As much as BMW fans might not want to admit it, the next-gen BMW X3<\/a> is going to be one of the most important cars in the brand\u2019s near future. Which is why these new spy photos, which show off a bit of the new X3\u2019s design, are so interesting. (We don\u2019t own the spy photos but they can be seen here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

When the next-gen BMW X3 debuts, it will be built on the latest version of BMW\u2019s flexible CLAR platform. Judging by these spy photos, it\u2019s going to have a pretty traditional, mature, and handsome design. The front end seems to boast a handsome, shockingly small (by today\u2019s standards) kidney grille, slim headlights, and quad exhaust pipes. The latter of which point to this car\u2019s potential M Performance DNA, as all M-lite cars have been getting quad pipes as of late. The rest of the car\u2019s relatively normal styling doesn\u2019t disprove its sportier nature, as the test mule just might not have the added M Performance body bits yet.<\/p>\n

Styling isn\u2019t the important bit, though. What\u2019s most important is what\u2019s under the skin or, more specifically, what will<\/em> be under the skin.<\/p>\n

The BMW X3 will be built on BMW\u2019s CLAR platform but the upcoming BMW iX3<\/a> won\u2019t be. Instead, it will be built on the upcoming Neue Klasse<\/a> platform. The X3\u2019s chassis code will be G45 but the BMW iX3 could be called NA5. The iX3 will also be the first BMW built on the electric Neue Klass architecture and will kick off BMW\u2019s electric future. Ideally, it will also be sold in North America, offering a mass-market electric Bimmer to the majority of the brand\u2019s customers.<\/p>\n

Again, the car in these photos is likely the CLAR-based M Performance BMW X3, and not the all-electric iX3, but it is the beginning.<\/p>\n
