Indeed the X5 4.8is will be at the LA autoshow this week. Don't like it so much in the pics, but seeing a car in person always seems to change things a bit. A V-10 for the next generation sounds good, but I don't think it's going to happen because BMW is so hard line about everything, at least if they do make it I wouldn't be suprised if it didn't come to the U.S. But then again, it could?
