The front-end has the BMW battering ram look like the 7-Series. This is not coming to the U.S. right? Other than the front it looks pretty good. Will there be a M sport pack or a sportier model down the road?

I last heard that they were contemplating whether or not to. I don't think that they will though.

you know, it looks good in that picture, especially with those rims. But you it's gonna cost almost as much as a standard X5 to make it look like that. Kinda always ruins it for me with those small premium cars.

It's not coming to the US?

The rear looks, well, rear ended, and the front has the bug-eyed look of the 1 series but actually worse.

I read on CanadianDriver.com that we will get it in Canada... it would be a shame not to bring it to the US.

Really not a good looking car. Needs 21" not to look under-rimmed, is over-designed, too soft and chunky. It's a messy design, uncohesive.

And what's with that awful cutline above the grille? I hate it. It's bothering me big time, especially on the most recent ones like the 7er (the only design flaw of the 7er imo), but here it's even more blatant...

Looks like the whole front is one single piece that was merely placed there with no integration with the car in mind...

O yes! That is a spot-on comment, my brand BMW will counter the economic down turn with their options list! ....X-Drive 23d + options list would be a mere 2 or 3000 cheaper that a X5 X-Drive Diesel....That would be nice for dealers selling 2nd X5's hahahahaha
