No. Just saying 20 on G05 is like 19 or even 18 on F15

Would love some more details? I’m hoping for a larger looking X3 with the new 5 series interior.

Same here. Please tell me they do a better job with the body lines than the camo version suggest. I'd be fine with kidneys the size of Cleveland if they would just not make that mistake.

Well. A larger X3 with 5 series interior is a good description but there are differences.

The grill is larger but it works well since the car is larger. This was my biggest concern but my F15 actually look dated.

The body line on the side that changes around the backdoor handles is there. It looks odd on the camo cars but it works really well IRL. The car I saw was carbon black and it looked good. No need to look for other SUVs because of that.

Rear lights are really nice. They are not flat as on the X3 but are more 3D. Kinda like Porsche but more depth. I really like!

Rear tailgate is fully electric, even the lower part and you can kick under the bumper to open them both.

M sport is what you want. It looks even more sporty than on the X3, especially the rear bumper.

So the rear flap is still divided?
I hate this

Yes

So I will be forced to buy Cayenne or new GLE or Q7/Q8

It is a built in seat!

Beefcake · 05-03-2018, 09:40 AM

Any news about a hybrid version?

in Europe, we are squeezed to have hybrids or electrics....

so if the X5 40e would have good specs (from the electrical side), it would definitely be a possible next car...

Agree. Love the split hatch.

Influence · 05-03-2018, 11:16 AM

Anyone have any dimensions for the new X5 yet? Particularly wondering if the wheelbase has stretched at all? My '16 X5 lease is up in October and I need just a bit more second row legroom (2 inches would be sweet). I'm hoping I won't have to jump to the X7 to get the added second room room I need as I really don't want the larger (and more expensive) X7. Nor do I really need a third row.

Awesome, that is fantastic news. Thank you for sharing the additional information.

I like the Split. It keeps groceries and junk from falling out.

This is still an SUV....

ano0oj · 05-03-2018, 03:25 PM

Any idea if the new body will get new engines as well? Hoping that BMW took some drastic steps to take care of the V8s....

Do we have to wait for BMW to have their new electrified flexible platform and modular battery pack ready to see some good autonomous distances appear?

or will the new hybrids already have some appealing numbers?

^ this is what I'm waiting to hear about too before I decide between new X5 or 530e. Based on my commute and not charging at work every day I'm hoping for a bit more range than 15-20 miles.

Definitely glad to see the newer X-models moving away from having the giant rounded fog light holes, that's probably the main thing that kept me from pulling the trigger on an F15.
