X3/X4 2024 BMW X3

[SCOTT27]

As the evidence is slowly unveiled. A new render appears.

The Kidney grille lower edge is slightly inwards compared to the X1 placement here.
It’s like the XM concept previewed the new X look especially the shard of the headlights connecting to the grilles edge.

Except for the grille, is this anywhere close? Seems several people have already seen it in closed room presentations and probably also the journalists that drove the prototype last week I suppose.

Ynguldyn's update on B57:

'X3 40d xDrive will still be offered in the G45 body. It will be more like the current 30d but with a power bump to 280hp.'

So M40d xDrive?

So M40d xDrive?

I think this 40d is the same 40d that appears on the G70 740d and upcoming G60 540d. An upgraded 30d, but not the full 40d that available on the X5, X6 and X7.

30e xDrive ️

I think it's not that bad. Body is a bit lumpy like the iX but the front end is way better than the 5er and 1er.

The side profile and character line are very iX-esque. The M50 will definitely have a different grille pattern compared to the typical standard line and M Sport package if we are looking into BMW's recent M Performance models like the i5 M60 and M135 with their horizontal grilles.

 

[MrRapp]

Bold. Curious to see M Sport.

I really wanted to see the fully loaded M50.

 

[Swiss_ZH]

not a fan of the kidney

 

[Centurion]

Finally an X3 generation that introduces new design details and doesn't cool dull at the front.

Yes M50 has the Horizontal bars.

The grill design with the diagonal bars ruins what would be a great looking SUV. I'd have one, but I'd pick a spec which comes without that kidney design.

Well luckily BMW these days have like three different grilles for the same car, so there's some hope left for you

IMO, the X1 is by far the best new design by BMW, and this new X3 could improve upon that even further. I do agree about the fugly graphics inside the grille, but the iX1 has that too and it's not a deal breaker, unlike the design of pretty much the rest of the new line-up.

Like what? It's a bigger X1
