The BMW X4 is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by BMW since 2014. It is marketed as a sports activity coupé (SAC),[1] the second model from BMW marketed as such after the X6, and features styling elements and the roofline of a traditional two-door coupé.[2] The X4 is widely considered as a "coupé" version of the X3, trading its practicality with a sloping rear roof which offers a sportier styling.[3][4]

The F26 X4 is previewed by the BMW Concept X4 that was unveiled at Auto Shanghai 2013.[20] The production model was later unveiled in 2014 at the New York International Auto Show.[21] The X4 shares its powertrains with the X3, including a variety of four and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.[22] The X4 is slotted above the X3 but below the X5 in the model range,[23] and is 23 mm (1 in) longer and 37 mm (1 in) taller than the F25 X3 it is based on.[24]

A total of $900 million was invested in the BMW Spartanburg plant in preparation for the production of X models, including the F26 X4.[25]

Equipment

[edit]

Models are offered in a standard, xLine, or M Sport trim.[26] All feature BMW EfficientDynamics program that includes an engine start stop system and brake energy regeneration.[27] Available equipment includes 40:20:40 split folding rear seats, iDrive, a head-up display, and real-time traffic information.[28] M40i models feature 19-inch alloy wheels, a sports exhaust system, a stiffer suspension setup, and M Sport styling.[29]

All models are only available with all-wheel drive (xDrive), and meet Euro 6 emission regulations.[30]

M Performance Parts were released in the facelift and can be installed to all models. These include carbon fibre mirrors, a sport steering wheel, M rims, black kidney grilles, a carbon fibre spoiler and Aluminium pedals. 30d models also get a power boost kit making 27hp more (286hp) and 20d models can be fitted with a dual exhaust.
