I'm gonna say it's an improvement from the current X3, which I dislike. But I still think it could look better. It seems to lack that rugged character, something the X5 definitely has.
 
1 i love ur avatar lol.
2. x3 is meh. could look a lot better. something more streamline. sexier. sportier. this is just like the other model pretty much
 
Doesn't blow me away but the silver one looks nice. Inside is a massive upgrade over the e46 based current X3. I still like the looks of a few other small SUV's better (Like the GLK) but X3's just drive so damn well..
 
J'adore les BMW, finition intérieur, technologie et tout, je trouve qu'ils ont vraiment une coche aux dessus des autres les allemands, et ce sans dénigrés les japonaises ou américaines.
 
Ca ne ressemble à rien. Il ne fait ni sport ni 4x4, et les traits stylistiques propres à la marque sont un peu édulcorés, ca fait un peu copie coréenne.
Meme si je suis contre l'idée, je préfère un suv soit au look sport comem la x6, ou bien vraiment un look plus de 4x4, ce qui n'empeche pas le luxe et le raffinement. Par exemple la gamme Range rover est racée, belle, plein de luxe, mais toujours efficace hors route.

We’ve been hearing about it for years, and now the second-generation BMW X3 has arrived for the 2011 model year. Offered in two model options, there’s an xDrive28i model with BMW’s traditional inline-six making 240-hp and 230 ft-lbs of torque, as well as an xDrive35i model using the company’s single turbo N55 straight-six to make 300-hp and 300 ft-lbs of torque. BMW claims the 28i model will hit 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, while the top-tier 35i model will do the sprint in an incredibly fast 5.5 seconds.

Improved acceleration and fuel economy (although no numbers have been released) are also the result of a new 8-speed automatic transmission, operated via BMW’s joystick-style gear shifter.

In terms of size, the 2011 X3 has grown a reasonable amount, even if it looks mostly identical to the outgoing model. The new (F25) X3 is 3.36-inches longer, 1.1-inches wider and provides roughly half an inch of extra ground clearance. Interior room has been increased with 19 cubic feet of rear cargo space and 56.6 cu-ft with the rear seats folded flat.

A new third-generation xDrive system now features Performance Control, that not only allows for power to be split front-to rear with up to 80 percent distributed to the rear tires, but also side-to-side in the rear, helping reduce understeer and drive like a proper BMW.

Also of note is the inclusion of BMW’s Driving Dynamics Control selector, that allows for three different settings (Normal, Sport and Sport Plus) to adjust the throttle response, transmission shift points, steering assist, stability control and suspension firmness.

The interior is typically BMW with a Spartan take on luxury, while the easy-to-use fourth-generation iDrive system features a huge 8.8-inch LCD screen.

Design changes you can see for yourself in the massive gallery of photos below, with a more slab-fronted design in keeping with the rest of the new BMW lineup, with larger kidney grilles and LED lights can be found out back.

The front looks like a cartoon.

And why do you need 8 speeds on an I6? (Besides to help you get a low highway fuel consumption.)
