2023 BMW X4 in Roanoke, VA - $43,986

Introduced in 2014, the BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupe represents a new dimension of the mid-sized premium Sports Activity Vehicle. Like the X6 before it, the BMW X4 combines the performance and capability of a premium Sports Activity Vehicle, with the style and elegance of traditional coupe.
The BMW X4 SAV is available in two models: the xDrive28i and the performance-oriented M40i. Introduced for the 2016 model year, the cutting-edge drive technology in the new X4 M40i guarantees the free-revving thrill typical of a BMW M engine and its outstanding power delivery.

The shape of the X4 cuts a persuasive figure with its perfectly balanced proportions and distinctive character. The large air intakes positioned on the outer edges of the front facia and the precise character lines in the front apron lend a muscular appearance. This lowers the car’s visual center of gravity closer to the road, signaling its sharper dynamics. The effect is further enhanced by the LED foglights located below the signature twin round headlights, an arrangement that defines the striking face of every BMW X model.

The coupe-like roofline reaches its highest point over the front seats, reflecting the traditional driver focus of every BMW, before dropping gently down towards the trailing edge of the tailgate. These stretched lines underline the sporting coupe character of the X4. The unique design is further reinforced by the fresh interpretation of the signature swage line running along the flanks of BMW models which, for the first time, is split into two. The first section rises smoothly from the front wheel arches to the rear door handles, highlighting the dynamic ability of the BMW X4, while the second part accentuates the powerful sculpting of the rear fenders. The contoured C-pillars – complete with muscular shoulders – represent a continuation of the theme, as does the broad and low-set rear end, which reminds the driver and passengers of the performance potential served up by the X4 before they even climb aboard.

Base power is generated by a 2.0L TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine. The M40i is powered by the newly developed 3.0L M Performance TwinPower Turbo in-line six-cylinder engine.

Torque for both engines is communicated to the wheels via an 8HP45 eight-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission with shift paddles and xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system.

Inside the passenger cabin, the interior reveals a synthesis of sportiness and exclusivity. The X4’s body is mounted 1.5 inches lower than that of the BMW X3. The driver and front passenger sit 0.8 in. lower and the rear passengers 1.1 in. lower, creating the feeling of a classic sports coupe. It is a sensation reinforced by the rear seat bench, which comes with the type of continuously molded side bolsters normally only provided by two individual seats, but still offers space for three passengers. Equally impressive is the load capacity available, which can be used in a wide variety of ways thanks to the standard 40:20:40 split rear seat bench. Everyday usability is enhanced even further by the standard power tailgate. It is available with the extra convenience of the optional Smart Opener, which allows it to be opened with a movement of the foot. All X4s include BMW’s iDrive Controller and central display.

The premium quality and exclusivity of the interior are underlined by selected materials, subtle electroplated accents, a high-gloss black-panel look and aluminum trim strips in the wood paneling. The unmistakable character of the BMW X4 is further highlighted by a level of standard equipment even more generous than that found on the BMW X3. All X4s include the aforementioned power tailgate as well as a sports leather steering wheel with shift paddles, variable sport steering and Performance Control.
