Sat, 06 Feb 2010BMW is sprucing up its X5 SUV with range of cosmetic updates and engineering tweaks. Read on for our handy guide to how to spot the new 2010 X5 and what is new under the metal.How will I tell the new 2010 X5 apart from the old one?The headlamps on the X5 are new, the foglights move, air vents swell like a panting athlete's nostrils and the front bumpers have more body colour and fins in matt aluminium trim.Out back, new rear lights have BMW's now-trademark LED lighting bars emphasising horizontal lines of the X5.
