the second batch in as many weeks. You can hardly call what BMW have done a disguise but then again this is only a nip and tuck not a major new product. Therefore they have mostly hidden those parts where a lot of the work has gone. The front bumper seems to be the prime candidate for a facelift and from these images it appears bolder than the current model. The rear also gets a new bumper.
BMW tends to introduce a new engine with each new model or facelift. For the MY09 X5 all the possible choices form a very short list. One of these possibilities is a hybrid powertrain since BMW has been exhibiting concept ActiveHybrids. An X6 hybrid has even been spied doing tests. It could also just be the 4.4-litre twinturbo V8 in the upcoming X5 M but M cars are treated as separate models in Munich. The new X5 is expected to make an official entrance before the end of the year.
