EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS- 001 takes the new BMW X5 to the Biltmore Estate

One of the can't miss places on earth is the spectacular, grand and beautiful Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.

Agent 001 took advantage of the proximity of the estate to take in all its majesty and beauty when he took the new 2007 BMW X5 for a little road trip.

Enjoy the photos....

Do we really need all the pictures of the buildings??

No, but 001 fixed a huge flaw-- they don't take any time to load!

It's great!

X5 is very good-looking... not groundbreaking, but I didn't want them to change it much anyway. The current model still looks moderately fresh.

Amazing pics 001-thanks!
The more I look at the new X5, the I love it.
The best looking car soon-to-be on the market.

Just wondering, are the brake and tail lamps LED? I can't tell.

I believe just the tail-lights are LED's. I love the bars of LED's BMW puts inside their tailamps. You can always tell at night if it's a Bimmer or not.

I have to disagree w/ all the posts here. It has gone from being, IMO, the most sporty and aggressive SUV on the market w/ a truly positive stance to being a middle-of-the-road, pleasant if not boring vehicle.

I would presume a blue oval badge on this thing if I didn't know it had a prop.

Sorry BMW, you lost me...

Must see in person, you can't judge by the pictures.

I love the car, but why can't BMW have a real push to start button, what's with that stupid card to be inserted first?

Im not 100% sure but I think there is a Keyless Start/Stop Option Available, Think it is called Comfort Access or Something

Yes, I95. "Comfort Access" is available on almost all the BMWs; I don't think you can get it on the Z4, though, or the E46 M3.

However, I'm not a huge fan. It's just a redundant feature that's of no use to anyone, unless they are unable to fit the key in the ignition.

And yet, it's still cool on Astonts.

Yes, I95. "Comfort Access" is widely available across BMW's lineup.

However, I'm not a huge fan. It's just a redundant feature IMHO that's of no use to anyone.

But it is cool on Astons.

Bitmore Estate? A Land Rover driving school. Where are the boulder and rock crawl pictures?
