    well, I have seen artist impressions of an X8 or so, and it is even uglier than an X5 (for those who considered that impossible)

    I cant say too much...

    I work at Plant Spartanburg we build the current X-5 as well as the Z-4. The replacement for the X-5 is the E-70 and a little later the E-71 will be launched.The E-71 WILL be THE sh!t. I promise.And the Z-4 Coupe is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more impressive to see in person.I cannot under ANY circumstances post pics of these cars but I can GUARANTEE they are coming.

    The Z4 coupe was already shown at the IAA in September, cannot be too much of a secret.

    and the expected X-sport

    and the X6, to which bigworm is probably referring

    LOL...I knew this would happen.

    The Z-4 Coupe.I NEVER said it is a secret.I said WE as Associates of B.M.W. saw the prototype of the actual commercial ready version (except drivetrain).I WILL PROMISE you that there are difference,small but noticable,between the press release pictures of the CONCEPT and the PROTOTYPE that we saw.That is all.
