One thing that bothers me about the new X3 is the front. The cut line for the hood on the X1 is higher up like the Z4, new 5 & new 6. It's a safe assumption this trend will continue to the new 1, 3 and across the line.

I think they should have given the X3 the same treatment. I feel like in some ways the X3 is going to be left behind design wise, as the first generation was. The first generation always looked painfully dated and I think this model might be the same.

The X1 already looks more in line with the current trend of the front ends.

I really wanted to like the new X3 but the front end and weird curved creases along the sides ruined it for me. I prefer the front end and sheet metal styling of the X1. And kvetch all you want about how M Sport dilutes the M brand, I like the aggressive look of the body kit on the front.

Looking forward to sitting in an X1 to see and feel the interior up close. Hoping the plastics aren't all hard and nasty. I like the slightly spongy feel of the dash material in my X5d.

If they introduce a 30d version of the X1 M Sport here in the States, I'll gladly open my wallet.
