A friend of mine who works for BMW said that as well. She even said that the new 500hp V10 M5 engine was going to be offered in the revamped X5 at the end of this year!
BTW She saw the undisguised E60 in real life yesterday at a presentation for BMW staff. She was not allowed to take photographs but she hopes to get the official press photo's next week!

She said it looked terrific, very sporty lines and very roomy inside (comparable to the old 7 Series).

excellent! I know Ive voiced my grumbles about the current Bangle designs, but I think I like what I see in the E60. Maybe they are finally getting it right.
