In other hand. Mini does rally. x1 and x2 are build on mini platform. Which means - there some racing heritage is already there. x5 anything? No... just a big suv, comfortable etc.

But yeah, the current X5 is a bit underwhelming for those of us used to the E70 and E53. It's not really better looking than the E70, the interior is marginally nicer and more modern in design but nothing significant. The steering has gone Lexus-light whereas the E70 was heavy and tactile in comparison. Not really a reason to "upgrade" to the F15 if you have an E70. That's why my folks have kept their 2013 X5 w/ M performance engine and exhaust factory upgrades. |

So full reveal in a few months time... will be interesting. We need to see this in proper M trim and in a colour that suits it's design to form a proper opinion of it's appearance at least. How will it drive? Everyone assumes FWD will be crap, but surely if Ford & VW can do great driving FWD cars (Focus, Mondeo, Fiesta, Golf, Scirocco etc) then so can BMW..... No??
