![]() Each car on our website is provided with a representative finance quotation based on the interest rate available on that vehicle. We typically receive a fixed commission calculated by reference to the particular vehicle, product or amount you borrow, for introducing you to a lender but this does not affect the interest charged on the agreement all of which are set by the lender. We act as a credit broker not a lender, we can introduce you to a limited number of lenders who may be able to offer you finance facilities for your purchase and we will only introduce you to these lenders. 4316950 VAT Number: 780 4977 88 Motor Depot Limited t/a .uk, smartdrive,, CarSupermarket.finance,, Trade Centre UK and Trade Centre Hull is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority 662357, you can check this at The X4 is really for those who want to stand out from the crowd and who don’t mind losing some space to look different, while enjoying a sportier is a trading style of Motor Depot Ltd. And the lower sticker price is darn persuasive. If you are practical-minded and looking across segments, the X3 would be the no-brainer choice. The X4 is a case of “different strokes for different folks”. Staying true to its BMW lineage, it packs a raft of convenience, comfort and safety technologies that’s expected of the luxury marque. It handles better than the X3, with a sharp steering that makes for easy directional changes as it gets predictively heavier with tighter corners encountered. Toss the X4 into corners and this high rider emulates a low-riding coupe with minimal roll. It’s no surprise the X4 is often compared to the X3 since both offer a similar level of tranquil ride at highway speeds as underscored by a trip from Petaling Jaya to Ipoh and back. No complaints on the paddle-shifted eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox either as it relays up to 100 per cent of torque to either axle in the blink of an eye. It’s a strong, smooth and well-matched engine for the X4, delivering the quickness required. The X4 xDrive28i uses a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder lump that’s good for 245hp and 350Nm of torque from a lowly 1,250rpm, enabling the 1,845kg car to catapult from 0 to 100kph in 6.4s, topping out at 232kph. While the X4 is less practical than an X3, it rewards with a sportier drive than its less flashy sibling. Contactless opening of the tailgate is useful when you have your hands full just practise “kicking” under the rear of the car a few times to ensure you got it down pat. The X4 owner accepts that boot space will be sacrificed for style but at 500 litres, it’s still a decent volume to shove luggage or groceries in, enlarged nearly three times with foldable rear seats. But the mid-person in the rear will start whining if travel time is longer than it takes to bake bread, as he sits higher up and have a tunnel on the floor to contend with. Seats are comfortable and supportive for four passengers. ![]() Legroom all around is plentiful but headroom is merely adequate for rear row passengers for obvious reason. Visibility is reduced to some extent because of the sloping roof, compensated by the fitment of a rear-view camera. The X4 cabin feels premium and retains the clean dash seen in the X3. In other markets, diesel variants are sold and there are 2.0-litre and 3.0-litre X4s and a 3.0-litre M40i that made its world premiere at the 2016 Detroit auto show. Like the X6, the X4 hails all the way from BMW’s US plant in South Carolina and comes in as a RM435,800 all-wheel drive turbocharged 2.0-litre vehicle in xLine trim or optional M Sport get-up that’s RM30K extra. Even Mercedes-Benz wants a share, and is now testing an X4 fighter called GLC Coupe, a fastback version of the model that arrived locally earlier this month. Strange as they are, people are getting used to their hybrid shape and they are here to stay. BMW prefers you call them “sports activity coupes”. And the X4 started rolling out in 2014, making it only the second BMW coupe-styled SUV after the X6. When the 4 Series showed up three years ago, I had a feeling another “4” would pop up in the X line-up, more so with the likes of the Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Macan prodding BMW to react.
