We don't comfortably fit in the backseat of the X5 but holy hell that looks ginormous.

Looks good - new X5 is coming for 2020MY i think.

BMW joining SUV party in full force, this will probably spawn the new RollsRoyce SUV.

I don't know about RR SUV, but I saw a Bentley SUV on the road yesterday, and it is very ugly, looks like a bunch of parts thrown together and design doesn't flow at all.

Nav system appears to have taken a giant step backwards.

Notice how similar steering wheel design is converging to nowadays....

Kind of funny, I told my wife, whenever I see a brand new S Class, with a woman driving it (we were making our way across a mall parking lot), I always assume, right or wrong, that her husband is the one who paid for it.....it would be interesting to see how much they played in the decision making of getting the vehicle.

From what I've seen of the brand new S Class, and the 760Li, it seems BMW is clearly headed in the wrong direction. Would not surprise me if this SUV were the same. They seem to have downplayed what their cars mean up to the mid 2000's, because that's no longer what their audience wants....my .02
