I don't think the X5 has any "catching up" to do. It is easily the best in class.

The X5's overall design and implementation may be a bit better than the ML...but the current X5 certainly doesn't have the power of the ML (petrol); and that is what I meant by catching up.

Comments of person who took pics -
"The German engineers around this vehicle asked me not to take snaps, but I couldn't resist. They had just removed the dummy body panels. It looks pretty good in my opinion."

^ I don't think the shape is going to change, but we might see a new tech for the lights, with LED blinkers and stuff....

They are taped because it's more obvious it's a test vehicle that way. That's my best guess.

450 hp 4.4 V8 TT would be nice

Hint: M3 sedan has the fascia of M3 coupe.

Check the fascia of both X6 & X5 Performance variants: you'll be surprised. Or not ...

No, it'll be like the title:

X5 4.x iS and X6 4.x iS

No M version of X5. Absolutely no way. And I think it's silly if they give both cars the same headlights.....
