Seriously...
E46,E39, E86...They all looked so good back in late 90's to early 2000...
3,5,7,x5,z..aw man they all looked hot no matter what model you had.
But now, you have ugly ass LCI E92, hideous 5 gt, 7, 6, and now X3 tops it all up. OMG you can hardly get any nice looking cars from BMW anymore other than M3/X5 or soso looking 5.

Now hyundai tuscan looks better than this X3.

Now that Q5 is one nice looking SUV. If only they could get a better engine in it. How about a diesel with monstrous torque?

Thats what I want for my next SUV or maybe an X5. X5 is too big for my needs. The X3, I can't buy even if they put a Ferrari under hood. That is some ugly ass car probably designed by a carpenter.

It just seems odd. The two biggest oddities are the face and the side crease that swoops down. I think the X1 looks much better.

Great for an X3.. what were you guys expecting? No offence to anyone on this board but the 3 series sedan base model is not exactly a looker either.

Because of their design/shape.

Also, the E36 headlights look in no way similar.

q5 is just a gussied up Tiguan, and comparing an S-Line q5 to a base x3 is like comparing an s-line a4 to a base 328i...

M-Sport to S-Line, BMW wins IMO, the corona rings are attractive but not in your face like Audi's led lines in their headlights, I think it fits in quite well with the current BMW lineup.

Call it what you want but the Tiguan (Golf) and Q5 (A4) dont share platforms.There are some nice SLine cars, as well as M - Sport good and bad in both lines. The "new" LED corona rings own the day now, as they did when they were first introduced. Audi started the LED DRL's trend, and as with any trend things haved evolved. On some Audi models they still look good IMHO.

Right on man, about that chop line. I am surprised why not more people are bitching about this, I just can't stand it. Old design, when kidneys were part of the hood was so beautiful...X5 still has it.
X3 is acceptable from that point of view (don't like headlight too much). Overall mush better than Audi.

I guess I'm the crazy one. I really like the look. Much sportier looking, looks like stands a bit lower too. Overall much more round, which I prefer.
