Looks good. For potential buyers, would you get one right away or wait until the new plant has been up and running for a while?

I'm awaiting the twin turbo tdi

That'd be awesome, but here in the U.S., we never get those probably due to stricter emission rules and the current scandal won't help.

Well, better start saving because I'll be having one of those!

It seems to me to be a dilution of the halo marque, to RS a truck. Countering that idea, the BMW X5M was well executed, IMO. Several years ago, a BMW M-school instructor was driving an X5M and I couldn't keep up with him in the mountains. I was driving a Z4 owned by the school. That X5M came with 315 tires on the back

The F15 X5s with the M-sport package run 315s in the rear. That package makes for a very nice handling truck. Can only imagine how well the new X5Ms handle.

Imola wagon

I bet it wont available it to N.America.

Oooh, perhaps I will be getting a next gen Q5 after all then! I have previously said that I would only get another Q5 if it came in an RS guise. While I love my SQ5 it doesn't quite have the stock power I am looking for. 450bhp will do for a while!

That will likely be my next car In few years once they stabilize production and fix all bugs on initial model.
