  | Re: BMW X3 Model Year 2009 It still remains really ugly car, nothing can help here! I really can't understand how other BMW cars are so better designed and look more sleek and smooth..This is just bad, it looks retarded, design of the headlights doesn't really fit the lines of the car. And it is starting to look very boxy somehow, especially comparing it to X6 for example. BTW, what is really XDrive? I wasn't really too much into these things lately, sorry for my ignorance! |

| Re: BMW X3 Model Year 2009 I suppose the X5 models will be changing their names to XDrive something as well. Alas, the new X3 look still does nothing to/for me. I'm sure it will still sell though.

Yep. Same will happen with Z4: although it will wear sDrive badge instead. Y5 (PAS) will follow the same pattern: with sDrive, or xDrive. Also the core models are losing "x" & "s" in the names. xDrive / sDrive badge will be there instead. eg. 530d xDrive 335i xDrive Z4 sDrive35i X5 xDrive35d | |

| Re: BMW X3 Model Year 2009 ^ So the new xDrive badge will then be below '335i' or '335d'? Or only on the side?

There's "xDrive" badge on the side only. Usually below the side blinker. So ... eg.: 335i on the back, sDrive on the side 530d on the back, xDrive on the side X5 on the back, xDrive30d on the side Z4 on the back, SDrive35i on the side  "hDrive" will indicate mild-hybrid, "ActiveHybrid" is a full-hybrid designation. "eDrive" signals electric drive. I'm hearing next 1er will offer eDrive stuff - yet no info whether this will be production or test-promotion vehicles only. | |

1. The Q5 is a scale down version of one of the ugliest cars on the road today; the Q7. Hence, many things can be said about is but pretty aint one of them. 2. The GLK is, like I have said before, a transvestite version of the wonderful Geländewagen.  3. The X3 looks plain retarded. 4. The XC60 at least looks like a Volvo. Im not really a fan of Swedish cars in gereral or Volvo in particular but they have got a few of them right. So, looking better than the german trio is not that hard. Come to think of it, the XC60 looks a bit like the Nissan Qashqai...
