Spy Shots: 2007 BMW X5 Seating for five or seven in the sleek new BMW SAV.
Here, hiding under fake body panels, is the second-generation BMW X5. Measuring in taller, longer and wider than today's X5, the new version is expected to come standard as a five-passenger model, with optional seven-passenger seating configuration available.
The South Carolina-built ute isn't expected to be at dealerships until late in the 2006 calendar year, but sources have been referring to the new X5 as both a 2006 and a 2007 model-so we'll have to wait a bit longer to find out the exact model-year designation.

They just introduced a bigger engine last year. They probably won't need to replace it again, but perhaps they'll upgrade it.
Well, I know, but they're a brand that practically looks for excuses to make high end performance models... Do you think they'd make an M series model? Give Porshce and AMG an even better run for their money.

haha... the 12... I don't know, it's possible I suppose. A man I know on a bank board as an 04 V12 7 Series... I don't like how it looks, but the engine is just huge. I'd love to drive it.
