I can see what they mean by the rounder fronts near the lamps... the rear also appears taller (just suspension maybe?). If they continue with this it will look more like an avg people hauler and lose the aggressive look altogether.

If anything, it looks a bit more like the E53.

I hope it looks a lot better than this because from the pics it doesn't look aggressive at all.

Yeah not too much different--which is good and bad I guess. But it's still early to tell. I sure hope they paint the rear bumpers.

The first couple of pictures, it seems that the X5 has been jacked up. Looks like BMW is trying to create an off-road version of the truck

I see hardly any difference. The only different parts are the front & rear bumpers, which are the only camouflaged parts. And the front bumper looks less aggressive than on the current model. The wheels look too small (16"?). Maybe this is not a facelift but a test of a new, more aerodynamic bumpers (efficient dynamics)...?
