BMW is insane, the X4 would be a much harder niche to sell than a X3M. The X3 35i is already encroaching on X5 35i territory, the difference is only $3900 which is less of a pricing gap than between the X3 28i and 35i. If X5 and X6 sales are any indication for how well the X4 will do then the outlook won't be good. The X5 sold 102k units in 2010 with 35k in the US alone, whereas the X6 only sold 46k worldwide.

To me it makes more sense considering X model BMWs are essentially just tall versions of the 1, 3, and 5 series. The X3 itself will give most sport sedans out there a run for their money.
