The bootleg X5. I've seen it in magazines but never thought I would see one in person. When I saw it, I said "Give me the camera quick. The X5 look alike." The owner of the car must be thinking we are admiring his car but really, we are laughing at it.

Nice catch. As far as imitations/look-a-likes go, I'm not a big fan. But I did read in Popular Science, many of the imitations coming out of China are actually better than their authentic counterparts, or in some sense help to improve them. A perfect example is the IClone. Yep, you guessed it, a replica of the Iphone. Check out this article:

In no way am I saying this imitation is better than an X5, who could build a better BMW than BMW?

Didn't BMW sue these guys? I recall an earlier post that said they did.

havent heard of that...

I'm just speechless! Good lord!

Ahah!

Where that false X5 was ?
Asia, China ?

hahaha, I cant wait until the facelift E70 knockoff comes out.

They took the hofmeister kink directly from the X3.
