BMW X3 to get a quick refresh?

Dear 001,

The X3 has really gotten off to a slow start...and BMW is looking for ways to to pump up sales.

One of the criticisms of the car is the dark plastic cladding at the bottom of the vehicle that is making some potential customers turn away.

Rather than a fast refresh, BMW will counter and introduce an X3 model that has a monocromatic coloration scheme, from top to bottom.

The car looks MUCH better that way.

There are body kits out there right now but they're around 5 g's.

How will they spin the marketing?

Don't call it a refresh, call it an X3 sport version...Clever, eh?

Check out these photos below from tuner AC Schnitzer:

















My sources tell me this is the look BMW is going after.

Check out the photo taken stright on from the back...doesn't it look a lot like the Lexus GX470?

I think it looks great.

What do your readers think?

Can't wait to read the feedback below.
