BMW's next-generation X5 has been confirmed as the German automaker released the first official pictures of the new SUV, which will once again be built at the American plant in Greer, S.C. The new vehicle will be offered with two engines - a 350-hp 4.8-liter V-8 or a 260-hp, 3.0-liter in-line six. A six-speed automatic is standard. The body of the new X5 is 7.4 inches longer than the prior edition and the vehicle continues on an independent suspension. Adaptive steering and suspension systems are available for the first time on the X5, while the new vehicle upgrades its all-wheel-drive system to "xDrive," which has variable torque-split capability. The new X5 will also be offered in seven-seater versions.

 

Oops, I goofed.

 

looks like this is the prime competition for the RDX, in 6 cyl form at least.

i want to see a turbo fx from infiniti next (possibly making use of a downgraded 08 gt-r set-up)

 

i thought the x3 was rdx competition

 

it's somewhere in the middle from what i've gathered

 

it's for 2007, and :repost:

My bad.

 

You know, three of the four sides of the X5 really don't look too bad. Its face, though, is horrid.

 

more overpriced nazi crap.

I hate SUV's

 

I think it fits in well with the rest of the BMW lineup and in time will grow on me as the rest have. The new 3 is the best looking by far but I still prefer the styling of the previous generation.
