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

[Betty Swollocks]

Not really a new trend though- BMW has been fitting different size screens since the E60 debuted over a decade ago.

That's true. Just seems to be ever more present nowadays, with all manufacturers.

New spyshots with the final front and rear lights + intérior:

I hope the analogue speedometer and rpm meter over the digital one is just camouflage otherwise this would be a big blunder

No, that's how it will come as standard, just like it does on the G11 7 Series. The FULL digital cockpit is not standard on the 7 Series (except for certain markets where they choose to make it standard).

BMW needs to pick it up on their interiors design-wise.

Neither fish nor fowl, symptomatic for how BMW has evolved over the last 10 to 15 years.

 

[SKY]

Still a lot of camo, but it looks a lot like the X1 from the outside, and a lot like the G11 7er from the inside.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

The proportions look very promising. The interior looks a bit boring.

It's going to be interesting to see the Q5 launch within 6 months of this.

 

[JPATT93]

This is shaping up quite nicely. The X3 to me has always been the ugly duckling in the X family. This may change that.

New steering wheel heating button!

 

[m-power]

That is no heating button. probably autonomous driving button.

They are staring to get about now.

I like this rims:

Personally I like as much sidewall on my SUV/SAV tires as possible, I'm not even much of a fan of low profiles on sports cars, but alas, that is the industry trend.

Ground clearance looks useless. Unless, this is some M-something model.

2017 BMW X3 Spied Inside & Out

Sometime in 2017, BMW will take the veils off an all-new X3. The second generation is a tough act to follow, but the upcoming model will do it effortlessly.

Internally known as the G01, the 2017 BMW X3 has been spied recently inside & out by our talented carparazzi team. The half analogue and half digital instrument cluster, free-floating touchscreen infotainment display, and latest iDrive are the name of the game as far as the interior is concerned.

On the outside, the compact crossover retains the shape we all know and love. Look closer and you’ll also see that the X3 will grow in size and will benefit from a dynamic stance. Minus the two exhaust tips, the spied mule appears to be a no-frills X3, barren of M Performance or other appearance-enhancing goodies.

It’s worth mentioning that the G01 X3 has longer rear doors and rear quarter windows. This detail suggests the CLAR platform upon which it rides prides itself on a longer wheelbase than the 2,810 mm (110.6 inches) of the current model. The less raked rear window, on the other hand, is a tell-tale sign that BMW is gunning for more luggage capacity over the current model.

The same platform will underpin the next-generation BMW X4, which is expected to debut sometime in the 2018 calendar year. On the mechanical front, four- and six-cylinder turbocharged engines will take care of propulsion. Cog swapping will be handled by a six-speed manual in less powerful models. BMW has expressed skepticism at the ZF 9-speed automatic transmission, so the 8-speed rower we’re familiar with will most likely soldier on in the G01 X3.

A go-faster turbo diesel X3 is in the cards, as is a plug-in hybrid (tentatively named X3 xDrive35e) and a full-blown X3 M. The latter is expected to churn out up to 500 horsepower from a water-injected and force-fed straight-six.

This is interesting, because I read this yesterday. Regarding the next gen 5er:

Base versions will be offered with both a 6-speed manual and a new nine-speed automatic, the latter being available as standard on higher end models.

If we are being realistic, ample enough to drive onto a beach or a kerb outside a cafe.

Hi All, I have a pretty simple question that I can't find confirmation of anywhere else. The current model X3 soldiers on, from the 4/16 to 4/17 production dates (at least I'm guessing that's the start and end of production). Does that mean the new G01 will be available from 4/17 on...? Or will the current model production be extended by a few more months? Because I've heard that the new G01 model won't be available until 8/17 so I was a bit confused.

The production starts 8/17 and the sale in fall '17 (USA) and 3/18 in Europe.
