2008 X5-what would like to see - 07-15-2007, 11:57 AM

Any idea on when we will get the announcement for the 2008 X5.

I am curious to see what members here would want to see as augmentations to the 2007 Model, please share your opinion.
Personally, I would like to see a power increase in the 3.0i, and the tailgate added as option.

I would like to see a Diesel version... other than that I don't really want any changes.

Are we getting night vision and efficient dynamics?

I think the efficient dynamics will be integrated into the drive system.
With respect to the night vision- there isn't a reason why it shouldn't be offered as option in the X5.

Paint all the plastics on Aero Package and that's it. If that was the case, i'd take it instead of M.

Nothing else that i need, since my only wish was fulfilled some weeks ago - tt diesel will be available in Europe this fall, so...

I agree, a finer job on the plastics will do a lot of justice to it.
For us here in the US, I doubt if we will get the diesels as 08 models.

From what has been discussed in the past- that may not happen.
The M version will be restricted to the X6 from what I have gathered.
I tell you what- an X5 with TTV8 will do just fine if you ask me.

Agreed! And it should produce at least 450hp.
