I have seen it for real and although it looks nice it is not the real M. It doesn't have the latel grills neither it has bigger air intakes for the brakes. That is the BMW X5 M Sport.

The M sports package looks great. I really hope the X5M will look like an M car and have the true preformance of one. ML63 AMG look out!

There is no way X5 M would miss the fog lights. I am sure they will be there. Well, at least I want to believe so. Not the best rendering.

Horatiu, you are totally right. New X5 M do not have some foglights and the engine need lot of air, so the front bumper need to have air taking holes. In my opinion the best pic so far is MOTORAUTHORTY preview picture: http://www.motorauthority.com/content/thumbs/b/m/bmw_x5m-0917-950x673.jpg What you thing Horatiu? It is NO X5 M.

Plus from that big opening in the bumper I don't think the M version will have front fog lights again similar to current ///M cars (Plus the 135i) a couple of thing I thin you forgot to mention were that the X5 M seems to be supporting X6 headlights from the spy pics, I could be wrong on this. from what it looks like that the exhaust tips are actually more to the center in the spy shots than the M sport model, something similar to current M cars .
