Every time you think BMW has now created utter and miximum uglyness with its X5 models, they are able to surprise us again, this time with a Coupe version.....
Sorry for the small size of the pic I just stole it from the Auto Motor und Sport website. But the good part is that the picture is so small that you need not run to the bathroom immediately to empty the contents of your stomach.

I guess everybody already forgot about the BMW X-Coupe Concept launched a few years ago. It's amazing how these pathetic photoshops always freak people out.

I think in this case the situtation is more serious. BMW plans the car, with the same length of the "normal" X5, and fitted eitther with a 335 BHP petrol V8 or a 320 BHP V8 diesel.

I think it's just a bad chop. It looks like an old 3 series coupe stretched to meet the height of an X5 and the front of an X5 grafted on. No big deal actually.

no doubt the picture is a chop, however the worrying thing is that BMW has serious plans to put it on the market....

Well I highly doubt there's a market for a 2 door large SUV. People buy SUV's because they don't want a minivan (or just want to guzzle gas:D ). If they were to produce it, they would effectively be creating a new segment (unless Audi produces a Q7 coupe). People like the (semi) versatility and the looks of an SUV. Making it a 2 door would effectively be answering a question no one asked.

Auto Motor und Sport is notorius for misinformation.

Which in this case could be a very good thing :)

EXACTLY what I thought! It's an M3 body- check the mirrors.

This is further proof that BMW have seriously lost the plot.

After having had a drive through the VIP car park under FC Porto stadium yesterday, I highly agree with you. The amount of high-spec, damn-ugly SUV's like Cayenne, X5, X3, Q7, Touareg and others (without a sign of ever having hit a rought terrain), leads me to conclude this would be a best-seller.


You'll probably get a good discount per ton of steel:D
And recycling all that steel would be nice too. Imagine how many coke can's you could do with an average dutch family's garage.

don;t expect the X5 Coupe to be available before 2010. Until then, enjoy its absence:D

Oh, no... no-no-no. Tragically, enough, that question has been asked before, and the answer from one manufacturer was a resounding "What was the question again?"

Dig on this little 2-door performance ute' why don't ya? Behold the Suzuki X-90. This thing was briefly the soup sandwich du'jour of the automotive world. It made no sense, had awful handling and little off-road capability, and, in this case, was painted purple.

If this new BMW X5 will be built, IMO we will finally see an SUV which is as ugly and as disgusting as the Audi Q7.

P.S - People, let's hope and pray this new X5 will never be built.
