Nice to see these updates. The roofline looks better along with a heavily upgraded Interior. I'm in for a X3M.

Wow. Looks like the engine size war may be replaced by the screen size war. 60 inch 4K in a few years??

All I can say is if this new X3/X4 is anything like our X5 I may consider adding a X3/4 M to our stable.

Please fix the interior quality. We are behind in terms of fit and finish to everyone in the category.

Hey looks like I can buy my original E53 with newer technology and new styling. Bravo BMW, I can downsize to what I had in 2004

I don't understand why they still use the "old fashion" TV-screen in a interior design for 2017!. Looks like an old TV from the 70s. Todays monitors do not need a thick frame or a "heavy" butt..... Anyway, it luckily looks better than the Merc monitors, from the 60's, pointing the wrong direction

Looking good!
I am not sure why BMW even bothers with camouflage because the exterior looks like a bigger F48 X1. The front has the LED unit and design from the F30 LCI 3 series, and the kidney grill will be big with design similar to the one on F48 X1. The signature X bumper fog/driving lights are guaranteed to be where they are on current X models. The side has the same look and feel as the F48 X1 with the sloping line stretching from the front wheels upward to the C pillar connecting to the brake light line. The brake lights have the modified L shape and look as the F48 X1. Don't get me wrong. I love the look of the F48 X1 and can't resist taking pictures of it every chance I have. I think G01 X3 will look stunning after BMW removes the camouflage.

The interior looks like what's in the current 3 series with a bigger iDrive monitor. That thing is huge!
I wish BMW would put a smaller version of the fronts seats in the X1 because the seats look much much better and more comfortable than what's in the X1 now.

I really don't get it, the current X3, F25 have sold well, very balanced car, boring inside yes.
But it's a premium SAV and with few problems and few downsides. The competition have struggled against the F25, yes the Macan is nice but the Jag...? Testing is shortly, but knowing LR/RR, it's basicly a Discovery sport twin, as such, not very impressive i think. One thing is paper specs, another thing is bringing SW and HW together. Tata does not have the resources and experience matching BMW in this area, not even close! As for the new X3, i expect a more high end interiour, but building upon it's core strengths, If so, it should do excellent, yet again. And it's basicly the model who hold it's price best, at least it's a fact in Norway, extremly popular package.

The biggest issue F-Pace will face is internal.
Especially against the Range Rover Sport. It will be a matter of status or preference.
