X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

Talking Future X Series

Well we all know that the X3 is coming out.......and that a Motorsport X5 is on the drawing board.

But what else do you think BMW should do?

Assuming Chris Bangle has already been assassinated....here is what I would like to see:

X3: Smaller Performance SAV.......like what is coming out except better looking

X5: Redone with more power, better manual and other improvements.

X7: Large SAV.......made to battle the Lexus LX, Ford Excursion and Lincoln Navigator........based off 7 series platform.

M SAV: Since they can't call it the MX thanks to Mazda.....they should take a cue from the M Coupe and M Roadster and come out with the M SAV. Lowered, M5 engine and sport seats.

M SAV:

Why not? It would just be a raised 7 series basically.

Yeah, the X7 is already on the drawing boards, and it's gonna look pretty nice (might be powered by the V12 from the 750il )

Hey Matt, dude, I'm back, kinda, anyhow, internet isn't up in my room yet, but it'll be up soon enough, catch your later bro, take it easy!

Ha, big SUV's SUCK IMHO, nobody EVER drives them offroad and they drink WAY too much gas. I mean, everybody down in TX had a friggin Suburban or Excursion and it was horrible. I mean, I'm not bashing those cars, it's just that I'm saying I don't like them. To each his own.

Ever notice that the ones who complain about gas prices are the ones driving around in the big ass SUVs? :

Hey KAtt

Hey Katt the vid is working for me the, there are 2 things that could be preventing you from viewing it either (1) You are using windows NT or (2) you do not have the latest version of "Windows Media Player" 7.1. I will send a link for you to Download it, let me know if you are stil having problemsMedia Player

By the way if you are on Windows NT you cannnot download 7.1 because the highest supported version is 6.?
