The new-for-2011 BMW X3 has finally been revealed, and it looks exactly as one would expect it to look. It is longer, wider and taller than the old model, but its exterior and interior hold no surprises. It looks like BMW has at once chosen to release it with its larger 6-cylinder engine offerings, saving the smaller 4-cylinder engine choices for later.
As ridiculous as it sounds, BMW has released photos of their all-new 2011 X3 crossover prototype undergoing testing in full camouflage. The official ‘spy shots’ show a larger vehicle than the one being replaced, although still likely in the compact category.
Shown here is what the 2010 BMW X3 is expected to look like, as rendered by a German magazine. The 2010 X3 will have a lower roof height than the current model, and will follow the X5’s rounded styling theme. It will debut by the end of 2009.
