You’ll actually recognize some of the scenes, but the biggest difference between this new footage and what we’ve already seen is the inclusion of a voice over that sounds quite a bit  like Jonathan Frakes, otherwise known as Will Riker from the Star Trek: The Next Generation series.

You’ll also get a whole lot of information about the various features of the BMW X5, including information about its xenon headlights and such.  Check it out directly below, because it’s actually pretty informative.

The facelift is actually pretty nice, too.  The BMW X5 is shown looking very competent in snow-covered roads, which is one of the main and surprisingly few viable reasons to actually buy an SUV in the first place, let alone to shell out the massive piles of cash necessary to buy a BMW SUV.  But don’t be overly surprised when it suddenly turns into a snowboarding video about a minute and a half in.

The end result is that the BMW X5 comes off looking like a spectacular piece of machinery that you’d definitely want to own and drive if you lived in an area prone to snow.  Never mind, of course, that a BMW X5 costs as much as houses do in some places….

BMW has unveiled the official prices for the 2011 edition of the X5 SUV, which now starts at $46,675 for the base model, which is around $1,800 less than the previous base model. If you want some more features and a beefier engine, the X5 tops out at $59,275, but you do get a twin-turbo V8.

This was actually applied to a BMW X5 titled the Typhoon Black Pearl by G-Power. And for that price, you may be amazed at the power it now has. It can power from 0-100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and do a top speed in excess of 300 km/h.

The power generated by the Typhoon Black Pearl is all thanks to a supercharger and new intake, exhaust, pistons and an engine control unit. These were all fitted in the BMW X5’s 4.8 liter V8 engine which now produces a crazy 625HP. Top it all off with 23” wheels and you get one hell of a monstrous vehicle to handle.

The prices:

  • BMW 3 Series Sedan — $3750
  • BMW 3 Series Wagon — $3270
  • BMW 3 Series Coupe — $3250
