- nickdanger3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4um.... those niches are why apple left...
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4And I bet you're the expert here, aren't ya? :-/ BMW is one of the best cars out there, so shut your trap.
- ravitek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4and with this flexray chip, the bmw x5 can exceed with performance in excess of 200 GFLOPS -- which equates to 200 billion floating-point operations per second. Totally killing the competition. Blu-ray drive optional
- dmurray14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3And while this is cool, they've been up to date with tech for a while. The 745, for instance, has two seperate fiber networks, one for media, and another for all body functions (airbags, locks, windows, etc)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2ugly only to those who could NEVER afford it.
- quarsaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The embedded systems market is a bit more than a "niche" and Freescale happens to be a huge player. Unless you don't consider 5.5 billion dollars in '05 revenue noteworthy.
- mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Now THERE is an SUV.
- HoboMaster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3No, it really isn't. Happens a lot. All to do with how many it got in a period of time.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They're both made by the same company, you dolt!
- mastercheif, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2And what container it is in.
- twollamalove, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1without question friend, but I don't believe that the X5 is really the focus of the article
- ph33rm3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@spyyder: I can afford your mom but it doesn't change the fact that she's ugly.
owned.
nuff said - kamilX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Next time actually click through the entire gallery. It IS the X5. And the performance model you speak of... is in fact the same one the article is talking about.
Here's proof: http://www.netcarshow.com/bmw/2007-x5_4.8i/800x600/wallpaper_0f.htm - biddessa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well... I've never thought it is for real.
- mgadalsky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Really good. This makes me smile. What all these features are needed for?
- kamilX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3For high rez shots of the 2007 BMW X3:

- jakk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0On another note, its nice to see Freescale finding new niches to rest in a post-Apple/PPC world
