Uh, were there any changes?

Well it looks like they have new bumpers front and rear, new taillights, but the big news is the twin turbo diesel, that I am sure will never make it to the US market.

I am waiting for the makeover when they remove the crap-tasticness out of the car. I like Bimmers, but the X3 is a heap. When i was selling Bimmers, I test drove at least one a day, usually more, and every single one I was in had squeaks and rattles, and they were in different places in different vehicles, which tells you it's a quality issue, not a design issue. These things are built so much cheaper than any other vehicle. When you look at them on a lift you think you are looking at the underside of a Japanese car. Stamped steel and tack welds as far as the eye can see, it might as well be a Rav-4.  

Yup I agree. X3's design(looks) and quality make the car a shame to the BMWs.
