Nice job, this is a huge improvement over the current x3 imo. The only thing missing is the detail over the lower air intakes, those are sure to be silver. Probably similar to the middle section. It seems most models are getting some sort of silver highlight on the lower air intakes.

Headlight detailing is too dated compared to modern standards, and the bumper is too plain. Great rendering skills as usual though.
I'm sure the actual product will turn out alright, but it won't surprise anyone.

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.

for sure it will not look like this. it's nowhere in the new bmw line of design. A friend from the BMW factory in Regensburg told me that it will look more than actual x5 ... he is not allowed to give me any details,... |

Pontiac!
The front looks more pontiac than a BMW...
The original X3 (pre LCI) was terrible. This looks just as bad. The X1 looks better than this... Looks aside, I leased an X3 for 2 years and it drives far better than any American SUV I know of, far better in the SNOW especially.

I was pleasantly surprised at what a hit the current one is. I see them everywhere.... my brother in-law and his wife even picked up a new 2010 and they love it.
BMW really carved a nice niche in this market and if the price point is as great as the current expect to see droves of them again.

It's ugly as shit. Looks like something Korean, as others have said. It fits nowhere in the lineup now, this design is hideous.

I think that we'll see something a little bit different to headlights when the car will be released...
Otherwise they've done a very bad looking car... and I don't understand the reason.. |

Good point, it makes me question his whole story. Maybe they didn't really buy one, maybe they don't really love it, maybe he doesn't really see them everywhere! The credibility is really out the window if you ask me...
