agree. X3 probably has the worst design in the BMW line-up. and i dont understand the 4-seater X6 either. it's a great looking car but for the price of it and the mileage that comes along....sigh.

Current X3 looks like a failed E36 based concept (nothing against E36...). X6 is a stunning beauty, regardless of its oversize (in European view) |

M3 gets worse mileage than an X6 and has less utility. It depends on your needs I guess. One thing the X6 offers over the X3 or 3 series in general is a very smooth ride.

In my latest issue of Roundel, it shows an X1 unveiled at the Paris Motor show. It has the same Whale shark nose as the ugly new 7er
If the new X3 ends up looking like that, count me out.

Spied at Death Valley California
BMW seemed to be really slow on the X3 development front, almost as it emphasized more on X1 than X3! Many people already jumped ship due to lack of refreshment from X3. It's not a good idea to make the next X3 bigger toward the size of previous gen X5 (E53). Most people would want stylish, dynamic, powerful yet fuel efficient X3 models.
Here are some more shots from Death Valley California. Still not FEP apparently! |

Thanks for the photos!!!
They had better get this to market by spring, and extend my lease if they want to keep me as a X-Car customer. The Q5 is now on the hot list for a replacement. |

BTW the AUDI Q5 drives nice, but somewhat like a rolling couch. The Q5 engine is nothing like the x3, but considering X3 the replacement is months away, I'm not sure what the heck to do.

BMW needs to seriously focus on X3 as Q5 is a very good contender.
