Based on recent spy photos of the new 2022 BMW X5 M model, a concept artist has rendered a very realistic, and potentially accurate, rendition of the vehicle changes. Although the exterior changes are minor compared to the 2021 model, the rendering shows updated headlights, a redesigned lower front end, and an added lip on the competition model.  In comparison, the majority of changes are reserved for the interior of the vehicle, and these updates include larger screens and a seamless curvature inspired design. No engine upgrades or modifications are expected, but several tech upgrades will certainly be showcased in the near future.  We look forward to the official reveal from BMW within the next few months. In the mean time, the concept render should satisfy your visual taste buds.
