those headlight chops are HIDEOUS.

So much wrong information! Funny.

these are claimed to be the interior shots of 2010 X3,
found them from bimmerfest.com
Also dimensions should be pretty close to E53 which is perfect, I think E70 is too big. New BMW X3 to be unveiled at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show

The pictures you posted are from a E61 5-series touring mock-up interior BMW had done a while back and they have been on internet for over a year. These are NOT new X3 pics. Sorry.

You can see new X3 at 2010 Detroit Auto show in January

New renderings.

Oh my god that's gonna take some getting used to... especially the hugh F01 style grills in the front. And I guess that's BMW's favorite style of tail lights at this pont in time so everything gets them.

Auto Bild's CGI

Those CGI shot headlights look nothing like the ones from the post a couple up from it... and if I know BMW, the headlights will more resemble the ones in post 36 with the satin silver brows they like using for some reason. I don't care much for that style myself.

That interior would make me buy an Audi, and I HATE audis. Something about burning up. Hope its a bad chop, even for the F10. The buttons look like they're on a large button phone. Yuck!

I'm also not too fond of the new bulbous headlights... The only ones now I even like are the X6 / X5m's and the LCI E90. Whats with BMW these days?!
