First time seeing someone drive the new x3!

It's a short drive but you can finally see it in motion and hear the engine sound!

Agreed, looks great.

All new BMWs are unfortunately polarizing aesthetically but the exterior on these has really grown on me. That second video is gorgeous.

Probably its best angle and a decent colour, not the beige used in a lot of the promo stuff.

You mean massive body roll, a steering system that is not connected to the front wheels, and the engine note played through the speaker system?!?!?!?!

The G45 takes design cues from that other BMW hit the XM, which made it to a top 10 ugliest cars. 🤣

Remember people chose and spent money on the car in this chart. It’s great we have choice……

Similar to the new 5 series, the darker color is the best choice as it can to some extent mask the ugliness, lol.

i actually like the rear end. has a very modern interpretation of the G01/F97 LCI with influence from the iX. seeing it in motion does look better.

shame that the front end is a total miss.

Me too. I like the rear more than the front. Interior is just so so. I don't like the fabric dash. It would collect more dust.
