Really glad you liked the video! Who knows, maybe you're talking to a new Jeremy Clarkson (or not) ![]() He better watch out, you'll be getting his job before he knows it!! I kept thinking Peter Forsberg when you were talking. Love Foppa here in Colorado. I heard he likes fast cars, so better watch out when parking in his neighborhood. Might take it for a ride! ![]() |

Really nice car! Ordered myself one last month, have to wait now......
By the way: how much is the ground clearing? Is it the same or lower then the new X3? I can not find any info about it...... |

attacked by wild hogs, don't hear that everyday. I really enjoyed your video. I was all set to get a Macan S but in the end it just seemed to much like my Q5. X4 is now on my radar. Thanks

Hahaha, sorry I had to laugh. I'm afraid of the same thing. Since it is a brand spankin' new model, there are no replacement parts available in the market yet. Should've been more careful (high beam?) or was just pure darn bad luck, sorry. I guess your X4 is going to be out of action for at least ONE month now, more likely longer (parts delivery time from USA + repair time).

Simon: BMW Sweden ordered all Swedish dealers to have red DEMOS with Msport. If you are lucky, there could be one of those, that is out of action for some reason, and you could borrow the front fascia.
Did you say that the vehicle was with LED:s? The sad thing is that it was farmers in your neck of the woods who let out hogs to have for hunting. Luckily I live on an island (Orust), so we don`t have them. This helps me explain to my son, why he will not borrow my X4. ![]() |

It was just unlucky, saw one run over the road, started breaking, had a car facing me, it turned on it's high beam, so I couldn't see anything, then there were two out in front of the car. Nothing I could do. |

Nope, just the xenon. No, it's a huge problem with them down here, they're starting to overpopulate. And these were real wild hogs (vildsvin) and not a pig in the wild like the linderödsgris. Had my father in the car so he's not angry at me at all. I'm truly pissed though, feel that I could have stopped in time if I hadn't started to think. Thinking is what gets you. |

Young fella, sorry to hear and see. I feel your pain. Nothing you could do, nice that other car warned you. Each driver could not turn off headlights. In the US Night Vision (NV) is available on some models like X5 but not X4. I believe most drivers do not option this. NV is supposedly not so good when the animal comes perpendicularly at the car.

Was at the dealer today and talked to the workshop. Will get the car back in the middle/end of September since they're overbooked now in vacation times. Was only the front bumper and side skirts that were damaged luckily.
