Is this the next generation X5??

MB4ever · 09-22-2005, 08:52 PM

I think it is actually the next 9er, based on the 7er chassis.

My mistake. This is actually based on the 7er. It may actually be what they've been calling the 9er.

Yeah! Im a bit comfused here. I remember seeing a nice PS of the '9 series' back in the late 90s and designed by Bangle (It was beatiful btw), during the time VW and BMW were fighting over who would own Rolls-Royce. Once they secured the RR name, they immediately dropped it and Bangle, yes, no other, took over the design of the next Rolls-Royce (I read somewhere that because of the bad rap he was getting from the 7er design, they decided to keep this from the press as to not hurt the Rolls brand image).
I wished I wouldve saved that PS, I would post it here, it was really nice looking!

ALso, it made sense............ odd numbers, sedans, not minivans!!!!!

looks like a 3 series station wagon with suicide doors. Looks odd, but ok, for whatever it is, i doubt its a x5 though.

That is a great looking car
