X3/X4 BMW X3 (G01) - Spy Pics & Info

[SCOTT27]

Yes it is similar to that first 5er Touring F11 mule. Front end and chassis of the next generation everything current from the doors backwards.
We will see the actual production body before the end of the year.

Figured that much, thanks. The front is the only part that actually looks different. And dare I say much better already.
CLAR, weight loss and next gen interior styling as started by G11?

X3 leads the new design language for the X models! So they become sharper around the normally soft and contoured edges.
The X7 comes behind the X3 and then a new X4 and by then the first X2 also.

And when the x5 is getting a facelift? or not?

@ ENI, Dear
If you put both X3 side by side you can see it is a Carbon copy, also if you look at the front section it is broader than the rear which is the F25.

Is that the body of the old (current) X3? It looks virtually the same in the spy shots.

If you two guys are talking about the car in pics mickaBZH posted in post [HASHTAG]#39[/HASHTAG], then you two gotta be smoking something.

It's G01 original body - in pre-FEP phase. The difference in obvious compared to F25. But sure it's an evolutionary styling since the platform is the same.

A F25 mule with G01 front is what we saw here (post [HASHTAG]#31[/HASHTAG]): http://www.germancarforum.com/threads/bmw-x3-g01-spy-pics-info.49394/page-2#post-760638

Cheers!

It was a question. The cars look very much the same right now. But looking carefully I see a new character line, without the stupid dropping part.

What does this mean btw? Wasn't the new X3 sitting on CLAR platform?

Also the wheel arches are more beefy. Rocker panel is different. As said: character line does not sharply drops down @ the front; character line is more prominent & 3D. There's another character crease on the top of the front wheel arch. the C-pillar kink is different. Tail gate is different. Rear window is a bit steeper and smaller. The rear lights (the cut lines for the original clusters can be seen) are smaller, thinner - the wrap around part on the flanks is more pointy, triangular. And of course the front kidney grille is flatter & connected to the headlights. Etc.

It's an evolution. As already seen on latest X5 & 7er, and even X1 (although having different proportions due to UKL platform & being noticeably higher than predecessor). Expect the same with the upcoming 5er. Evolution.

You're quite right. I was half asleep when looking at the pics yesterday, there's small differences everywhere.

You're right this time. It's the first BMW to show the new design language.

New spys with the production headlights:

 

[SCOTT27]

If you compare both rounds of spy photographs you can see they are entirely different cars as I originally pointed out.

 

[SKY]

The side profile looks like the Autobild render. Let´s wait and see if the front and rear match as well.

You're right this time. It's the first BMW to show the new design language.

So the new "design language" is "evolution" (Eni)?

You're right and I see some differences between these last shots and the others posted by mickaBZH. Front is different with kidneys a bit big, the rear door is different too, and the same with third window in the side. But if are different cars, one is new X3 and the other one which is? X3 L or another model?

True. Different than X3 ...

So the new "design language" is "evolution" (Eni)?

Guys, think harder ...

Hints:
no X-specific kink @ A-pillar / side mirror ...
no X-specific additional air intake just below the kidney grille ...
no X-specific round fog lights in the front bumper ...

This will also spawn the next BMW X4 which will arrive in early 2018.
And X4 will be all-new as the F16 X6 introduced a year after the X5. Not being launched halfway through a cycle like the first X6,current X4 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
