Default BMW X something...

Hey, what's the name of BMWs new slant-backed SUV? I just saw one, or a mule. It looked like an X5 from the front, but as it passed, it had a sweeping coupe-like roof line.

It was X5 sized, and had the current gen X5 nose, but it was different from the side. I didn't get to see the back of it. It had more of 6-series roof though -arced and very swoopy.

Let's clear things up here. The bottom picture isn't a real BMW. Looks to be a photoshop prediction of the 2nd gen X5. This is what the real 2nd gen X5 looks like:



What I believe you saw was a test mule of the upcoming X6.

and by the way, there is no such thing as an X3 sport that looks like this:

I'm not sure what i saw, it didn't look that remarkable from the front, but it definitely had an arced roof line from the side. It was not a box top like the pictures above.

This is what I saw - it even had similar lines on it.
