I was offered two free tickets through BMW (thanks BMW!) for the BMW Championship at Aronimink Golf Club last week in Newtown Square, PA. I decided to go Friday which turned out to be great because it didn't get washed out like Sunday and was cooler than Thursday. Anyway while there there they had several vehicles on display (X2, i8, M4, M5, Z4, and pre-production X7 and M850i convertible) including the X5. I wasn't expecting to see it but was pleasantly surprised at the opportunity to.

A few things that stood out:
The grills! They are way too big in my opinion. They aren't quite vertical but appear to lean from top to bottom almost, which is misguided for my taste. I'm used to them leaning from bottom to top.
The taillights are great! They have a 3D effect and great depth to them. Best part of the new design, followed by the headlights (pun not intended ).
The rear-end looks a little fat to me. Almost like an old Touareg maybe? :
It's big! I'm not used to an SAV but it was still a bruiser.

I grabbed as many good pictures as I could (not many lol) given that it was up on a pedestal and behind a glass barrier. I wasn't able to see inside that much which I was really hoping to. I hope you enjoy!
