If you thought our spy follows only sportscars and exotics, you’d be wrong. He’s also interested in more mundane sets of wheels like, say, a BMW SUV. And it’s hard to ignore him when he sends in a bunch of images of the upcoming BMW X5, especially since we know the F15 platform that underpins the all-new model is a version of the fabulous F10 5-Series chassis.

- The forthcoming X5 will offer a host of engine options, but we really want to see the new tri-turbo six-cylinder diesel under its bonnet.
Also, the pic above shows the X5 with the least amount of disguise, allowing us to see the sleeker lines overall and the sharper fascia showing a more upright double kidney grille and production headlights that are reminiscent of the ones seen in the F30 3 Series.
The new X5 is likely to come with a wider array of engine options than before, including an inline-six and a V8. Although there’s speculation about a possible turbo four-pot, it seems doubtful considering the SUV’s bulk. We’ll bring you more details closer to its debut — possibly
as early as the New York motor show starting at the end of next month.
