Not a fan .. I was kinda expecting more after seeing the X2 concept ... I'd take the Merc GLC over this one

[KPD]

Really like it overall. Specially the bigger front grills (similar to F48) and those tail-lights (an homage to E83).

Not sure about the headlights though. They remind me of those nasty vile F20/F21 headlights before the facelift . Was hoping for a much more aggressive and angry look like the new F48.

1 series meets X1, disappointed why are Bimmers designs so stale these days..

[KSERGEI-BY]

I like what I see in this photos. A lot. Good job, bmw

[Bimar]

You can thank me later...

I wonder what the base price of the m40i will be?

It would be great if it's only 2%-3% more than current 35i X-drive but I have a feeling it may be more.

[ObsidianX]

Looks great! I had a black with terra-cotta leather E83. The pics bring back good memories. I may be looking to grab a M40i in a few years for my wife. Good job on the design.

Styling just doesn't move the game on I won't be trading my current X3 for one.

I think it looks great, especially that blue color! Nothing wrong with the front end IMO, and I'm super glad they didn't connect the headlights to the kidney grill. The rear end looks awesome, especially the taillights.

I think I may buy this and then in about 4-5 years get into a X3M.

The exterior looks really good. Need to see the base models next after the launch cars. Sometimes I think that with certain colors the Xs look better with the black trim.

It's ok. Too bad ok is not enough these days..competition got pretty stiff.

I miss the times when BMW was actually pushing design limits of its time..ahead of competition..now it's just "any other" car manufacturer..and tbh, I doubt it'll drive any better than the macan, for those hoping that it will be good in at least something, other than hauling stuff and being confortable.

And the X4 will have the same front.

But that's nothing we didn't expect, so no big deal here.

[kimble.lionel]

X3 looks very good.Can't wait to see the final specs and more interior pictures.

[pokerface]

Bigger X1 rather than a small X5. Not sure how I feel about that front end yet. Nice to modernize that interior though

[m34m]

I like the angularity of the front and rear of my current X3 who's design is spot on IMO. This is nice but very X1 like. Yet another BMW product with inappropriate use of the M logo and brand. The watering down continues.

Yes, that's right, the XC60 and Q5 have really "raised" the bar. Remember where the X3 came from, the E83... this is a princess compared to the original. And the F25 got alot og critics for it's interiour, this is 5 series quality, so alot og bad things have Been corrected imo!
let's see what kind of colours it will be released with.

I think you've hit it right on. Nothing unexpected or daring here. I don't think this model brings anyone over to the brand. "Just enough" I suppose.

It's nice (but not unexpected) to see the 5 and 7 tech trickle down. Is that the larger 10.3" iDrive screen?

[ska///235i]

Dont love it but dont hate it...its ok

[spuntyb]

Hmmm...if I squint, I almost see a proper wagon.

I was thinking the same thing. Close as we're going to get in the US...

To each their own...GLC looks like every other jelly bean out there today imo.

GLK was at least something that stood-out from the heard, and in a good way,

[unrulyteach]

The front is certainly different

[midwest 340xi 6sp]

Looks more athletic, less pedestrian. We'll wait to see in real world...M40i probably plenty of giddy-up for me. I wouldnt have to wait for the real "M" to be satisfied.

Sick to death of all the jelly bean SUV's out there. All the same hp, all the same nannies, all the same early autonomous crap.

Now the question for me is how much did they update a dowdy interior in need of a major upgrade?

• Multicountour seats?
• Nappa and San Merino Leather Options
• Dash and control materials
• Levels and quality of stitching?
• Trim Options and level of trim (i.e. real carbon fiber etc.)

If they didnt check many or most of these boxes? They havE NO chance of getting my future crossover business. If I even go cross-over.
