You might be right that it doesn't have one. But I swear I saw a photo of a cover over it somewhere...if I find it again I'll post it.

They claims ministry of interior in Abu Dhabi is rejecting to authorize the activation of connectedDrive...so I have all the option of connecteddrive in my car (even CarPlay) but rendered useless without activation ! So better you check before thinking buying from Abu Dhabi motors |

Kokiiiz AGMC in Dubai on SZR does have the G05. I think they sent all the same ones to dealers for display, as the one from this post is a clone of the one in Dubai.
The price a "local" mentioned to you is accurate. I spoke with my guy in Dubai while I was there and the 6cyl will be just under 100k, and the V8 is about 128k. Considering there is a 2018 X5M with 2000km next door in the used showroom for a tad over 100k, I know where my money would go, lol. The lower portion of the rear hatch/"tailgate" is now power as well. At 6'4", I was shocked at the lack of rear seat space. The X3 has the X5 beaten badly in this area, as I sampled then back to back. I find the OP's post and photos much more accurate than the car review that shows a comparable picture. That driver may be over 6', but he is most likely a professional driver/racer and keeps that seat far more forward than the everyday driver. Definitely something to look at and research closely before buying. The OP's review should be good for EURO buyers as well. My previous X5 and M3 were both GCC spec and not a single part was different from Euro spec.

Kinda think the taillights of F15 are a winner for me...I can't seem to get the new design on the G05...looks more like a Mercedes design?!
Also, they've reserved the headlights connecting to the grills for the LCI...you can already see the curve...which would make the F15 look relevant again. |

Opening up the hood, I see little clips on top of the front nose that appear to be for the front grille (which now is so big is seems to be one piece of chrome), and/or the moving louvers just behind the grille. If it is indeed for the grille, it seems it might be able to be easily removed, to paint or replace, so it's blacked out.

Saw my first one live today on the way back from the driving range. Folllowed it to a Walmart, yes a Walmart, and took some pictures. I managed to park next to it in my 2014 X5 so I could really compare and take some pics. Here’s one.

Must be an employee or factory car? Dealers can’t sell them until 11/1.
Looks good though!!

It had regular South Carolina plates, but the woman driving it did look like she may have just gotten off work at the plant. And was coming from that direction when I spotted her and tailed her.
