Is there a functional reason for the fake air intakes on the M Sport package - i.e., to protect the car from the elements? Or is BMW just trying to ruin the look of the M Sport package?

Sucks that my 2 and a half year old X5 is now dated
2 more years and hopefully it can be updated. Then the cycles begins again

So which diesel are we getting in the US? Any guess as to the mpg compared to the current? My X5d will be 4 years old in Nov and I'm probably going to trade for the new one.

I cannot, for the life of me, comprehend how people look at that and say, "yeah, that looks good". It's THE largest styling element. The largest styling element on the face of the vehicle is big ugly fake plastic panels. How do people not see that?

Does anyone remember this pic. This pic is the main reason why I bought one of the last E70s. This is what this car really is. Clever angles though and small person beside it does help give appreciation of its size. Those lights do look good.
