Geneva 2018: BMW X4 Debut

Sleeper · 03-07-2018, 03:05 PM

All the donkeys complaining about this style of SAV in the BMW model lineup... get over it. Not everyone is going to like the overall look or body style, and you can count me in that group. However, it's clear that the jacked up hatchback is here to stay.

What this thread should be about is a comparison to the outgoing X4. In every regard, this refresh is a massive improvement over the current X4. That makes this a good news thread.

The light at the end of the tunnel ... X3M

there is no in-between with this car, people either hate it or love it, you can tell by the comments its pretty split.

if they make X4M with a CF roof I will get that, if not I will get the X3M.
A little extra cargo space than my M3 offers (for my golf clubs and all my kids sports equipment), plus AWD (solving my M3 traction issues), count me in.

I may be in the minority, but these things look terrible. There isn't a redeeming quality about them, except that I'm sure they'll sound better than the F8x

I don't understand all the haters reading threads on vehicles they have no interest in and the need for them to vent their hatred for same on that thread.

On a positive note, I really like the new X4 and that RED colour. It would be nice if it was available on the X3 as well. Some of us need more colour in our lives.

I would definitely be happy replacing my aging 335i with an X4.

I'm guessing that future even series models will get this tail light treatment and the odds will be similar to the g30 and g01. Actually, now that I consider that means it will happen to the 2/4 series, I'm hoping it doesn't work out that way.

at least the front still looks respectable.

Ha ha ha back looks like ugly Mercedes.

To be fair. Audi's Q"x" cars are truly boring, they all look like Q7's virgin daughters.
At least BMW is trying to make their X"x" aggressive looking.

I guess it's not easy to make a big beast look pretty.

X4 looks good, I like the new approach with the rear lights, this car will grow on all of you and become a hot item, mark my words.
oh and please don't compare the shape to other cars, at the end all cars look the same with different branding cues.
