I wonder why the next X5 and the new X6/X-Sport share the same model code of E70 though. This alone makes me doubt the authenticity of this document.

and it's interesting to see that the new m3 will run from late 06 all the way through 2012. isn't that pretty long run for any series from bmw? the e90 will run through 1012 as well, that's a good 7 yrs

Turns out to be a BMW's doc to its suppliers, thanks to a blogger at AutoSpies for pointing this out.
