Exclamation New X5 and black 335i with aero package spotted on autobahn!

I was driving down the A9 from Munich today and then these two babies overtook me:

A camoflaged X5 (was faster than my 325i, but not much), it's quite bigger than the recent X5.

Ahead drove a 335i in Sapphire black with the optional aerodynamics package, looks pretty nice on black!

And: Damn, that thing is fast! Had troubles following him, but I even managed to grab my Camera from the backseat and shoot these pics for my fellow e90post members!

Sorry for the bad quality, it's hard to keep the Cam steady when going 200+ km/h with one hand on the wheel!

Enjoy

Great find! Thanks for posting.

Looks like another SG E90 too in the 2nd shot, further up the road center lane, and a 5er Touring in the right lane. Think they were all checking it out too?

thnx Dante. hmmmm i really dont like the rear end. i would prefer a moulded spoiler and the rear bumper is quite dissapointing. it looks like it has just been attached and looks cheap and tacky. dont really like the mesh either. give me the standard 335i rear bumper any day lol. my only fear is that the new m3 is going to be disappointing from the rear. we know it has a mesh design too and i think it will be similar to the m-sport rear which is BADDD. the front end is quite nice though, although the centre air dam is quite droopy, i would have to see it in real life though....new x5 although is veryy good !

edit: perhaps the mesh would look nicer lower down and nearer the exhausts and the whole bumper should be slightly lower

The X5 looks huge
And the 335i aero pack is not that good IMO

Great job taking the pics, be careful

Thank you all for the nice comments!

@ HulaHula: Thanks, can't wait to have it in my driveway!

@ Vlad: I think noone is allowed to see it undisguised in flesh til presentation in March 07.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pics of the front of both cars.
But I have another (bad) shot of the X5. The mirrors really have the size of Dumbos ears!

thanks 4 the pics Dante, looks like we have somthing in common, i commonly find myself taking pics of cool cars on the road, cant stop doing that

great pics considering u were trying to catch up n take pics at the same time

i said it before and will say it again, that rear spoiler of the 335 is damn ugly

love the X5 though, but i wish it had larger exhaust tips

hey dante, not trying 2 hijack ur thread, and i know its off topic, but here r some pics i took of techart chopster, ur a better, steady photographer than i am

The 335i aero rear bumper is a definite improvement over the very conservative stock rear end. It reminds me of the E39/540i sport package rear end. However, that 335i spoiler looks tacky. I hope that there will be a lip spoiler offered, similar to the E46 coupe. As of today, BMW Canada has not received pricing from Germany on the aero package components.
