I respect your opinion, the front is probably the hardest part of the car to digest. However, I really think that the headlights match the "macho" look of the car. If the headlights were as straight as the E90's, it just wouldn't give that aggressive look to match that crazy looking hood.

As for the interior, I think design wise it is absolutely beautiful. However, I think Audi is still king when it comes to fit and finish. If BMW are able to match that, then that would be a huge step forward. The combo that Osna has is not that great imo, wood and terra leather. I just think that there's too many shades of brown. Aluminium trim would look great.

The gearlever... There's a P button on the stick itself. Is that just another way to put it in park or what? Or is that button just to put it in Park while the other releases the handbrakes?

For some reason this car reminds me of a cute thick chick w/ a nice booty....



even though there's no "booty" to be seen here...

That's cool how we have different views, because I see a rhino charging at you. There's nothing cute about a huge charging rhino
Btw, nice pics you found on BMWUSA... here are some more. I love this car... it clicked instantly while the E92 and Z4 took longer

I know a lot of people have said this...but that is th best interior for an SUV ...its actually my favorite current interior

wow these latest pics are HOT.. a black one will surely be KILLAH

Anyone know if the "Updated IDrive" will ever be available on the E92?

IMPORTANT

BMW came out with the official press-release for the 2007 X5 -unfortunately it's not available in English yet. It seems my information on the diesel engine was "one turbo wrong" as the X5 gets the normal 231 Hp 3.0 AND NOT the 272 Hp twin-turbo 3.0 6cylinder -although it is certain that the X5 will get this engine later. Also, the 4.7 V8 pumps out 355 Hp (and not 367 Hp) while the 3.0 petrol is good for 272 Hp (and not 265 Hp).

wow.. thats kinds weak compared to the ML500 wich puts out 388hp soon.. they will update that engine..
they should atleast have used the 367hp engine from the 550

Its hardly weak compared to a car (ML550/ML500) that doesn't exist yet (still no official work when that'll happen... after all the word "soon" is as good as saying "how long is a piece of string?") It might be inevitable, but still unfair to make such a statement. Besides, 302hp put out by the current ML500 is hardly weak... let alone 350hp put out by the new X5.
