Verdict
BMW expects to sell around 2,000 units of the X4 a year in the coming three years. Popularity of its other X models has been huge so it’s not rocket science to determine BMW’s success with this latest addition to the X range. It looks great, is comfortable, spacious, drives well and is as efficient as an SUV of this gravitas can be.
For the business user, the thorn in the BMW’s side is the sportier, better driving and £4,050 cheaper Porsche Macan 3.0D S. Check out the review for the Porsche here.
