Albert From Houston Texas writes: "What do I want to see in the 2008 X5?

Include the Spare-tire with the third row seat.
Replace the N52 engine in the 3.0 si with the N54 engine. The N52 engine is too weak for a vehicle this size.
Increase the cushion size of the third row seat.
Combine the sports and the M-Package.
Improve on the electronics control- it ridiculous to find a three week old car having problems with the A/C vent control.

Daniel Infusino from Wisconsin writes: "I’m currently holding off ordering an X5 until I see what the 2008 has in options. A few of the major items I find missing from the 2007 are:

Power tail gate.
Night vision (currently offered on the 5&7 series)
“Birds-eye” view navigation
Active seat availability on the passenger side.

Look forward to seeing the details on the 2008 when they are released.

Keith Norman from Bowling Green, Kentucky would like to see backlit reading lamp button on the 2008 X5 since he finds it difficult to find them at night. He also would like to see an upgraded backup camera which he feels is dark and poor visual quality. (July 2007)

Tim Fishback from Palm Springs, California wrote to say that he agreed with Keith Norman and wanted to add that the plastic handles on the door where too cheap and should be upgraded. (July 2007)
