Company Car Review of the BMW X4 xDrive 30d M Sport

What is it?

This is the new BMW permanent all-wheel-drive X4, which bye-and-large (pun intentional), is a ‘mini-me’ of the rather bullish X6. However, for this particular niche-filler, the BMW have got the visual aesthetic just about spot on because it actually looks the business!

Company car drivers familiar with the X3 will feel right at home in the X4, as it’s much the same car but has undergone some streamlining. You would have to look very hard to spot the differences, but the X3 and X4 share bonnets, front bumper and grille, front wings, forward doors and of course the now-familiar dashboard layout. Everything else behind the A-pillars has received the ‘couped-up’ treatment.

In the UK, we’re offered a choice of three EU6 diesel engines, as BMW says no petrol derivatives are planned for the foreseeable future.

The launch range of X4 models comprises three trim-lines – SE, xLine and M Sport – across six models.

Prices start from £36,595 for the X4 xDrive20d SE manual and peak at £48,995 for the automatic xDrive35d M Sport, which stomps a significant £5,500 on the toes of the Porsche Macan S Diesel (£43,300).
