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.

X7 really?? With only two rows of seats, not three? Looks kinda small to me for an X7. But either way, i like it.

The picture has been floating around the net for some time. Nobody is sure exactly. But most people have said it might be the x7

Looks like a X5 4.6is with a 7 series front end photochopped on it.? I thought and X7 would be... longer.

i thought that was the x3 activity vehicle or something..i remember reading about it..lemme find the article and pictures..forgot the magazine i read it in but edmunds has a preview of the X3 here and this other link contains your picture when talking about the X3.. here cant really read anything since its in russian...i read it in that auto newspaper-like magazine..comes out like every week and is like 3 bucks a copy...over-sized..enough with my rambling but i think its the X3 and not the new X5 or X7(?)
