The 2007 was a new design, same as the 2014/F15. I keep my X5 for 200K miles so now I have something to look forward to in a few more years, I hope.

True. The exterior styling isn't a HUGE change from the F15. But based on the training I was able to listen to yesterday at the dealer...the changes and improvements to the G05 are massive. It literally is a new vehicle in every possible way. Suspension, engine, transmission, xDrive, iDrive, interior, gauges, switches, chassis, technology, performance, off-road capability, etc.
The F15 is a great car! So no need to jump ship early on a lease, but if lease is up and someone wants another X5...I don't think they will be disappointed!
