F25 X3:Official press release with 220 pics

[M3_WC]

Let me guess, the sliver reflector in the headlights will be orange on the US models.

Way to screw US buyers, impossible to get rid of the ugly orange reflector.

So that's 220 photos of hoping, wait, no, praying, that it looks better in person. Then again at least it no longer looks like it's made of legos.

Nice set of pics/info, LM!
Helluva load-up, though...

No design xpert here, but it's not bad. Looks much better in
the "silver" vs the red, imo.

That black plastic strip on mid lower rear is very odd, imo.
The 3/4 rear view looks like a Sorrento from a glance.
Hey, a start/stop button! How did we get by without one
for the past 5+ decades?!
Bigger ain't better, and the price may be breathtaking...
and, agree w/JCL: they need to bring diesel here.

The M version looks Titz, esp in Blanco.



Sorrento-like look, and the tail light guys musta been on break.

wait, wait, wait... was that... a... manual!!?

Would be nice if that was available here / with more oomph than a 20d.

Why not a 23d?

M-Sport looks better but the lights still suck.

How about a 40d with a manual...THAT would be sweet

I agree! Or, even the smaller diesel (3 something?), with 6 spd...
I think BMWNA has defaulted to the Biff&Buffy car
buying crowd.

I had a very early look at the non-camo finished vehicle (March '09) and thought the headlights looked bland. After seeing these in person (and in all colors and models) for a while, I decided they fit the 'image' of the X3. The design must immediately say this is still an X3 (it does) and it must not be the most flashy design in the X family. I now think they are just about perfect.
