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.

I will say in the IX it sounds the best. I have B&W in my XM it doesn’t sound like it did in the IX in my opinion

Luxury is extremely dependant individual standpoints..
BMW need to step up their luxury game as adding black leather on doors and glass controls don't cut it anymore. I hope they take it to a proper luxury level like the old days.

im very curious if BMW will actually step up the luxury or step down like the X3

Depends on whether your definition of luxury and theirs match.

Best they can do is more cheap plastic and cheesy touch screens

I believe their goal with the X3 was to keep pricing on par with prior generation (plus the usual annual cost increase). And sacrificed on the luxury side of things.

I suspect it’s going to be the other way round with the next X5.

I am relieved they didn’t use the interior from the IX on the new X5. Drove one for three weeks, drove nice, the audio does sound amazing, but gosh that interior besides the display looked like it came from an entry level car. Material wise, I think the X2 loaner we had a month ago was nicer. People that got in the car with me all said the same thing, is this really a BMW? They were then shocked when I told them yeah and the sticker is $104k as well. Now I know why they have such good lease deals.

So seeing the interior of the future X5 is a major relief.

Not liking the exterior so much, some mentioned they squashed it like a pancake, they are making it look like a crossover station wagon instead of an SUV. Hope when the camo comes off it looks better.

The X5 and X7 have always been more in the class like other SUV’s instead of a crossover, but looks like the X5 is falling out of that category.
