No only minor changes for 2013- I think a redesign is coming in 2014 though. I'm in suburban Washington DC (MD). They had a $1,000 BMW "Drive for America" discount, a $4,500 "eco" discount and then the dealer discounted too (they had a $1,500 loyalty "discount" and added greatly to that). The cost of the car to us was actually below the invoice price. Also we still need to apply BMW CCA discount which is $1,000 I think. We got one of the last 2012s- have only had it a week now. The problem was one dealer said they would do it and I shopped their deal (without naming them of course); turned out they couldn't get an allocation and the other dealer (who was actually $300 higher) did.

I really wanted an X6 V8 or a Cayenne S but that would have been $20K more- it made no sense. Very glad we got this instead. This is our third X5.
