I don't know why but I think the x2 and x4 are somewhat unnecessary if I wanted a coupe I would have bought one if I'm wanting to buy an SUV one of the main reason would be due to the vast amount of space and slightly boxy a coupe SUV seems kinds niche
JamKick They are but they aren’t similar that much. BMW wants people to compare the X models by even numbers to odd. Basically BMW wants people to see the difference between the X1,X3,X5,X7 and the X2,X4,X6 now do you see the difference between them your suppose to compare even with even numbers and ofd with odd it’s so complicated I’m not going there.
What be great if you could tell us a little more about the suspension please . Some claim its stiff , i haven't had the opportunity to drive one of these X4's but would be great to drive one of these X4's soon . Thanks
Looks like it has a Down syndrome. And i do not know why but front fenders are also a bit narrow and wierd,somehow spoils the wheels. Looks really silly if you ask me
@BEEF. There is also the unniche BMW 1series, 2 series, 3 series, 5 series, 5 series, 6 series, 7 series and 8 series. Same bloody trend with Merc and Audi.
BEEF Well go to business school maybe you’ll understand. More models more money. It’s like a rank keep selling cars till you make the top look at Toyota and Ford they have a trillion cars on the road .. BMW nothing new. That’s why BMWs at the top 3 most valuable brands.
BEEF your sorrow has only begun. BMW X8 is coming. It’ll be a supercar SUV to compete just under the Lamborghini Urus. After that, there may be a X9 to rival the Mercedes G Wagen, and that’s going to be a super wonderful car too. Brace yourself.
Please excuse my ignorance but what would be the reason one would choose petrol over diesel when it comes to a large vehicle like an SUV? Serious question.
It looks weirdly disproportionate. The X6 is fine, this is just too small. Maybe it's the window-line that tapers towards the centre at the rear, that's just weird.
Excellent review. If you are a fan of the X6 you will like the X4. Same design language in a cheaper version. If you don't like the X6 , you will not like the X4. Great review
I simply do not understand why BMW would make the X4 40D but not a 540D or X3 40D. Mind boggling. An X3 40D would be my go to, not a compromised (luggage space) X4.
She says she has had a 6ft colleague in the back, with plenty of room to spare !!! I wish I had been the camera man that day. She has a lovely chassis, forget looking at the car.
Mr Ed it’s dumb to think anyone who likes, wants, or even drives this car is a “soccer mom”. That’s daft assumption. I own a X4 and I’m a man. I’m single and wanted something sporty but also needed a bit of practicality with a bit of ability to go off-road with my mates when we go camping, exploring etc out of town on weekends. Could have gone with 4 series Grand Coupe (or 3 series touring) but that will easily get damaged on the off-beaten paths we take. The X4 does everything I’d want a car to do for me at this stage.
Costel Coaie I have a tuned C63, tuned Impreza and another track car. Had an M3, Focus RS, various others. Do plenty of work on two of them myself, and do track days so please tell me again how I know nothing about cars whilst you glorify an absolutely gopping clanger of an SUV 😂
Central Lifestyle calling someone dumb from a single man wanting something sporty that could go off-road and bought an x4 is somewhat ironic😂. Could have at least bought something manly for crying out loud. No point wasting more time on you you're a lost cause.
Loved her presentation, but she seemed to dislike the shape of the vehicle. Kind of pointless with less head and trunk space, while costing more than the exactly same X3.
Magg78 fugly? OH YEAH! Pointless? Oh yeah! No room in the back for adults so any normal person would buy a good looking, better handling and quicker car? OH YEAH!
Is it me or does this look like Angry Birds from certain angles? Beamer need to sort out this kidney grill expansion project that they keep doing with each successive model released. It's getting ridiculous.
I should get a job at BMW designing cars. I can`t believe they actually have somebody employed who came up with that design in the first place and then the bosses actually agreed it was a design good enough to be put on sale. BMW`s aren`t often good looking but that is a big bag of steaming shite!
the BMW interior looks great but after 1-2 years everything is in scratches. I have x5 with same fake chrome plastics inside, they scratch soooo easily ! the quality of the materials is not so good
Why are all car review sites still obsessed with pushing diesels? To my mind, the only reason you'd have one is if you're doing 15k+ miles a year, or leasing. As a private buyer they make no sense and are dirty horrible things. No one's going to want a 3 year old diesel with low miles when you're going to be forking out £2k for a new dpf. BTW the X2, X4 and X6 are all fugly anyway.
The design looks boring after all this years of almost same design. As new A4 driver I like that X4 stayed on rotary dial and not only touch screen like new A6,A8 and VW Touareg. It is much more practical and safe to use when driving and you dont need to streach your arm for every single thing...
Xenon Games BMW is being cheap for weird reason this is off topic but the S63 V8 has been around since 2008 with the X5M. That sound the engine makes is pure Volvo like... yuck
Had an 840i……. Got a dog and needed a more dog friendly car. So got the X4 M40d…… I hate diesels, love petrols, hate SUV’s love cars……… bloody love my X4…….. Just goes to show you don’t know what you really like. Or should I have got an X6…..
Although BMW has always introduced the best diesel engines, top build quality and performance from another level on their SUVs, something has gone horribly wrong with the latest exterior design language.... Oversized grills, big round headlights, busy front, no character.... Compare this looks to a Range Rover Velar or PORSCHE Macan... I wouldn't buy it because it looks like this no matter how good it is.... (P.S. I own a BMW E83 X3 that i like much more in terms of design ...)
Not sure I would say top build quality for the X range. Surely BMW's least reliable cars by far with huge maintenance costs. They can be a real money pit. I do love the interiors and the i drive system is one of the best systems on the market but personally I'd rather have a reliable car I'm not constantly throwing money at so find the more reliable Japanese SUV's much more appealing even if a little dull in places. That said I don't like the exterior of this BMW at all. I'm so tired of seeing that grill and the basic shape seems unappealing. I wish they'd use a grill more like the i8 to update them a bit. www.reliabilityindex.com/reliability/search/237
Donovan Campbell No the odd number BMWs are needed, the X1 is a family car that’s compact for the average family with little kids and want way more comfort than the entry level cars like Toyota or Mazda. But when there’s a family that lives near the beach and wants a good comfort without to much money to spend and have a dog you get the BMW X3. If you want even more Luxury and tech and have the off road ability also have a great looking SUV and it’s the best SUV ever basically because the X5 is very hard to beat for the price. But if you a celebrity and want higher class than all and if you thought the X5 is still not good enough you get the ultra Super SUV X7.
Ondra Neuman It’s ugly in the back but don’t have to be extra by saying the isetta is better.. I hate when people get so dumb over something small quality is nice the tech is nice the color is good it’s performance is good enough to compete with a A class and a M235i. Overall a nice car. But not my taste the X4 M that’s coming will change things up.
I feel sorry for the Europeans having the driver on the right side vs on the left here in the US. Operating the infotainment system with your left hand is probably a little cumbersome.
I thought this design would be more aerodynamic than the x3 but guess what? It’s not. X4 has a CdA of 0.777 and the X3 is 0.770, the difference is marginal. Hopefully the downforce is higher for the x4 or the lift is lower because most cars produce lift instead of downforce at high speed despite some claiming their family cars feeling glued to the road at speed ... lol nonsense. The old x4 which look smoother has an even worse CdA. The x3 has a Cd of 0.29 which is really good but slightly bigger frontal area as compared to 0.3 for the new x4 which is not bad after all. As a comparison the old x1 which is smaller has a CdA of 0.749 so the total wind resistance is slightly reduced. Reference: Automobile-catalog.com bigmike.marlincrawler.com/forum/index.php?topic=33.0
X4 and theses types of SUVs are more fashion items than genuine SUV options just a bit roomer than saloons I think if your looking for a genuine SUV you would buy a Range Rover
@@bh4560 so bmw built a completely different car ??? Shows your intelligence muppet, it’s built on the same platform but rebadged for muppets like you to buy
What is the point of the X4? Rear seat may be cramp for taller people. The trunk has less space because of the sloping roof. On top of that it is just as ugly as the Mercedes GLC
Why is that most car reviewers review the highest specs and the most powerful engine, where only 10% of buyers can afford? Why not start to review the base model, where the majority of people can afford?
I don't know why but I think the x2 and x4 are somewhat unnecessary if I wanted a coupe I would have bought one if I'm wanting to buy an SUV one of the main reason would be due to the vast amount of space and slightly boxy a coupe SUV seems kinds niche
I love how it looks, I bought one 2 weeks ago 😍
I like Ginny‘s reviews. She such a good presenter
It’s better than the old one but I still prefer the x3
I think BMW is overdoing it with their large range of very similar vehicles
JamKick
They are but they aren’t similar that much. BMW wants people to compare the X models by even numbers to odd. Basically BMW wants people to see the difference between the X1,X3,X5,X7 and the X2,X4,X6 now do you see the difference between them your suppose to compare even with even numbers and ofd with odd it’s so complicated I’m not going there.
JamKick there's definitely a market for it. They're making money
JamKick maybe you need to stop thinking then.
Im not sure what they were thinking with the back end design.
Taylor Gawn .... they have copied Mercedes it looks terrible
Taylor Gawn not sure what they were thinking with the design full stop 😂
it looks like a Merc from the back
Peter Sothern it looks like piece of sh## from all angles like the Merc.
Costel Coaie think your profile pic says it all 😂😂 soccer mom
Peter Sothern GLC COUPE or GLE COUPE
X2 looks better
I does
Anyone else find the thumbnail image hilarious, Ginny looks like a hobbit compared to the back of the car.
This is an awesome car, I love mine. I considered a Merc but this was far more fun.
What be great if you could tell us a little more about the suspension please . Some claim its stiff , i haven't had the opportunity to drive one of these X4's but would be great to drive one of these X4's soon . Thanks
The grill looks like someone with there nostrils flared 😂😂
That back is horrible
Besart Hasani it's absolutely hideous
Looks like it has a Down syndrome. And i do not know why but front fenders are also a bit narrow and wierd,somehow spoils the wheels. Looks really silly if you ask me
Horrendous
How many niches must BMW fill? X1, X2, X4, X6, X7, 2 series AT, 2 series GT, 3 series GT, 5 series GT, 6 series GT
@BEEF. There is also the unniche BMW 1series, 2 series, 3 series, 5 series, 5 series, 6 series, 7 series and 8 series. Same bloody trend with Merc and Audi.

All of them. We live in a world where choice is a good thing. Why would that be bad? People are so negative in these comments.
Very diplomatic review of a shed 😂
Nice review thank you, attractive with beautiful lines, the car is nice as well.
She is breathtaking! Also a good presenter! I like her very much :)
Please excuse my ignorance but what would be the reason one would choose petrol over diesel when it comes to a large vehicle like an SUV? Serious question.
Modern day Pontiac Aztec ladies and gentelman. Maybe Breaking Bad will return?
I would wait for X5. Love that refreshed interior.
Great video, GInny! But is that tyre roar I hear inside the cabin? It did not sound like wind noise or engine noise.
But aren’t diesels going to be a problem in the uk soon ?
Bulls Bears that's what i was thinking
Probably only old ones
No!
Hey I saw Ginny on Escape to the Countryside yesterday! :)
I thought a coupe only had 2 side doors?
It looks weirdly disproportionate. The X6 is fine, this is just too small. Maybe it's the window-line that tapers towards the centre at the rear, that's just weird.
The X6 is fugly and idiotic as the rear slopes too much and there’s no headroom for an adult unless the adult is Peter Dinklage 😂
The previous model actually looks better, especially the back
jarlsbergosten an X1,3,4,5,6 has NEVER in history looked anywhere like it could be described as anything other than fugly and mediocre 😂
jarlsbergosten yeah I agree. Maybe the new x4 looks better in personal? Not sure.....but...its not bad actually (atleast)
Shut up now
Excellent review. If you are a fan of the X6 you will like the X4. Same design language in a cheaper version.
If you don't like the X6 , you will not like the X4.
Great review
Why do car journalists complain about transmission tunnels? Where do they want it to be? On the roof?
Seeming contradiction in terms---your description of 20d, being smooth yet rough?
Ginny is always a class act!
I simply do not understand why BMW would make the X4 40D but not a 540D or X3 40D. Mind boggling. An X3 40D would be my go to, not a compromised (luggage space) X4.
Because they know better than you 🤣🤣🤣🖕
Looks like a huge washing machine from the back I'm afraid. What a shame
Fantastic review.
What a stunningly beautiful thing.....Ginny, not the ugly and unnecessary X4. Seriously, who buys these things?
JosephM1750 she’s not a thing
Evidently Sam Jones bought one because he (or she?) is butt hurt and regretting it due to so many people highlighting how awful it looks.
I'm struggling to find this car attractive :/
Donovan Campbell 😂
Lucky 6 foot colleague!! Still love you, Ginny.
Any chance of a review of the New Kia Sportage (Face lift version)?
Looks like the rear seats split 40 20 40 too me
She says she has had a 6ft colleague in the back, with plenty of room to spare !!!
I wish I had been the camera man that day.
She has a lovely chassis, forget looking at the car.
I would rather have the Merc-GLC Coupe
Different strokes for different folks!
Awesome 😃 👍 2018 bmw x4 review .
Most pointless car ever. Don’t think I’ve ever seen the previous model on the road.
@Andrew Jenkinson. Don’t worry if you haven’t, it looks almost exactly like this new model
With luck we’ll never see either then my eyes might be offended 😂
Absolutely hideous and a waste of space
Costel Coaie football Mum with no taste - you’ve been outed. This and the X5,6 and 1 are all so fugly I find them offensive lol
Mr Ed it’s dumb to think anyone who likes, wants, or even drives this car is a “soccer mom”. That’s daft assumption. I own a X4 and I’m a man.

Waste of space, weight, power, and fuel. Why not an X3? Or a 3series instead?
Costel Coaie I have a tuned C63, tuned Impreza and another track car. Had an M3, Focus RS, various others. Do plenty of work on two of them myself, and do track days so please tell me again how I know nothing about cars whilst you glorify an absolutely gopping clanger of an SUV 😂

We now know they lied (VW and the likes) about the diesel emissions so ignore the emissions data in this video
Loved her presentation, but she seemed to dislike the shape of the vehicle. Kind of pointless with less head and trunk space, while costing more than the exactly same X3.
2:44 It has powerpoints? You really EXCEL, when you use such WORD in the review. You are a nice PUBLISHER.
Those new taillights just don't fit it. I think it's uglier than the first gen. And I didn't like that one either.
Where did you record this rewiew?
just like the x6 a total waste of time and space
Ruairi Mccarthy couldn't agree more
Ruairi Mccarthy except they sell really well so clearly there is a market for these coupe SAVs and that’s the bottom line.
Magg78 fugly? OH YEAH! Pointless? Oh yeah! No room in the back for adults so any normal person would buy a good looking, better handling and quicker car? OH YEAH!
Is it me or does this look like Angry Birds from certain angles?

You forgot to mention bmw doesn't support Android n ios car play. It's crime not having that option. Also the rear is simply ugly.
Gavin Nash they do support Apple car play just not android auto
There you go Josh...not havin Android car play they are certainly missing a huge market. Not for me.
Gavin Nash why would you need android auto or even carplay instead of iDrive which is the best infotainment system on the market?

Xenon Games when emissions regulations force it to be updated.
They replaced the previous generation after 6

What part is this an SUV? it’s not sport , it’s not utility. It’s a jacked up coupe and as we all know coupes are not practical.

I'd have forgiven the extra over the x3 if it was good looking but it isn't either especially from the back. It's hideous.
If you think this is ugly you should see the new X5.
I'm warming to BMW's if I'm honest. I bet looks great in white ☺ Ginny you're bloody lovely x
