The guys over at eGMcartech sent us this rendering of the next-generation BMW X3 that’s expected to go into the market in 2009 as a 2010 model. We won’t try to convince you that the next X3 will definitely look like this but we can tell you a couple of things that we managed to dig out from the BMW folks during our stay at the Frankfurt show. The new X3 will grow in size compared to the current model, as BMW will add the 1-Series based X1 in its SUV range. The X3’s engine line-up will continue to include 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel and petrol units. In addition, the German carmaker will offer the X3 with its new hybrid powertrain that premiered in the X6 Concept at Frankfurt.
