New X5 to go TURBO!!

stig · 14 Jul 2006 at 12:30

"According to car magazine, the new x5 has been delayed until march 2007 and will feature the following engines when it comes out

3.0 turbo diesel : 231bhp/500nm at 1750rpm
3.0 bi-turbo diesel : 281bhp/580nm at 1600 rpm :eek:

3.0 bi-turbo petrol : 306bhp/400nm at 1500 rpm
4.4 bi-turbo petrol V8 : 408bhp/600nm at 1400 rpm :eek:

hmmmm turbo powah!

from the 3.0 bi-turbo we can guess what the 335i will have!

Who cares about the petrol what about the 335d??? It'll have a simliar spec engine I gues with 580nm!! or 430lbft in real money...

Beepcake · 14 Jul 2006 at 13:57

I like the active sunglasses technology on the windscreen though.. always a pain getting those visors just right.

If BMW don't sack the entire design team IMMEDIATELY , I predict they will be no more in a few years....

considering their anual profits rose by almost 9% the last business year i find that hard to beilve

The front of that is truly shocking. Great sounding technology though, I cant seem to work out BMW at the moment mind. The new 3 series coupe works really well, but this is awfull.

Awaits 6 months to one year. It always looks better when your eyes get use to the design. The 5 series is the best looking modern exec car I have seen.

For the record I think it looks really fat and lumbery, but I haven't seen one in the flesh and haven't waited 6 months after seeing one in real life. (Haven't seen one on real life yet - obviously.)

I haven't gone for a check up ever about my eyes, but they work great, maybe slightly long sighted.

It was more aimed at your 5 series comment
