My Wife's white X-Line looks somehow better than my grey M-Sport.

Come on BMW I'm dying for an x3M not this m40i bullshit. Put the s55 from the f80 and these things will sell like hot cakes. It's embarrassing you can't get a true m engine in this platform. I would be the first one to get an x3 m if they just listened. Save the M badges for real m cars, 360 horsepower is child's play

Definitely agree but the launch picture Xs are riding on 21s which won't be good for me in the city

Seriously you nailed it.

The X3M will be simply epic.

Also the upcoming 100% Electric X3 with xDrivE is going to rock the EV world.

Ok further review leads me to believe that's got to be a rendering. I guess I can stop and breathe.

I really hope so and have hope that this will do things that the 3 should have been doing, like the things you mentioned

That is fine except for the weird fog lights. Not sure what's happening there.

That being said, no matter what BMW I personally consider its M sport or bust...or M one day when I can afford it

I sure hope you're right. That is horrible. Unfortunately if you look at the images from page one there's a silver non M Sport on the picture with different headlights - looks like this one a bit. I guess we will find out. Or I guess I'll be ordering M Sport...

I like the blue one. The rear looks more round than I expected.

I love BMW, but you're blind if you think the front end of the RX/NX is more busy than this. The Lexus front end is pretty clean compared to the X3. There are way too many lines and countours on the front of the BMW imho, I like the current gen a little better tbh. But the new interior looks great.

LED fog lights moving forward and the slit is not great looking but more likely than not it is there for cooling purposes.

What's up with the front? Why does it have the old style when the lights doesn't touch the kidneys instead of the new one?

Interior and exterior look amazing, I'm impressed! It seems like they've decided to put all cool tech from 5 series in this car, I also happy that M40i will probably get a newer engine.

I am surprised to see the lights apart from the grilles - I like it. Very handsome and well proportioned. I see a lot of first-gen X3 int he rear window glass. They needed this to come out well to go up against the GLC, and with the M and M Performance versions I suppose they are taking swipes the the Macan and SQ5.

So far, so good.

Nice, an awesome upgrade compared to my 2012 X3. Love my X3 but I could love this even more with 360 ponies. Hmmmm.
