X3 facelift (pics inside)

Looks like the X3 is finally going to get its mcuh rumoured early f/l. The story details a much better cabin, hopefully up to the level of the X5, or E90 at least. Looks much better, even with small changes.

We can ecpect similar front & rear bumper design to the new X5. I guess upper part to be painted, lower not - like on current X5.

Also BMW have said (van Hooydonk in AutoBild interview) they learnt a lesson puting not as quality materials in the interior - and would solve the problems in the future MY models or at facelifts. So I believe X3 interior will be further improved.

Looks very good, and it looks more X5 like, which is good. Nice changes.

Painted bumpers and better interior is exactly what the X3 needed.

And I even like the new 6-series...although I hated it when I first saw it.

i guess i would have to say that i triple sign that or something
At first i didnt like the x5 when i was first getting into cars because back then i liked american cars and it didnt fit the image. But now i look atthe X5 and see how beatiful it is. But i dont think i can ever think that about the X3

I swear it looks uglier

Do the current X3's have painted bumpers as the car's body? I've only seen X3's with black bumpers, but the other day I saw a blueish one with painted bumpers as the car's body and I thought it looked good. BMWUSA has some nice pics of the X3 with painted bumpers
