Shown here is a rendering of the 2010 BMW X3, as speculated by a German magazine. The 2010 X3 will have a roof line slightly lower than the current model and will follow the X5’s styling theme by getting more round corners. It will debut by the winter of 2009.

The X3 will be a more dynamic performance-oriented Sports Activity Vehicle and it will have larger dimensions than the current model. It will offer more cabin space and cargo room than the current generation.

All the electronic gadgets seen in other recent BMW models will make their way into the 2010 X3 as well, starting with the Night Vision System, Head-Up Display and continuing with Adaptive Headlights. The interior design has been drastically improved, a much needed upgrade requested by the BMW fans.

Two petrol engines will be offered, along with four diesel choices. The petrol engines will most likely be the straight-six 3.0L engine and the twin-turbo six 3.0L engine. The top diesel engine will be same one found in the X5d or 335d sedan.

The X3’s base price is expected to be increased as well due to the introduction of the smaller BMW X1.
