X5 [Spyshots] Next generation BMW X5 (3rd gen) 2015?

[EMpower]

About time, BMW leave the halogen lights to just 1 or 2 series, at the least. Xenons have been around for long time, and now we are talking about laser headlamps in next 7er.

Aaah, yes those laser lights.....completely forgot about them. LED light standard and laser light an option in the next gen 7er? LOL!
I agree about the halogen BTW. Seeing a 5er F10 with them is just nasty

Because of their status as the flagship (for now) BMW SAV.
Both the F15 and F16 BMW X5 and BMW X6 will offer optional adaptive LED headlights.
The BMW 5er LCi will also offer Adaptive LEDs as an option.

so, the second question is about turn and stop signals. Will it be LED, or bulbs?

 

[klier]

It will be LED. This car will be on F01 level, minimum. imo imo imo

LCI E90 also has LED signals, but F30...

As far as I know the 3er is not on 7er level. And the new X5 will be.

as far as I remember, previous 7er E65 had LED, but X5 E70 no, even LCI

 

[Denis91]

definitely Xenon. And halo rings looks wide and thick, like on LCI 7er

Thanks to PalBay for photos

Current 7er has though, and the current X5 is really old now....I really don't think there will be a single bulb on the new X5...

The Xeon Headlamps will have indicators with bulbs.

 

[Denis91]

Probably, like a 6er, but 7er has LED indicators even with xenon

This X5 will be a huge bang.

 

[Sayyaaf]

what you guys think ? will BMW use a torque converter auto or DCT the 1st time in an SUV?

 

[klier]

It better be M DCT in the new X5 M!

 

[Sayyaaf]

I certainly hope so, Porsche tried but then decided to use 8speed as PDK didn't handle the load, whatever that means.

Yeah, whatever that means because the M5 handles it all perfectly well

 

[Cashmere]

There's definitely a niche for a LWB X5. I hope the creative marketing team are paying attention

 

[hoffmeister_fan]

Although I haven't seen an X5 do much towing, would a DCT be able to handle that?
