According to our rep, the new X5 is 7 inches longer, and 3 inches taller than the current E53 X5. From what he said, they aren't in the New Jersey port yet, cuz he went walking through it looking for them, so that tells me that the roll out for the X5 is coming up. My guess would be August/September.
Also expect the upcoming F01 7 Series to be revealed in Spring of 2008 as a 2009 model year. Which means spy photos of the test mules should be popping up early next year as the chassis is tested around Europe.

They've already spotted test mules on the Dragon's Tail in the US!

i'm surprised no clear spy shots have shown up of the exterior though. Launch isn't much further away.

The best interior of all the new cars! Thank god for no stupid iDrive Hump!!!
I actually still like the older cars interiors compared to the new ones, but this one is definitely the best of the bunch.

they may not be visible from that angle as they are going to be the pull-upshift/push-downshift variety that come in non-M vehicles.

I'm adore BMW's............BUT - Whats so impressive about that interior, maybe im missing something Its very........BMWish to me..extremely functional and driver oriented, but other than that it just looks normal.
Oh Well, Hopefully they get the nuts to build a prodcution LM X5 with a 600-700hp V12!!! Wishful thinking
