As in other recently redesigned BMWs, the infotainment display looks like it retracts, but doesn't. |

Legend has it that a pair of turbos dwell in the eight's V. |

With both rows folded, there's almost as much cargo space as in the half-ton-lighter Honda CR-V. |

Still not an abundance of cargo space with the third row folded to form a flat floor. |
|

Very little cargo space behind the third-row seat. But a row of grocery bags will fit. |

Not a good use of $1,700. If you need a BMW with a third row, wait for the X7. |

...except the new Toyota Highlander has acquired the muscular fenders of the old X5. |
|
2014 BMW X5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
With its face out of view, one might mistake the new BMW X5 for the new Toyota Highlander... |

Rear side window kink, L-shaped LED tail lamps identify the new X5 as a current BMW. |
|
2014 BMW X5 mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Bulkier nose, lower roof, less muscular fenders make for a more generic BMW X5. |

If the third-generation BMW X5 has a sexy angle, this is it. |
