Wait, so how is this different from an X3? It's also just something that sits between an X1 & X5, no?

I think the x3 non sloping roofline adds a fair amount of size / practicality to make it a viable smaller alternative to the x5.

X6 is already a comprised roofline - less boot space and rear seat headroom compared to the x5.
So the x6 is somewhere btw the x3 and x5 and therefore gives you the look and still good practicality.

The x4 is then even less than the x3. So I just don’t really see the point. It’s getting too small. Again this is all just my opinion. Take with grain of salt. Yours might be different

Personally, I never cared for the even number X's, as they the seem to look funny and have less room while costing more, but it seems to me like they go inline with the odd numbered X's. Maybe I'm behind times

The more I look at these recent videos the better I feel about the way it's going to look vs. the new X1.

Is the g97 x3m coming out this year?

[ASAP]

what sort of power can we expect on M50x? i doubt it would be over current 382 as no 3 series type BMWs less true Ms have over 400

That was my feelings always when getting into the x3 or driving one it felt like a wagon the new one looks more like a wagon . The x5 never felt that away

It's doubtful. They don't release the M model immediately when a new platform comes out.

at least a year after the G45 is revealed.

Although it's still early, I look forward to learning more about any suspension updates. To be continued ...

C pillars looks thiccc, they changed profile quite a bit. Looking forward to it.

Nice to see the Halo Sword tails are gone, always were a bit too strong of a design element for the car that was otherwise rather calm looking.

Now BMWs all look like the range of 911s (in that a base 911 and turbo 911 hardly look any different)

Marketing trick!

Maybe they’ll change the front MacPherson strut to a double wishbone suspension? Then we’ll be happy!

We will? Would almost anyone know the difference?

Most would feel an improvement, but wouldn't know that it's because of the double-wishbone suspension of course.

V6? Which one would that be, please?

[Romax]

Interesting to know if there will be rear wheel steering?

[bavarianboar]

Don’t mess up the tail lights BMW. No X2 style. Make it look like a handsome vehicle. Handsome isn’t Hyundai, read it again.

Hi everyone, do you that x3 m50i will debut in Europe only as PHEV? If so that would be quite disappointing. This would be however similar to the 5 series, which currently only offers 4 cylinder engines, and inline 6 will be a phev only.

What do you guys think?

[Mii]

BMW please bring pure ICE version on next gen X3M!
