If this turns out to be accurate I don't understand the cut line of the hood. The direction BMW seems to be taking with new models like the 7, 5, Z4, 5GT and X1, is the cut line for the hood being higher up over the kidney grills, not right on top of them as in the past.

I don't understand why they wouldn't carry this design language over to the X3. That front end looks dated compared to the new model designs.
