The BMW X4 is currently in its second generation. The first was launched in 2014, and it was successful as most SUV-type vehicles are today. In 2018, the second generation arrived, and the BMW X4 shares the same platform and features similar styling to the BMW X3.
This current BMW X4 is codenamed G02, and the BMW X4 M was introduced a year later in 2019. A model year update has been revealed as well, and like the BMW X4, the BMW X4 M has been given a styling upgrades for 2022. The BMW X4 M features the superb S58 3.0-litre inline-6 turbo powerplant that is used across the Bavarian’s M lineup, and like in all these halo cars, this engine is the best part of the car.
In fact, the S58 was first used in the BMW X3 M and this BMW X4 M before the new BMW M3 and BMW M4 was launched. Like the BMW X3 that was developed alongside it, the BMW X4 uses BMW’s Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform. CLAR features aluminium and high-strength steel for a lower weight and higher body rigidity. The former is mostly why the new BMW X4 is 50 kg lighter than the previous model.
The G02 BMW X4 has 2 M models : the BMW X4 M and BMW X4 M Competition. In the first generation, the halo modeel was a ‘soft’ M version, the BMW X4 M40i, which returns in this generation, although it is, obviously, no longer the pinnacle of the range.
The performance available on the engine will bring a smile to the driver every time the pedal is floored
Handling is just agile enough that you will think that it is a sports car
Interior is luxurious and smartly finished, matched with class-leading technology
Agility comes as the cost of ride comfort, which is harsh and unforgiving
Coupe-inspired roofline is still very much up to personal taste
Does not truly succeed as either an SUV, or a performance vehicle
