Excellent. Thank you for sharing, Jason.

Now we need to find someone inSC who can sneak in and capture some photos

I have high hopes for this new platform, especially the x3 m40i.

It has some stiff competition with the SQ5 and GLC43 AMG. BMW better not disappoint on this one!

Can't wait to see it. Should be able to be competitive in the segment.

Im gonna bet bimmerpost is ahead of you there?

X3m and x3m40 look interesting ...

I hope it will have a decent weight 😊

I own a 2012 X3, will definitely be interested in seeing this.

I'm shopping for a fun SUV, looking forward to it.

Looking forward to this. Might be my next family hauler

I guess I have an idea on how it will look like outside

slightly bigger that the X1.

This a leak or a render? Looks quite real. Now let?s see the x3m

Can you name the magazine these were taken from please? I believe these are likely just renders, but it is difficult to know for sure.

We are at least a year away from being shown the X3 M.

I do not have this information, but these are either official BMW photos or press studio photos, as magazines are often shown the vehicles in advance for their press release to be ready by the time of the reveal. It does say official photos on one picture.

While these may very well be actual photos, the above means almost nothing with regard to the veracity of these pictures. Magazines use that type of language all the time with absolutely no regard for the actual legitimacy of their content. Hence why I would be interested to know the name of the magazine. If it is generally reputable when it comes to stories like this (some very much are, some very much are not), that would be good to know.

I can almost begin to make out what looks like part of the magazine's title in the first picture, but I am not familiar enough with publications in France or other French speaking countries to come up with it. It looks like an M preceded by either a D, B, or 3. Google wasn't a big help in this area either, unfortunately. Perhaps someone else can figure it out, if that text is indeed a portion of the magazine's title as it appears it might be.

A Google image recognition search also turns up no hits.

I'm afraid those letters simply stand for 'BMW' on the magazine's cover, as the publication seems to have prepared a dossier regarding future BMW SUVs (we can also see a front bit of a photoshop which appears to represent an X7 or X5). We'll soon have official pics anyway.

I'm convinced these are actual photos from the high realism and perfect details (21" mention on tire profile, same alternate front / rear wheel spoke orientation from all angles except that it seems to have rolled a bit in the studio in between photos), and the same general feeling as on your usual studio photos (like for instance when the very first pics of a red 4 Series emerged) or press studio photos (AutoBild...).

Ha - good catch! I should have been able to come up with that. I was too focused on it being the name of a more general automotive publication.

Weird looking from these pictures.

I was never a fan of the x3 styling so I'm hoping they can change my mind because I would love to get a BMW over say an Audi Q5. If it looks like a baby x5 I will be happy, but I have a feeling it'll look like a bigger x1, which I'm not hoping for.

It's not a secret anymore how it will look, haven't you seen the video?
