i generally like the X3. the front end is attractive to me and the body as a whole has a nice attractive shape, i do agree however that plastic bumper is kinda cheap looking and the rear is somewhat odd looking but overall its a pretty nice car IMO.

I saw one today , it looks hideous , i dont see the point , its almost the same size as the X5 and its terrible expensive , the X5 retails for 79 thousand dollars and the X3 for 65

BMW designs are getting crappier by the day, even the head of BMW admits it...anyways BMW spelt backwards is 'Wanna be Mercedes Benz'...

I can't say that the next generations of MB is going to be all that much better. From the spy pics it doesn't look all that, but then again they are just spy pics.

I agree about the bumper. Looks like they ripped it off the local super-markets -no offense. Although, I don't think it'll look too bad with the bumpers painted the same colour as the rest of the car.

Seemed like the designers of the car had a little dispute with the rear boot design - those tail lights look really confused. ops:

the X3 is a waste....BMW is ruining its image with these craps...like a SW Jag...

the X5 fits into BMW's image...I like it very much! 8)

instead of the X3...they should have made a X7...

Don't tell me that doesn't apply to cars with a star on the hood....and besides, Bmw does make great cars, looking good or not.

Anyway, the X3 looks only somehwhat good with the optional sport styling kit and with painted bumpers...

I do like it, but I think it would look much better with painted bumpers. At least partly as in the X5.
