? The X7 has never been close to the X5 in terms of sales numbers.
What I mean is TAKE MORE of the x7 sales based on style TurtleMan! TurtlePower! Ps- all serousness- where did your tag name come from? Did you author the book Turtle Boy?

The front end works on the X6 imo but not as much on the X5. Love the rear of the X5 though
Because the X5 LCI in the photos is the xLine and X6 LCI will have M Sport as standard so X5 LCI M Sport will look similar.

Interesting how M sport x5 is missing from launch!

The wheels on 50e is gorgeous, it’s not even a M pkg one:drool:

Hopefully M sport package will rectify the issues that I have with the front and rear bumper covers.


Edit, It does, I posted the above prior to seeing the photos above.

For over 40 years it has been my wife's nickname for me, she thought I walked too slow. :lol:

Given the inflation rates over the last couple of years and the enhancements, the price increase isn't really much.

Especially since they skipped the mid-year price increase for the X5/X6 .

So the m60i is slower than the m50i!?

The current M50i on BMW USA site shows 4.1 0-60 currently but in this press release it goes UP to 4.2 on the m60i. Makes no sense given that people are recording much faster numbers on the x7 m60i compared to the pre lci. The 50e on the other hand drops from 5.3 in 45e trim to 4.6. And I bet real world it does 4.2.

As well you will now have to pay the federal luxury tax of 20%. That additional tax is going to hurt BMW in Canada. Might have to buy out my lease haha.
20% over 100k or 10% of the total cost, whatever is less. So in practice you will only pay 1-2 k.

Don’t current owners already get 40 miles? The previous gen is rated at like 80 km in Europe. At least the fixed the super slow charging.

Hard to tell in the image because of the deliberately poor lighting if the front has the gloss black mask like the X6. It's not a good look and BMW desperately needs to get over their obsession with gloss black exterior elements.

Still unsure how I feel about it overall, though the non M Sport X5 does look quite nice, looks a bit more premium than before somehow. Can't believe the dumb <<<<<>>>>>X5 ambient lighting made the jump from the X7 to X5.

$4k price increase on the 40i model.

I suppose everybody is doing it...

Looks worse than I was expecting. Called it on the price hike.

If prices continue like this by the next generation you’ll need to be a doctor or lawyer to afford one of these.
Our salaries don't keep pace with the rate of inflation on these cars and everything else.

Maybe the tech bros who haven't been laid off can afford it.

It is not expected to meet either of the new battery requirements so it will not be eligible for the tax credit.
How will be able to know for sure? Are they going to release a statement about the battery composition sometime soon?

The M60 M Sport is screaming jr legit M. I'm certain that the LCI F95/F96 will have the grill slits going horizontal, but with the same S68 engine and close to 4 sec 0-10 not sure if a F95/F96 makes any more sense--but I withhold full judgement and my final decision until the LCI F95/F95 is revealed.

Any new interior/exterior color's?
