Rendering – 2010 BMW X3

We came away impressed after driving the BMW X3, what we missed, we knew very clearly. The interiors could have been a touch better. The car also needs to be more capable off-road and let’s not leave out the lack of generosity in knee room at the back. This should be fixed in the 2010 version as it grows a little bigger in size.

Promotor speculates the 2010 BMW X3 would borrow elements from the X1 concept. The flat nose is in the interest of better pedestrian safety ranking while the larger kidney grill is keeping with the modern design language.

The 2010 X3 has earned titles like the most popular car in Germany, so BMW will not try too many things with this model. The basic stuff has to remain, while only the shortfalls listed in the beginning needs to be addressed to unleash a killer car.

Left Lane News has come up with some illustrations of the 2011 BMW 5-Series sedan, by taking clues from Spy images of the same car.

Codenamed the F10, the new BMW 5 series will have softer lines in comparison to the current E60 with more conventional-looking headlights and a cleaner front-end design. This rendering has taken design cues from newer BMW releases like BMW 5-series GT and the new BMW 7-Series.

Due to new EU safety standards, the length of the front overhang will be reduced, but the entire car is expected to grow in size and 17-inch rims will come standard.
