A few random comparison shots to a new F15 X5 M-Sport. I'm excited to see the arrival of the new X5///M but for now, this is as close as we could get. I like the new models, but still think the E70 has a better look. :)

That f15front end is weird looking but I like the taillights.

I like them both Jon, and for different reasons. The interior on the f15 is just amazing to me, love the taillights, love the optional LED headlights. The e70, on the other hand, has more pronounced fender flares, even the non M's, its more squatty and muscular looking and I prefer "smaller" vehicles myself. I don't know the difference in sizes, but the e70 just looks smaller, in a good way. I think an x7 is going to be ridiculously huge waste of mammoth space. But I understand, apparently BMW thinks they'll sell a few.

I was really amazed at what just adding a couple of different options could do. So in other words, the m-sport can be better looking!Quote:

And Ryan, the E70 had an option for 3rd row seating as well, so that's nothing new. The ///M never got the option, not sure if the F15 X5///M will get the option. I still don't find it necessary.
I can't say that I have never sat in a 3rd row but I haven't done so since watching a bit about the safety for a rear-end collision and 3rd row seating on one of those British car shows (I don't remember which one). It might have been a bit extreme, SUV was stationary or not moving very fast and was rear-ended by a Semi Truck at highway speeds, but they made a good enough of a case for me to never want to sit in one again or own a vehicle with them. I tried to search for the bit on youtube but couldn't find it.Quote:

Morning Mafia. Hope your monday goes well.
i agree 100%, however when doing some reading about the E70 with 3rd row option, i found that BMW hadn't done a 3rd row in a vehicle until that point because they couldn't find a way to safely do it. apparently the E70 with the 3rd row is structurally very different from the non-3rd row vehicles - enough so that you cannot retrofit a 3rd row seat into one not originally equipped.Quote:

We had several days last year (like pretty much everybody in this part of the country!) that were -14 degrees. My Dodge diesel did NOT like that much... Looking at a low of -5 on Wednesday this week...
