The key differentiating points (X1 vs X3):

• Proportions: X1 looks very stretched - long looking body with looong & low hood, while X3 is more boxy - shorter looking body & shorter & higher hood.

• Tail lights: X3 still feature that provisional round LED tail lights all BMW prototypes feature initially.

• Grille: X3 has that typical extra air intake - between the kidneys and license plate holder, while X! has no such feature.

• Tailgate window: steeper on X1 than on X3 - also the complete rear is higher on X3.

• Rear door: X1 features that fake camo swoosh on the rear door, while X3 doesn't.

• Wheel arches: more squarish on X1, more rounded on X3.

And more ...




Btw, X1 looks big due its SAV shape - while proportions are stretched, and the hood looks very long - although the car is not tall at all. Yet it only seems so when compared with Z4 which is a sports car - and being extremely low by nature.
