no news yet. there have been some mules spotted running around, but the concept hasn't been released, and there hasn't been any news lately. i would imagine they're concentrating the news on the new Z4 & 7 series, and the imminent release of the X1. after this, we'll start hearing some news about the X3 and 5 Series.

i've got a feeling that the next X3's going to be carrying the engine lineup of the new Z4, mainly the current, carryover N52 (260hp) and the N54 (300hp), being a top-of-the-line engine.
BMW released news the other day that the expansion of the Spartanburg plant was complete, so i would imagine we'll start seeing X3 mules out and about in the near future. the upgrade cycle is coming up, and it's time to see some progress on this, because we've only seen a couple of heavily camo'ed mules, and lifted E90 mules (a while ago). one thought i had the other day... now that BMW has expanded the ///M lineup to the X5's and X6's, displaying the next-generation ///M5 engine, do you think BMW would have the balls to try the same thing with the X3? an X3 ///M, with the next gen ///M3's engine???
