Fun to Drive

The ride is smooth. However in sport plus on regular streets will snap you back a bit. The exterior styling is great and you will get looks and comments. Not a true M Car but the M40i makes more sense for a daily driver. X4 M40i and X4M 0-60 times are too close to justify paying $10,000 more for the privilege of driving an M car

We drove the Audi Q5, Mercedes GLC 300, Lincoln Nautilus, and this beauty won out for it's striking looks especially with our M package. The 30i engine is smooth, powerful for a Turbo 4 and gets 29 on the Hwy, and 25 Combined mileage. The surround camera system and blind spot warnings we bought makes visibility fantastic. Yes the back seat roof line doesn't accommodate 6 ft. plus people easily, but we buy for us in the front. Gorgeous car with amazing features.

The Swiss Army Knife of Cars!

2020 BMW X4 M40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

I was looking for a mid-sized vehicle that drives more like a car with 'some' of the practicality and utility of an SUV. This 'SAV' sports activity vehicle is phenomenal to drive (M40i engine) with excellent handling and close to sedan like feel. No, it doesn't drive like a pure sedan, but it's closer to a sedan than anything with 8" of ground clearance. And it handles 10 times better than any SUV you've driven. With the M40i engine, it's ridiculously fast and can corner much better than you'd expect. The tech in the car is fantastic and works very well. Seats are comfortable, cabin is quiet. Watch any of the Video reviews and they all praise the driving characteristics and technology in the car. Think 5 series on stilts. The biggest knock against the X4 is the 'coupe' like design and how it reduces headroom in the rear seats and storage. It's a design you either love or hate. I love the design and it's become more and more common. A teenager in my neighborhood said, "That looks cool!" Look at the new Tesla Model Y, it has a similar roof line. For those who complain about lack of Android Auto, that's coming this summer and yes it has Apple CarPlay. The absolute coolest feature is Spotify built into the car. You stream from the car, not from your phone. It's very cool (and you can choose any of your playlists and songs via the main 10" screen or even through the Head Up Display. The X4 does not try to be the perfect sedan or perfect SUV. It sits squarely in the middle but was exactly what I was looking for.

Time to upgrade my SUV and wanted a different look than all the other full-size SUV's out there. The X4 fills the bill perfectly. Fit and finish on the interior shows all the high quality materials and details that you should expect in a BMW and I really was pulled to the exterior styling. I thought I'd mind the contracted rear view available but with the rear camera, it's a non-issue. The M40i with 355HP inline six/8speed is an awesome engine/transmission combination and the excceleration will set you back in your seat. In sport or sport+ mode, the exhaust note definitely will put a smile on your face.

Class,Elegance ,Sophistication & demands respect .Get out of the way with the BMW badge this drives like the ultimate driving machine that it is .Unless your doing Bentley or Rolls Royce which is of higher caliber ,then your competition is Porsche & Maserati . The only car that is direct competition and might have one advantage is the Mercedes GLC coupe as that car maintains a very important safety feature that BMW lacks and that’s Blind Spot Assist a necessity which is ignored by BMW. The conclusion is that BMW X4 has a slight advantage with everything else that the vehicle has to offer then gets smack down due to lack of this standard safety technology that it ignores in its vehicles

Test drove X5, X3 and X4 m40i was hands down the winner. Can’t go wrong paying a few extra K for the power and handling this vehicle provides. The wife absolutely loves her true sports SUV. Some reviews claim limited space but we went from 435i gran coupe to X4 m40i and of course we like the extra space. More space or less space is relative and for us the extra space is definitely a plus.

This is a very fun to drive vehicle with a sporty unique look, a real head turner. I enjoy the technology with the hand gesture feature (allows you to interface with touching the controls). The throttle response in sportiness is just enough to provide the thrill you need while still being conservative now on gas to make driving cost efficient

Stong Engine sound that reveals the power underneath its hood. This may not be the most desired sound for the luxury quiet car lovers. Ever time I turn on the car, heads turn and wonder. Imptressive

Get the M40i and Have Fun

Enjoying my new (used) X4 M40i. It has a lot of speed and style to go along with a roomy cabin and enough cargo space for me. I like the X3 and if you have a need for more cargo space and perhaps adult rear passengers you might want to go that route. For a sporty alternative the X4 should be considered. Looks great, drives great, sounds great. A lot of power and a smooth ride. Ugly? Ignore the haters. It’s a smaller X6 and with so many options in BMW’s SUV line, they can find something they prefer more. You? You will be passing them on the highway.

This X4 is exceptionally amazing in driving, handling in any kind of terrain is incomparable , easy and convenient experience with relaxing as a breeze. Technology and packaging included are top notch.This X4 accelerates whatever your in the mood to drive, it appearance is eye catching at night everybody notices the ambience lightning inside plus this amazing add-on that’s comes standard. The red-cognac leathered seat added elegance of this X4. Superb make and build.

I really don’t like the car at all. So sorry I bought it. I must admit, part of it is my fault for not doing enough research. I had no idea how few options the car came with. I added the M sport and premium packages and it still doesn’t have things like automatic high beams, cooled seats and easy-exit. And forget the brake pads. They’re so soft that my wheels are covered with dust by the time I get home from the car wash. Lousy acceleration too. NEVER AGAIN.
