Someone just plugged an airline into an X1 and pumped it up a bit!

That will only add fuel to wife's argument for a new RR next year.......

Don't look great
Hope these pics are well of the mark
The LCI looks a lot better

Looks pretty close to the test mules now on the road. I don't think these are too far off the 3rd gen version.

It's supposed to be going to be larger, but lighter (being made of Ali rather than steel), and the base model has a 4-pot diesel. Due early next year.

Real life piccies here.

Bit of a disappointment I must admit - and agree with X5Sport that it does look consistent with latest spy shots. :xmassad:

I think that front will have presence and looks nicer than the e70

The back looks the same as all the others.

It's OK but I'm hoping that the forthcoming X4 will be a looker!

I always feel the diagrams don't show off the cars fully. I'll save judgement until I've see a couple in the flesh. BMW do seem to be able to produce cars that aren't loved at first but soon take a hold on the emotions.

doesnt look great tbh, but when the new x3 came out i thaught the same, but now in the right colour and sport, i quite like them, to the point i would consider one over an x5 in the future!! even with the 05 shape x3 (not a looker) i cant help thinking that used they do everything of an x5 for alot cheaper and cheaper to run.

i think it will be a grower and the colour is imo dreadfull!!

New pedestrian friendly front ends

Looks to be the real deal though, wonder how the X6 looks.

I dont think its far away from final version (evolution not revolution), though there are bigger changes to interior and engine line up though

Those shots look like an xLine version. I quite like it. I expect the MSport model will be more my cup of tea though...

Hope so.....I've got two 'X4 ***' number plates not in use, but on retention. Not that they'll be worth anything of course.
