    Spying: BMW X5

    The current BMW X5, which has been on sale since 2006, is getting a bit long in the tooth. BMW knows it and is beginning to work on a next generation model which has been caught by a spy photographer.

    Like the BMW 3-Series spy photos, the X5 mule has false headlights and taillights, and a lot of camouflage. But, judging from the profile, expect the new X5 to share a resemblance to the current X3 with a blunt front end and a different angle of slope for the tailgate.

    A source says the new X5 will ride on a on a heavily-modified 5 Series platform; codenamed F15. Engines will likely include BMW’s turbo six and eight engines, including a diesel option. Also, expect a M and ActiveHybrid model to come as well.

    Production of the new X5 could start in the forth quarter of 2013 at BMW’s Spartanburg, S.C. plant.

      We'll some will say it is a joke, others will say it defines the current situation of DC. When a clown moves into a palace he doesn't become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus. - Turkish proverb

      If going by the story about live of the battery having 64% left based on their degradation, then that would be a 36% decrease in battery storage. I honestly do not think the battery degradation would be that great. We are also at the early stages of battery technology.

      Is 20% greater than or less than 64% degradation?

      I went to Lowes to get a few things to help a friend with an electrical project. 50 feet of Romex, 4 boxes, and a few other small items came to $129. If anyone thinks inflation isn't real and a problem, they are stoned. Also, the place is is always swamped on Sundays, it was a ghost town.    Attractive Steam Locomotive.
