X3/X4 BMW X3 G01 LCi leaked

[klier]

Not bad at all, resolves some of the issues I have with the current one, notably the grille.

And adds new issues, like crazy style graphics on the rear lights. Hopefully they will look better with the official pics.

the rear light seems to be the new design for bmw, mimics the new 2 series as well

Good spot!

I’ve just realized the 2 series lights have the 3D effect too. They could be quite attractive after all…

4 kidneys?!?

As someone said earlier on I’ll wait for the official pics to make a judgment.

And here’s the standard version:

This front bumper is an absolute mess.

Why is BMW trying so hard?? I just don’t get it... They used to make the best looking cars in the business.. just please stop

Come on, it's not bad, it's personalized

I had not noticed the third and fourth treatments of different materials and colors, how much work for a grill.
Now I want to see how this looks in official photos

I liked the nickname for the grill, it fits it precisely and it also applies to the X3...Ray-Bans?

Ray Bans! And switching to Oakley with the Neue Klasse judging by that investor picture.

Although I might be wrong, BMW may be trying to get away with using the same front and rear bumpers on both the more pedestrian M Sport/M Performance versions and the hardcore M version (which as far as I recall would be a long time first, thinking E39 M5) - even the rear valance seems to have been designed to accommodate both the trapezoidal exhaust pipes and the round quad exhaust pipes. Not only that, the regular/xLine version may be getting the same exact bumpers too if these leaks are anything reliable to go by

 

[advantage20]

So it seems like the LCI X3/X4 are getting the new style A/C unit after all

...and as alluded to earlier, the M does get the M Sport/M Performance bumper.

AC vents was known for some time, and these bumpers we'll have to see. Maybe it'll be like the E60 M5 vs M sport; extremely similar but not the same.

Also: the X3 is gaining the AV vents/controls that the 3er is going to lose with the FL and has already lost with the i4 @David Brent

They really have improved the X3M facia. It looks far more purposeful to the brand. I always thought X3M was too tame in its appearance. But perhaps the customer liked it’s wolf in sheep’s clothing persona?

Yes you might be right, I just figured it wouldn't make sense investing in two different bumpers and yet make them almost identical and indistinguishable from each other.

This front bumper does have M Sport / M mixed vibes though (G80/G82 slit-shaped lateral intakes, ambiguous mouth that is both 'smiley' and 'inverted smiley'), which would support the idea they've designed it to fit both the M Sport / M Performance and the M. Well, Mercedes has been doing this for a while now on its lower range models if I'm not wrong.

Big whoop.. I had this design on my 2014 X5… needs to do sumpin different

 

[Gor134]

BMW's made the X3M and X4M a little bit quicker

But will you prefer to wait for the M3 Touring?

X3 M and X4 M are officially revealed.

Very nice facelift
