I posted this before, but I don't think many people saw it, so I'm posting it here. I looked at the spy shot and drew it on top, and it looks like it will come out like this. What do you all think?

Think it looks pretty decent all things considered.

Much prefer to the iX front fascia.

Also, apparently you missed the memo on the number of Teslas sold in China. If that was such a threat, I doubt they’d be selling there. I doubt any American automaker would. Clearly, Tesla and others (e.g. Buick) haven’t been tremendously threatened.

We get it, you are probably Chinese or dating a Chinese girl or something 🙄 …..

You obviously aren’t in business, either, and have little to no clue how this stuff works.

• There's a good chance the BEV iX5 will only be introduced in 2027.

Can someone tell me what this date means?
In production 8/26-07/33

Does that mean SOP is August 2026?

Yes, August 2026 - July 2033. That’s the typical BMW seven year life cycle.

woha for some reason i was expecting late 2025 for a 2026 model. This sounds like late 2026 for a 2027MY.

Correct, it has always been scheduled to be a MY27.

I would guess just under 600 hp. The ix5 m70 might be the eye popping one

The ICE should be 380hp and electric 200hp for a total of 571.

The shape is giving off Toyota RAV4 mashed with Maserati Levante and a bit of Subaru Outback mixed in. Going to be tough to beat the current X5s handsome appearance.
