The all-new BMW X3 has been leaked just two days before the scheduled release. These images were revealed by French magazines and also by the official website of BMW Hong Kong. The photos reveal that the new X3 will be available xLine, M Sport and Luxury Line trim variants.
Some of the new and notable features are the “three-dimensional†massive kidney grille, sleek hexagonal headlights that end just before the outer edge of the kidney, upright nose, redesigned and more aggressive lower bumper, LED taillights with 3D look, sloping roof spoiler, and the exclusive Pythonic Blue color for the X3 M40i and the M Sport Package.
The interior has higher quality materials and finishes so it looks more elegant than the predecessor. The M Sport package also adds an M Sport steering wheel, BMW Individual headlines, aluminum trim and M logos for the cabin.
The X3 M40i is the top model with 360 horsepower and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft of torque) from a 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 0 to 62 mph time is rated at 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. BMW will also offer an X3 xDrive20d, xDrive30d, xDrive20i and xDrive30i models.
