| 2014 BMW X5
Pictures have been released for the upcoming X5. Not sure what is up with BMW trying to make there 3s and 5s look a like. Originally thought those were pictures of an X3.
Picture of X5 2014 BMW X5 doesn't upset the formula - Autoblog 
Picture of X3 Rear 
edit: Looks to have taillights taken straight from an X3 (except without that small chunk at the bottom) and overall body looks a lot like an X3. Sorry, can't post other pictures but you guys can check the link for the rest of the pics.

|  I'm glad I'm not the only one. I personally like the current X5. First gen X5 was a bit too boxy imo. However the C pillar looks to pay homage to the first gen's which I think is a sorta nice touch.

I like the current gen X5 a lot more, in terms of looks.
The next-gen looks a little boxy (or boxier than the current X5).
I don't think BMW changed much of the styling cues from the current gen X5.
If anything, this could be called a "face-lift" instead of a new redesign.

Yeah I'm not sure if it's just me, but the pictures sorta give the kidney grill a much small look to it. Could that be what's making it look soft?

I don't think it looks that bad but the 0-60 for the top model is pretty nice.

I'm not a BMW "fan" per se. There are some bimmers that I see that are fucking hot, but I go on with my day.
That said...why the fuck do all these multitude of different models that I'm sure are needed and relevant look the exact same?
The next news you will see out of BMW will be their realization that they need to consolidate models.

why does that Msport have so much wheel gap =\
everyone knows BMW's are never taken off road-ing.. The most it sees is a curb or a house or a storefront in Richmond

I think what it's missing is the bulges for the fenders that gave the previous gen's that muscular look. I imagine the new one, the whole body is a little bigger now.

Just like the Ranger Rover, they've somehow softened the exterior by heeeeaps. The current gen is one of the boldest/chisseled looking suv in its class.

looks like they shrunk the truck and it has shed some weight....
following the same trend as what the cayenne did.
X5 now looks like a 120% X3 in the rear.... and they put the front end together from bmw parts bin and glued on a bigger grill...
