Hello,
Want to replace my 2019 G01 next year, and I'm wondering if the new G45 will have the comfort seats option. You have any info on that?
Right now I'm torn 60% in favor of X5 because of the comfort seats, but size and agility are in favor of X3. Would be perfect to get comfort seats in X3.
Thanks

Next Gen 2025 BMW X3 (G45) Spied!

According to our future models info thread by ynguldyn , we know the following so far about the G45 X3 and G46 X4.... [as of 9/7/23]

G45 X3

• In production 08/24-10/33
• This is the traditional X3 with gas, diesel, and hybrid versions. The full EV role is going to the Neue Klasse. There will still be X3M (G97).
• Potential model names: X3 20, X3 20 xDrive, X3 20d xDrive, X3 30 xDrive, X3 30e xDrive, X3 40d xDrive, X3 M50 xDrive.
• Intro models: Worldwide 30ex, M50x, and two of the non-M gas or diesel (tbd); US 30x and M50x.
• No new engines, making a step up in luxury (standard comfort access, optional Iconic Glow exterior like on the next 5 series, fancier interior materials, driver aids matching the current X5 - also means no L3 autonomy, the best audio is still HK, ID8 dash).
• M50x specifics: standard M Sport suspension (adaptive optional), standard Iconic Glow, 20" wheels, and the usual M interior and exterior parts.

G46 X4

• Start of production: 12/25
• Will be available with all types of drivetrains but will focus on electric motors and hybrids. There will still be X4M (G98).

It looks like a CR-V Touring

We have a M40 2022 and I will be waiting for the new class platform.

Headlights are very Jaguar

I think the roofline looks to low. In the second photo it looks very much like the first generation X1. It is also reminds me of the Skoda Enyaq.

i have no idea why... but it gives of a very front wheel driveish vibe

[beammeupscottie]

Anyone with renderings based on these spy shots with camo?

[GuyOh]

Please BMW, don’t fuck up the x3 like you have the new 7er and 5er

[Xtabi]

Any insight for the sop for the new X3M?

[cfm56d7b]

Will defer observations until production vehicle can be driven.

How'd they decide to put nicer DRL's in an X3 over an X5 or even an M3/M4?

Yes, it gives off that vibe. It also has a small back window.

They update all of their models in 6-7 years cycles as always.

Promising.

Looks like a larger 2023 X1 and that would be a very good thing, since IRL the new X1 is quite nice looking both interior and exterior and a big upgrade from earlier versions.

BMW should introduce 3 row seats in X3 and X5 models if they don't want to lose more customers to Tesla, and Asian brands

Thanks for sharing, Jason. Looking forward to some video of the G97 on the Ring. The base (tag 4085) c/w presumed M-Performance version (tag 4072) shows the big difference in appearance with wider rear tires. And also adding a view without rails.

The original poster stated no engine changes but do most here believe it will least have the TU2 update of the B58 with port and direct injection, miller mode for improved mpg etc.

Yes. I love the side profile in these pics. I NEVER thought I’d entertain an X3. I had one as a loaner and even the base 30i was impressive to me. Felt way bigger than I expected.

Based on these side profile pictures, if the M50 comes with some upgraded seating and interior options in the US, it may be my next target in a few years. I’m quickly becoming a new fan of this model!

X3 doesn’t have room. They tried that in the X5 before and I don’t think many bought them with a third row. Again, just not enough room. Lexus failed at this with the RX and had to just build a longer model to accommodate. If I need three rows, I’ll just buy an X7 (which I did and it’s wonderful).

The third row is selling well for the X5, but it requires to have the air suspension because of the additional weight, and due to the parts shortage and the X5 45e/50e requiring air suspension it was removed as an available option in the US.
