Are we getting X5 M like body colored bumpers?

Palbay, listen for TT engines on facelift mules coming to your area.

Anyone notice why the diesel X5's rear is so high.

Different suspension setting?

Setting for off-roading?

But it seems to be too early fot a facelift don´t you think so?. Also, the FL looks very subtle, with only a few changes on the bumpers, that are IMO the worst part of the current model (too black plastic on them).

What I find a pitty is that we are not going to see a cahnge on the head lights like with the first gen X5. Now that BMW has the X6 too, que X5 will always be the restrained SUV, and the X6 the agressive one.

Is BMW changing all he X5 head to the X6 head lights when the X5/6 M is released?

If so are they not just preparing the car for then?

X5 already has the same interior than the X6, now the same front too? That´s too much. It doesn´t make sense to have to cars that similar.

BMW obviously don't wont them to be too different, so you buy the X5 is you need more space and you buy the X6 if your the buisness type person with no children to put in the back

Or maybe because a lot of people canceled the orders for the X6 because of only having four seats but didn't wont an X5 because it's not as good looking compared to the X6 so they lost sales, so they decided to make the X5 the same as the X6 so if someone doesn't want an X6 because of space they buy the X6 because they look the same?

(Phew)

What is changed?? New model looks same to the current model.

I expected the lights of new model would become more sharp like X6.

i don't think that this is a facelifted X5
the bumper looks more like BMW Performance Parts

Already?? Why so similar? But after reading on:

Or maybe because a lot of people canceled the orders for the X6 because of only having four seats but didn't wont an X5 because it's not as good looking compared to the X6 so they lost sales, so they decided to make the X5 the same as the X6 so if someone doesn't want an X6 because of space they buy the X6 because they look the same?

True.

But Still...

My dealer told me how many times he has lost X6 sales when the customer finds that it can only seat four. BMW should have the rear bench seat as an option.
