X3 facelift due this fall. New taillights and other cosmetic changes as competition from MB, Audi, VW, and Acura steams up.

I was going to buy the X3 but hated the black bumpers. I'm starting to like the matching bumpers...

While I like the matching bumpers, I'm just not feelin' the look.

I like the current 06 with matching paint but still has an X look too it but as always... Just my .02 cents

That look just isn't doing it for me; it's beginning to look too station wagon like. I prefer the current look.

Is it a trick of the light, or are the bumpers in the photos plastic? By that I mean they have a matte look that looks like textured plastic molded in colored that matches the paint, rather than painted like the current 3.0.

Not feelin it......I can take either black or painted bumpers depending on exterior color, but those foglights are very misplaced.

The back is OK, but not feeling the front. For my mysticblue, I still prefer the two tone look. But that's just me.

:iagree:

I like the clay color!

Get a load of this line from the article the pics came from on WorldCarFans:

While BMW is about to launch a facelift of its best seller X3 by the end of this year, a large number of rivals are waiting to dethrone the current market leader.

"best seller"? "current market leader"? Sounds impressive...
