The first prototype for BMW's new
X3 has broken cover, and our spies
have snagged the first set of photos on
the streets of Munich.
Despite the camouflage, the
sleekness of the revamped X3's new shape is unmistakable. There appears to be
some of the X6's smooth greenhouse flow from the A- to C-pillars, but without
the sacrifice to rear headroom and cargo space. From this first look, it seems
that a little more "sportwagen" has crept into the new X3's design.
The
new X3 is reportedly based on the 3-Series platform, but it has
been
stretched and widened to add some additional functionality to
the
shape.
The new X3 will also be built at
the Spartanburg, S.C., plant that also builds the X5 and will
produce the new X6 luxury crossover.
