Autospies caught these glimpses of a covered new generation BMW X3 shell while attending an event at BMW's Spartanburg facilities for the X5/X6 M models. It makes sense to see the new X3's shell at Spartanburg since production is being shifted to the South Carolina plant from Magna Steyr in Austria (which until now has been the outsourced factory responsible for assembling the X3). Word is that the new X3 will debut in 2010 at the NAIAS.
