Head to head - new vs old X5

[ZfrkS62]

not a very good comparison imo. The E70 is shot from much further away than the E53. It actually makes the E53 look bigger, which it isn't.

Not that big of a change.. but it looks decent. I didn't like the X5 when it first came out but it grew on me.

Do they already have a 5.0L X5? Or will they introduce the new V8 with the E70?

its not a size comparison. Its a design comparison

this is an extremly good comparison, design wise.

[ZfrkS62]

design wise yes, but if you're trying to see what they did to accomodate the 3rd row seats, then no. all in all it just kind of looks like another facelift from thise photos :bah:

The length of the rear door seems to increase and the rear quaters decreases. I guess that is to give more leg room to the back

now..time to see the tech part, which I'm sureis going to be, as always, numero uno!!!

I think that looks prety nasty. Now if they would only give it a new version of the V10 putting out about 550hp, nobody would stand a chance.

like I said, design only..

Looks pretty good. Much more muscular now than before, wonder where those 7 seats are going to fit? Doesn't look bigger though... You're gonna sit quite cramped in that back row.

Still, looks really nice design wise!

Why break the tradition of offering a manual

At least not as ugly as i was expecting it to be

[martin100]

The back looks definitely better than the front, but the overall design is not bad at all.
