search the net, but thx God the scoops are never near the real final product. So normally they are not bad nor ugly like the scoops are always. Wait and you will see.

As Rudy said the bottom panel is just borrowed from the M5 for this prototype. The shifter itself is for an Automatic (Step) with pushbutton Park. Click the link below to see the same thing in the upcoming E70 X5 (it shows how the bottom plate will have a small hole for the shifter to come out of, not a big hole lke the SMG one):

Attachment 22016


I tried to post the picture here by just providing the URL but it said somthing to the effect that I can't do that to dynamic something or other. I was going to upload the pic to my photo server and then post it here when I got home tonight, but it looks like you uploaded it to E60.net Rudy.....good idea.

By the way....does the X5 steering wheel in this picture look even thicker than the SMG heated steering wheel on the E60?

It also looks like there are more buttons on the dash than our E60's....perhaps more direct buttons for the radio and the climate control???

It also looks like there's an electronic hand brake like with the A6 rather than the manual one in the E60

Looks like more A/C vents on sides. With the weather we have been enduring here, that would be welcomed.
