Looks like the same size as the X3. What's the point of this car? Will it replace the X3?

The X3 uses a stretched version of the E46 3-series platform, while the new X1 uses the same platform (same wheelbase) as the current E90/E91/E92/E93 3-series. The X1 is a bit smaller than the current X3, while the next X3 will probably grow a bit bigger and more upmarket.

It would be really cool if the next X3 sported the same concept as the X6, but in a smaller package. That would honor the sporty 3 series heritage in its name, and would sell like hotcakes too!

looks better then the concept shown at the previous show, dont mean to nit-pick but is it a typo where is said bmw 3.0 litre V6 because im sure that its a straight six?? P.S. the 4th pic is nice one cuz theres an E34 in the background kinda shows the 'evolution' of BMW design...
