| The large off-roader market sector is very image-conscious, and whilst the BMW X5 has long been the 4x4 to be seen in - never mind its off-road ability - the latest Range Rover, the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg have all tempted buyers away. With further upcoming new rivals - Range Rover Sport, Audi Q7 - BMW is to update the X5 in early 2006. The second-generation model will be larger and more versatile, with a seven-seater interior option; it will feature all-new suspension, revised diesel engines and new petrol V8s. It will continue to be made in Spartanburg, North Carolina.
