lo,

That’s the uniqueness of BMW! Every generation has it own design!

luqman,
dont get me wrong, there is sort of inconsistency of design among bmw models. it looks like it has been lead by different designers which doesn’t really know each other’s work. for example , the grill of the bmw kidney has to be consistent among different models. for mercedes, it is fine becasue now matter how u tweak it, it will still have the ’shield’ look . but for bmw, it is just sort of different prototypes on different car.

i like the previous generations of bmw 3 series 5 series , they look modern at the time and they look like brother and sister.

Its nice. But bit smaller than X3? Quite small then..(at least not small as Pero2 Nautica)

jhuan, cannot be less than rm200k. Mazda suv nowadays reach up to 300k.

This model is a comparison to the 3 series. How?

Well Paul u can’t win em all!!
the current X3 is a M sports package
With the sportier set up ,comfort wld definately suffer.
Probably we’ll b seeing the lower spec X1 RWD version here.
..also looking forward to their “d” engines
for the 3/5 series come Oct.

‘in terms of look wise, i’ve found that bmw is lacking in terms of design language wise. it always seems odd . the kink is not pronounced enough.’

That’s true. But why all the Japanese, Chinese and Koreans are copying the BMW design then ?

BTW: Price in Europe is EURO30000 (RM148,812.00). The Volvo XC60 is EURO 35950, RM29,514.38 more….

I like that ‘eagle’ look, its more prominent now. Side profile is nice too. But that lower ‘lip’ is kind of out of place. And if not for color combination on the bumper and skirting this is plain man!

how much will it be?

By: jhuan

jhuan — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:23:30 +0000

Looks real good, esp in white. Hope the dimension of the car is similar to crv/rav4, then it will be much easier to move around in town. Hope price it below rm200k, then we’ll see them everywhere in town.

Wow…the white one quite impressive. See…from my point of view, first glance looking at the shape and its proportion, this would promise ultimate driving experience…in terms of economically financial value, X-trail will win…

its slightly smaller but the next gen x3 will grow in size.

is it bigger than the current x3?

By: Paul Tan

Paul Tan — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:40:04 +0000

I know of a few rich ladies who would love this. Alot of them like the higher seating position of SUVs but the X5 was just too big to park so they striked it off their consideration, and the X3 which was sold here in 2.5si form was too uncomfortable. An X1 xDrive20i with a comfort suspension would be just nice.

Hopefully its priced around the normal 1 series and not into the 3 series saloon. Then will surely sell. But then again, this is BMW. Put any outrageous price, and people will still buy it
