Re: Change the rules: the new BMW X5

I just came from the dealer's and I was told that the new X5 is coming to dealer this december... at least here in Canada.

If that's true, I imagine the launch is pretty soon.

True, NA sales start late November / early December. Europe early 2007.

Expect press release in July / August.

And for a "pre-press release": stay tuned!

Re: Change the rules: the new BMW X5

A series of teasters. At the very least it won't be as bad as the promo for the Cayenne before it was lauched, there was video after video, sketch after sketch , and so on. The new X5 however will be here sooner than later, and I'm looking forward to it. The new X5, the only SAV, the only "Activity" vehicle worth while.

Re: Change the rules: the new BMW X5

To stay at the top of your game ...
To perform at your best ...
You have to ..................... Change the rules!


A "creative marketing campaign" starts in June - 1 article per week.
So, 8 articles - 8 weeks.


P.S.: Now you get a nice hint when E70 PR comes out.

Re: Change the rules: the new BMW X5

Info from Wikipedia:

Quote:
The E70 will bring new engines to the X5 lineup. BMW will begin a shift of replacing engines from the 2006 7-Series. It is likely that the E70 will inherit those same powertrains.

Petrol models will include:

X5 3.0i 3.0 L 255 hp (190.2 kW) inline-6
X5 4.0i 4.0 L 275 hp (205.1 kW) V8
X5 5.0i 5.0 L 355 hp (264.7 kW) V8
X5 5.4is 5.4 L 420 hp (313.2 kW) V8

Transmission choices will likely remain like those today: 5-speed manual and 6-speed Steptronic. It is possible for BMW to implement their 6-speed SMG system into the V8-powered models. Also, this generation's xDrive AWD system will continue largely unchanged into the E70. Rumors also floating around is that the BMW 7-Series Electronic Shifter will be used in the E70 to rival the 2006 Mercedes-Benz M-Class' shifter.
Accurate? I dunno. Sounds plausible though.

Yes & no.

6-speed manual, not 5-speed. And 6-speed automatic. No SMG.

Modified xDrive.

No new engine will debute along with E70. E70 will get the exsisting engines from other BMW models (I6 & V8 petrol & diesel engines). The "S" model coming later with V8 turbo.
