The good, the bad, and the ugly. First X4 stock photos
I'll keep my comments to myself since I'm not a fan of this car but I thought I'd share some photos of our first one that just got off the truck. Ask me questions if you have any. I will say this, you have to be 4 feet tall or less to be able to get in the back seat without knocking yourself out with such a low roofline.

I had a look at the X4, it also lack quite a few things you'd want in that sort of car, like a nice panoramic roof etc. The X4 just looks like a fatter GT

That's the reason why no one has bought the one we have in stock yet. Same reason why no one is batting an eye at the 435i GC in the showroom as well. These cars look too damn close to the fugly GT models that came before them.

It looks like half SUV & half sedan. I think it will die like the Acura & Honda Crossover that did last long...

I thought a long time about this. In favor of the X4 are sportier looks (not a soccer mom car). I drove it on the "track" at the Ultimate Drive Event and the rear visibility was not as much of an issue as when just sitting in the showroom checking it out. Even the back seat was not an issue for me or the other passengers. One big negative for me is the small sunroof. I decided to order an X3. In the end it just felt "right" when I drove it. I love the light from the panoramic roof and it's still a bit cheaper even when packed with all the options that are standard on the X4.
I would still get an X6 if not for the price. In that case the sloping roof on the F16 does not hit the headroom too much in the back and takes away some of the "bigness" I feel in the X5. |

honestly, its a cheaper alternative to the X6...........which the X6 doesnt make much sense to begin with.
if you're gunna get an SUV, you're pretty much getting it for its ability to store and transport stuff, neither the X6 or X4 can do that as well as the X3 or X5 can.......but i guess BMW wanted to create a new market.....the useless SUV market.....and its working
