Those of you living in Australia will be glad to know that BMW Australia has finally announced the prices of the new BMW X3. Don’t sweat it because the new X3 is going to feature the same price tag as the current model so that’s some very good piece of news especially when taking into account the fact that the new BMW X3 Sports Activity Vehicle has many important differences to what is on the roads today.

That being said, March 2011 will bring Australia two engine flavors for the second generation BMW X3 SAV. First is the BMW X3 xDrive20d which is the entry-level version which costs $62,200. A good thing is that a six-cylinder petrol engine BMW X3 xDrive28i will also be introduced, with a $71,900 price tag.

But that’s not all. After the launch of the new BMW X3 xDrive30d, Australia will also get it although with a bit of delay, as there is a three month lag. Anyway, the xDrive30d will have a $74,900 price tag.

Compared to the current production models, the models mentioned above bring over $10,000 worth of technology so if you plan of upgrading your version, choosing one of them will be a very good choice.

Good news for the American fans of the 2011 BMW X3. Since the German model will be built in the South Carolina plant, delivery times will be shorted dramatically, and this will make the people who want a custom built BMW X3 very, very happy.

There are two versions available to choose from, both with an automatic gearbox: the X3 xDrive28i, featuring a 3-litre engine that sports 240 hp and 230 lb/ft of torque, going from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds and the X3 xDrive35i, featuring a direct fuel injection twin turbo 3-litre engine, sporting 300 hp and 300 lb/ft of torque, reaching the 60 mph mark in 5.5 seconds (with the Sport Package).

Instead of ordering a 2011 BMW X3 from the dealership and being limited to it’s offers, why not order your own customized version which can be at your doorstep in as little as a week since the plant gets your order, instead of several. You will be able to choose from new trim options or paint and other features not available in the catalog.

Prices yet to be announced.

First of all, I want to apologize myself for this delay. No more articles were posted since July 14, but now I’m here and ready to keep you up to date. Two days ago, BMW officialy introduced the new BMW X3, codenamed F25, as you probably know. The X3 model is at the second generation, coming with xDrive all-wheel drive.

Comparing to the previous generation, BMW X3 F25 is wider, longer, higher and has a longer wheelbase. The new generation is 83 millimeters longer, 29 millimeters wider and the wheelbase increased by 15 millimeters. The new X3 is built on the E90 platform, comes with Start & Stop technology, in order to reduce the fuel consumption, but also the adaptive suspension is available.

Thus, the BMW X3 F25 will be available with diesel and petrol engines. The petrol engine develops 306 horsepower. Drive28i version will come with the 3.0 liter engine capable to develop 272 horses and the xDrive20d and xDrive30d versions developing 184 hp and 245 hp.

I have to tell you that this is more a test of the content-aware fill feature of the new Adobe Photoshop CS5 that is going to come but we are very interested about the thing that they tested this on namely a 2011 BMW X3. As you can see, this is also a realistic rendering because at the begining, this was a camouflaged 2011 BMW X3 but with that new feature, they made a realistic rendering as you can see.

This 2011 BMW X3 will come with a 3.0 liter in-line 6 cylinder engine which can develop up to 230 horsepower which is quite ok for this 2011 BMW X3.

There are also some chances that this 2011 BMW X3 to come with a 3.0 liter twin-turbo in-line 6 cylinder engine which will be able to develop up to 300 horsepower which would probably be the most powerful choice.

A period of time, we saw no spy pictures; but now, the internet is full with 2011 BMW X3 spy photos. If you ask what is 2011 BMW X3 I will tell you. The model from these pictures is a facelift of BMW X3 that is about to come in next few years. Again, the release date is not set at all. On the internet I read that it will be released somewhere between 2010 and 2012 but anyone knows that.

If you want to see the changes between the facelift and the old BMW X3 I recommend you to watch the last photo from this post. I didn’t realised but now I see: the 2011 BMW X3 is larger than the old BMW X3 model.  The new BMW X1 will probably replace BMW X3 so that’s why they want to build a facelift of BMW X3: to make it larger and to be much different and better than BMW X1; same is the price.

At this point, from these spy pictures I can not see the changes that were made but when I’ll see an uncovered model, I’ll can say more about 2011 BMW X3.
