There’s the typical big, illuminated ‘kidney grille’, which gets diagonal and horizontal slats, along with new slim headlights and double LED ‘ticks’. While there’s no plastic body cladding, the new X3 has wide, well-fleshed-out wheel arches to give it the requisite ruggedness, and it also gets a new design for the alloy wheels.
