May 6, 2010 - PRLog -- 2011 BMW X5 M REVIEW
As is typical for a BMW, theX5s mid-cycle styling update is so subtle as to require a side-by-side comparison for most people to tell the difference. So you dont have toopen any more browser windows, here are the 2011 changes in a nutshell:The hood and grille are carry-over, but the plastic front fenders now meet a full-width and painted front bumper skin containing larger apertures and a scuff-plate-look metallic lower trim piece. New head lamps feature LED rings (a.k.a. angel eyes) and the fog lamps a reset higher and more inboard. In back, the bumper cap has been reshaped to match the look of the one up front, complete with the faux scuff plate. Chrome-trimmed tail lamps also now adopt the LED light banks now found on the rumps of most BMW models. Toss in new exhaust tips, and the transformation is basically complete.

OPTIONS
For 2011, the X5 xDrive35i will be available in whats this?three trim levels (yes, trim levels on a BMW!). The lineup starts with the essential X5 xDrive35i, which will be available for $1800 less than last years base model, at $46,675.
