X4 based on X3 which is based on old 3 series

Hi!

Why isn't the new X4 based on the the new 3 series platform (F30), instead of being based on the X3 which is based on a 10 year old car (E90)?

How much is left of the old 3 series in the X4?

No. Latest X3 {F25} and Latest 3 {F30}series share the same platform - both are F series chassis.
And, the new x4 {F26} is based on the F25 X3.

If it were true, which will not, that the X3 is based on the E series, they should have called it a E25 in the first place :P

The F-25 and F-26 do not share any of the framework. They are similar in design but are built on totally different lines and parts as far as underbody framework.
