New X5 looks alot like the X3
Front end slightly different but a lot of the exterior looks like the X3. Interior not so much.

The x5 and x4 front end definitely telegraph the direction of the LCI X3 expected for my2015.
3 series family resemblance. Quote:

Yeah the rear is like 95% X3. Doesn't look too bad, looks less "cheeky" as the current one, and thanks crunchy, they kept the nice Xenons DRL and not cheap looking LEDs like the competition.

The tail end of the new X5 looks good, but front lower air dam looks horrible as do the side air vents. Does the interior i-drive screen retract? |

Interesting that the sDrive / RWD is available - wonder if it will be an option in the US, and if it'll sit lower than the xDrive.

Exterior looks ok, but the interior looks great.

Thats the worst part of the 3 series' interior in my opinion, I sure hope this not the new direction BMW is going with their idrive screens.
