First Production Real Life Photo's X4 2.8i XLine/Sparkling Brown and Alpine White

Very first Real Life 100% Series Production Photo's of the X4 in Sparkling Brown and Alpine White. There are a few shots of a Sophisto Grey X4 in the set. The only photo's to date that give you a Real Life Side By Side Comparo with the new Facelift/LCI X3. Tried to focus on the rear hatch area and difference's in the greenhouse on the X4 vs X3. I think these photo's clearly show the major difference in design between the X4 and X3.......The X4 clearly has the edge in the Sporty look vs the more traditional X3 SUV design. The X4 is much smaller close up in the metal than my minds eye would have made me believe....even after the 1,000's of spy photo's I took of the X4. I think BMW has a winner with the X4. Enjoy. Thanks. PalBay

Thanks, some great front and rear comparison shots.
Aesthetically I like X4; whereas practicality x3 is preferred.
