2011 BMW X3 (F25) - OFFICIAL Info, Tech Specs, Wallpapers, Videos, Press Release

BMWI6 · 07-14-2010, 03:27 PM

Why doesn't the X3 xDrive35i have dual exhaust (one on each side)????? That makes the cars look SOOO much better.

LOL at the sand on the tires in the last 'shopped pic, but no tread marks on the beach.

..ha ha! maybe it slid backwards in 3/4 pose out of the ocean into the shot leaving the tracks hidden

ArabianSensation · 07-14-2010, 03:39 PM

Not a fan of those headlights...

So what's the chance of the 6-speed manual being offered in the U.S.? My wife's X3 is a manual and she loves it, won't buy a new one otherwise...

keanu1 · 07-14-2010, 03:57 PM

very good looking except the headlights!!The eyebrows look weierd!!

WhoU4 · 07-14-2010, 04:09 PM

BMW, psssst... Bring the Diesel to the US!

Ok I see the tread marks now....

Tallest · 07-14-2010, 04:21 PM

that front design is

and utterly boring. Ugly. Nice effort BMW (not). Interior looks like a Subaru too. This brand just can't get some cars right. I'm sure it will drive well.

rear looks ok and profile too.

illirep · 07-14-2010, 05:57 PM

they are going to get the car all sandy

BMW86 · 07-14-2010, 06:00 PM

Sweet! I can't believe they are putting the N54 into this beast! I wonder how much this is going to cost!

I'm quite impressed with how it turned out, definitely a more refined and sleeker finish than the old gen.

cap_freez · 07-14-2010, 06:07 PM

Amazing!!!!!!!!! Just beautiful

BMW86 · 07-14-2010, 06:36 PM

Hang on 1880kg? This thing is large! Needs a tune

M3_WC · 07-14-2010, 06:56 PM

Wow, they did a great job.

The last X3 was the ugliest bmw ever made.

Oulixes · 07-14-2010, 07:00 PM

I like the new X3. A few details look odd, but one gets used to the new style.

riguy · 07-14-2010, 07:39 PM

Sign me up!

Bimmerforlife · 07-14-2010, 07:43 PM

Wow, been waiting for these pics to surface. To be honest the rear looks great, in fact I think it looks "less" boxy looking in the rear, dare I say more curves? Yeah I really like the rear and side, however the front is good but those headlights hold it back from being great. Why did they make them like that, where is the signature eyelid like on the 3 series?

The interior looks great to me in fact the iDrive (without the hump) looks fantastic. I know this is a scan but that wood looks cheap too shiny and plasticky. I hope they offer aluminum or a nice grey wood.

Can't wait for tomorrow's pics.

Edit: Hey thanks for the videos. #2 video shows it has white electro illuminicent speedo, what happen to red signature BMW?

DASHOCKER · 07-14-2010, 08:17 PM

Nice job BMW!

The tan colored sport pack version looks great with the staggered wheels! I purchased my 06 & will think long & hard as to whether I should trade it in for this American built X3.

slog · 07-14-2010, 08:20 PM

A lot of fan boys in here.... Seriously, look at the car. It's bland, boring, and nothing special. Sure, it is an improvement of the current x3 but ANYTHING would be an improvement from that(style wise).

GAH, the headlights look so outdated. I would take a GLK over this any day of the year.

Bora20 · 07-14-2010, 08:26 PM

I like everything but the rear bumper. I am not fond of the large black strip, but the sport package will fix that.

Looks perfect for my LCI version that I will buy.

docjay · 07-14-2010, 08:42 PM

NICE!!!just wished they used stacked LEDs on the turn signal lights just like in the front and rear of the 3er.

Zirenz2006 · 07-14-2010, 08:53 PM

I like it but I wish they did the cut line of the hood higher off of the kidney grills like they are doing on other new models, F10, F01, X1, Z4.

I like that new design aspect and with many models going in that direction, this looks dated in that respect. IMO

I think the X1 is better looking.

uhn2000 · 07-14-2010, 09:34 PM

Stunning car.. my dad is first in line. Totally glad he waited instead of going for the current X3. Very nice and unique.
