Weight looks to be about 50lbs more which isn't too bad. But was hoping for a small drop in weight even with the small increase in size.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, but this thing is still ugly, and anonymous. The way the belt line kicks up past the C-pillar is typical of most cheap, ugly CUV's. BMW needs to hire some designers from Audi or Porsche. Or even Kia.

yeah looks like 47 lbs more. But engine may weigh a bit more (guessing), and the 19" standard wheels probably add some weight to the old 18" standard M wheels. don't forgot about the standard backup camera too the 28i vs new 30i is only a 6 lb difference! overall I was hoping for a slight drop in weight since they always talk about new lightweight materials they are using. size increase is negligible. |

Generally like it. I do think the Grill Size to Headlight Size ratio is a bit off. Grilles are too large and in your face in my honest opinion

Yeah... it is almost 14% higher... Words "performance" and "sport" usually mean additional effort regarding aerodynamics as well. In this case it is more like installing random "spoilers" from e-bay and doing more harm than good.

If I can lease this for under $650 a month full loaded with $5,000 out of pocket. I AM DOWN!!! The new X3M lease will be about $900 a month and will be a reach for a new home owner.
This new X3 is a beauty though. Im sure the B58 will shine... |

I really don't care what is standard in a Toyota or Lexus because I do not like their vehicles and would never consider any of their products. |

The only thing I don't like about the new X3 are the silver buttons throughout the interior. I hate the look of the shiny silver buttons and think it makes the interior look very cheap. I will reserve final judgement until I see it in person, but if they look anywhere near as bad as they do in the photos, it will cause me to write off the new X3 and pick up an SQ5 instead.

Edit: I stand a bit corrected. Audi does come standard with some features similar to Lexus but not all that lexus offers as standard. Last edited by BMW F22; 06-26-2017 at 02:19 PM.. |

Not bad.. not bad at all. I actually quite like it. It'll be a hard decision between this, the Audi SQ5, and Porsche Macan next year for the wife.

SERIOUSLY? This is the best BMW could come up with? Been there done that front end look from the M140i?! Which looks frumpy and god awful. And now they're also sharing more parts than ever before, such as the exact same lower dash board and glove box from the G30 5-series which indicates cost cutting to maximize profits.
I REALLY hope BMW doesn't continue this front end trend into the rest of their X-models for the new generation X5 and X7. If so then they have lost a BMW customer after having purchased 14 different BMW's in my life. BMW seriously get it together. Last edited by BimmerGuyFL78; 06-26-2017 at 01:39 PM.. |

The tires look REALLY skinny on this thing...and there's something "off" about the relationship between the headlights and the grill...
Not feeling it from these pics, but perhaps it will look better in person. And is it still on shipping blocks? I know it's an SUV, but damn that's some intense wheel gap. It almost looks like they put the wrong body on this chassis. Very strange stance.

Big alloys and aggressive bumpers is what sell. Nowadays SUV have skinner tyre profiles than a Ferrari 360 Moderna had in 1999.
