Just got my 11/23/98 Autoweek.
It has the first official pictures of the X5. The new SAV based on the 5
series. It will initially come with 235hp 3.5L V8, and 286 4.4L V8. The
new 230hp 3.0L inline six will be offered later. Europe will get 184hp 6
cyl and 368lb-ft 4.0 V8 diesels.
All will be 5 speed automatics and estimated to run 7% more than
equivilent 5 series. Avail late 1999.
Also offered will be a 3 series Touring in the US. No US time table (late
1999 for Europe), but it will get the new 3.0L six (I assume the 3.0L
will go in accros the board to replace the 2.8L and will further
differentiate from the 2.5L used on 'low end' models). A slightly
disguised 3 Touring is pictured.
