People either like the way the new X4 looks or they don't.

I happen to like the way it looks, I've always been a fan of the hatch back.

I've owned a few

MGB GT
Datsun 280 Z
SAAB SPG
Audi Quatrro
Audi SR4
Lexus Sportcross
BMW GT (5 Series)
MB GL 450
BMW X4

Moving from 6GC and owning also a 4GC, would be a pretty safe bet that I will choose X4M. Well... is not. I find it so ugly��������. Sorry guys... is just personal opinion. No hard feelings.
X3M in donington with adelaide and fully loaded was my choice..

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Still little rude like calling your dog ugly to your face. Just admit your guys can't pull off a sexy looking car.

I really wanted the M5 comp but again my other half said no way we are having the same car when we needed more space! Ok she didn’t like the size of X5 I wanted power so I decided to test drive the X3 comp which is a perfect compromise. what is more surprising is my wife liked the x3mc more than I did lol her test drives are more of the practical sense like driving to car park to reverse park measuring the boot space for the pram etc.. women’s needs are different when they drive the family car time to time.

ok my point is I never liked the X4 as the Americans call it a SAC sports activity coupe imho I don’t understand them. As my other half said when she sat in a X4 why did does BMW make a car that is a SUV that is not a SUV with less head room less boot space looks more dark inside with a small rear window that is a coupe and high driving position... as I said earlier women think practically when it comes to cars and imho SUV should be a SUV.
I'll give you that they are popular with the football/soccer mom, my kids school is full of X3's and Honda CRV's. On Amazon they sell an optional tampon holder for the X3, so yes very popular with the ladies...No such option available for the X4

As you can see on this photos of my last 3 ( 8 i had it for a month as I was planning to buy it before I saw the x3m) ... I like sexy cars and I am a fan of coupe cars . X4M unfortunately doesn’t do it for me, and I found the x3m mich more masculine, more imposing with more stance on the road. GLC Coupe looks better than GLC for example. This me being subjective, hence I asked for no hard feelings

What made you pick the X3M over the X4M or X4M over the X3M?

I did the x4mc for a few reasons...

I like the coupe like styling better as opposed to the traditional suv look.

I don't carry rear passengers regularly.

My precious car was an M4.

Need a bigger vehicle to get stuff to and from and the lake house we purchased earlier in the year. The M4 was just not cutting it. So when the lease was coming due I switched.

The X4M to me looks odd from some angles, X3M isn't a 360 degree car either but overall looks as it should.

But it's ETTO.

I saw the X4M in the flesh and it caught my eye. I thought the back of the 3 looked a bit ordinary. I know, it's weird, my view is very different to most, I get it.

I went for the X4 initially, but the more I looked into it and and then seen one I just could not get on with the rear boot area so went with the X3 instead

I can't do the coupe SUVs, for me the whole purpose of an SUV was to have a big car, lots of space to get the kids in and all the associated prams etc. Making an SUV a coupe just defeats the purpose of an SUV in the first place and they're just fugly!

I bought the F97 because I wanted a G81.

But we all know that BMW haven’t done an M car in touring format since the E61 are they are not going to any time soon so the X3M is the closest thing we’ll get.

However if they do offer an M3 touring I’ll happily swap the F97 out for it.

I know the there will be a 2020 G21 Alpina B3 offered with the S58T but I don’t have a flat cap or a walking stick so I know that won’t be for me.

Same here. Well said. I am looking at X4MC because the sum of intangible factors is greater than the sum of what X3MC offers.

I just like how X4MC looks.

My thoughts exactly.
I like the way the x4 looks but went with x3 for easier access and more room when I need it.

Wife has a X3M40i. About to get the X4M. Sportier. Boot size isn't an issue. Plus the wife says it makes no sense to have two of the same looking cars.

There are 4 times as many x3's then x4's

If that wasn't enough, the X3 is a frugal "mom" car. If you want practical or efficient, you'd drive a Subaru. The X4 and especially the X4M is a mans high performance "SAV." Not to say the right women wouldn't want a piece of an X4. But more often then not she'll want more "practicality."

I don't mind the X4 but not enough to justify the price premium over an X3.

All said the similar spec'd slightly used X4's were cheaper at the dealer.

It came down to price and immediate availablity for me... I would be happy to drive either.

I wish I had the cash for a competition. I actually have the cash but I'm just too cheap. What's wrong with me?

The X6 / X6M are much2 more appealing.
Only matters is you can swallow the additional $40k+ sticker...And as much as it was intriguing, couldn't wait till almost May for delivery of X6M (non comp)
