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 got a hint long ago (April 13, 2005):

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.

Re: facelift for X3 (pic inside)

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

Re: facelift for X3 (pic inside)

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

Re: facelift for X3 (pic inside)

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

Re: facelift for X3 (pic inside)

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
