the updated headlights looks sooo much better... but im not so sure about that M sport front bar... looks a tad overdone... almost gives the overall impression of an X3

It look much better in silver than in blue, but the nostril is still gigantic!

That is one mean looking beast! Too bad the driver's parking skills represent BMW drivers.

Wow, I didnt know they had female test drivers. Just runnin' into Prada, sweetie?
Anyhow, I always wondered what an X5 would look like without the roof rails - and now that I do I wish they would have left them on. It just looks strange without them. Other than that its all hotness.

Wow that's ugly. U need all the power to go fast so no one can see u. Audi's front lower bumper copy.

how does that look anything like an audi copy?? please explain it to me.

@araz, because it looks like a TT-RS bumper with those 2 huge side air dams.

Looks like a BEAST! It's very nice, but I'd rather opt for something else around the same price range. The X6 on the other hand is my preferred choice. I think it looks more unique and is HUGE.

Plug them ugly nostrils, before the hair starts coming out!!! Plus no fog lamps???
April 23, 2009 4:09 pm
do a bit more research bro,,,, the M5 doesn't have fog lights, the M6 doesn't, neither does the M3...
its an M (thing) and they have their own reasons,,,
April 23, 2009 8:15 pm
fog lamps would ruin it man, plus i find it looks nice as is, no need to change anything :)

It looks like the predator when he takes his mask off! all boss eyed and ugly

"unflattering blue exterior"? If Estoril Blue has now become passe then I am in shock! It was the launch color on the then "X5 4.6iS". Still stands out from the crowd for me...

Oh my God, it's sooo ugly! They made it look Korean!
GTS Cayenne, ML63, even the regular X5 4.8 over this thing...
looks like it's got the rims off an old 3-series..

I can't see the point of having such a powerful SUV!All these power can give a very different emotions i a sports car!It's pointless to have all these power in a hude 4 by 4

I completely agree...I am all for "POWEEERRR!!" but this just loses any point...u will die paying for the gas, u will die because of the stiffness in the city and u will not pass an X5 on the highway...and no, it is not a track car. And no, u cant take it offroad...an SUV is a safe vehicle for many people into the city...u dont need 0-100 times to get from your house to the grocery store...

Then this car is not made for you
People are so ignorant when they say this car (sucks), this car was made for an "elite" segment of the population which you are not in...
People who have this car won't go for grocery, they have people to do that for them...
and when it comes to gas, if you can afford this car then you can afford the gas
plus where I am (Saudi Arabia),, we can buy all kinds of cars and the gas costs US$0.11 per liter, thats like 40 cents per gallon
problem solved :)

Looks very nice, almost abit plain in silver, but personally I think that the rims look abit small.
April 23, 2009 8:11 pm
thats really nice,, since BMW already shown the car to the public, they can do some final testing because this is obviously a test car (judging by the covered BMW logos)
can't wait to see it myself..
April 23, 2009 8:13 pm
Where do you get off muhaidib?
There's nothing "elite" about a BMW X5. Even a tarted up M version like this waste of space, tacky and overdone. All chintz and no taste.
Come to London and learn some manners!

What do you look in a car made for the "elite" segment?
-Luxury
-Performance
-Bold Style
-Uniqueness
The X5 M has all of those, plus more...
A car in this segment has SUV's in many tiers...
Tier 1 (lowest) would include Jeep, Toyota, Tata, and similar trucks
Tier 2 (OK) would include Land Rover, X5 3.0, ML350, Cayenne V6, Lexus RX
Tier 3 (good) would have Range Rover Vouge, Cayenne S, Cayenne GTS, X5 4.8, Lexus LX
Those three types can be seen in any city that has a good standard of living, now, those cars can only be seen on rich parts of town and in luxurious towns
Tier 4 ("Elite"): ML63 AMG, Cayenne Turbo S, X5 M, X6 M, G55 AMG
Tier 5 (Super): Specially tuned, high-performance SUVs such as the GV12 Brabus, Gemballa Tornado, Cayenne TechArt, ML Brabus
This is just what I think, correct me if I'm wrong...

Sorry I just read the part about London, I stay at the Dorchester Hotel and I always go to Leicester Square, I have been there many time, and all of the cars that taught you your "manners" are from Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia... All the Bugattis, Ferraris, Aston Martins, Lamborghinis, the whole nine yards..
I come from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I know the people who drive those cars, and since I'm one of them, trust me, I know what I'm talking about...
April 24, 2009 2:40 am
It is a very powerful car, but the more "correct" comparison is to make it sit next to the ML63 and the Cayenne Turbo...
And forget about the E55,, did you see the new E63? its a beauty ;)
