If the price were right, I'd be interested in an x4m. That's assuming it had the power to match the price.

I was thinking the same thing. Being 90% of the concept doesn't mean much if the other 10% is what makes it cool. |

This is how X3 should look like
a very nice car however, I wonder if I'm ready to dish out a premium price because X3 is ugly and this X4 looks nice; many are going to prefer the Porsche Macan. |

Is there any chance someone could do a quick Photoshop and remove the black plastic molding from this car? In the case of the base X3 the car doesn't look that great but the M-Sport package makes it look so much cleaner and aggressive. Or if someone is up to the challenge it would be interesting to see a render of what this X4 concept could possibly look like as a X4M.
While I do agree BMW seems to be spreading itself too thin these days by making small niche or redundant cars such as the X1 or GT versions when there are already touring models, I believe there is a legitimate reason to make SUVs such as the X4, especially in the US. Most Americans really dislike the look of wagons and would prefer an SUV even if it means reduced performance or little to no increased interior space over a wagon. Added to this there simply aren't any small, fast, and "sporty" 300+ horsepower luxury SUVs on the market. Neither Mercedes nor Audi offers any models and the closest cars I can think of are the Grand Cherokee SRT8 and Cayenne but they're both either much larger or substantially more expensive than what the X4 would likely cost. |

Is there any technical reason why the upcoming 4 series and this x4 not keep their respective concepts lights? They look much better than the leaked production ones of the 4series.

I don't really know about these x4's. Don't get me wrong, I live BMW, but this x4 is a bit odd to me. kinda like a smaller x6 it is, I guess. It seems like BMW are building cars, like always, to accommodate to all different people, and that's fine. But in my option, its not my type of car. But hey, what's BMW got to loose?

God dammit these concept cars are so sexy, hopefully little changes when they enter production. It would make the world a better looking place if they were driving around.

They are able to invest in a limited set of chassis designs, transmissions, engines, and other key parts, then mix them around with varying sheet metal to create lots of different cars to appeal to narrow target buyer groups. This is oversimplifying, but the X4 is essentially new sheet metal on the X3, just as the X6 was to the X5. All of the F3X variants are similar. Apparently, the 5, 6, and 7 series share a lot of platform now. Doing it this way, BMW can bring new models to market with far lower development costs per model than it used to be for them when they marketed a 3, 5, and 7 series, all on different platforms. All about market share and the cheapest way to capture it.
