2008 X5-what would like to see

chonkoa · 07-15-2007, 11:57 AM

Any idea on when we will get the announcement for the 2008 X5.

I am curious to see what members here would want to see as augmentations to the 2007 Model, please share your opinion.
Personally, I would like to see a power increase in the 3.0i, and the tailgate added as option.

I would like to see a Diesel version... other than that I don't really want any changes.

Are we getting night vision and efficient dynamics?

I think the efficient dynamics will be integrated into the drive system.
With respect to the night vision- there isn't a reason why it shouldn't be offered as option in the X5.

I agree.

Paint all the plastics on Aero Package and that's it.

If that was the case, i'd take it instead of M.

Nothing else that i need, since my only wish was fulfilled some weeks ago - tt diesel will be available in Europe this fall, so...

A BMW MX5/ X5 M

Nothing like 373kW out of a V10 in the x5

I agree, a finer job on the plastics will do a lot of justice to it.
For us here in the US, I doubt if we will get the diesels as 08 models.

From what has been discussed in the past- that may not happen.
The M version will be restricted to the X6 from what I have gathered.
I tell you what- an X5 with TTV8 will do just fine if you ask me.

Agreed! And it should produce at least 450hp.
