Product Overview

The facelifted 2rd-gen BMW X4 (G02) is the sloped-roof (coupe) version of the compact, two-row X3 crossover. This mid-cycle refresh includes a range of cosmetic changes and technology upgrades, and some of its engines have slightly different outputs in order to comply with the new Euro 6d standard.
Key exterior changes include the new BMW kidney grille and flatter headlights. The front and rear bumpers are also tweaked. The X4 now has full LED lighting, with BMW Laser Light headlights available as an option, too.
As has been the case with BMWs in the last decade, the X4 pairs its various turbocharged petrol and diesel engines with the ZF 8HP automatic transmission. All-wheel drive (xDrive) is standard on all vehicles.
Inside, all petrol engines now use 48V starter-generator in a mild hybrid format. The interior has been revamped, with a free-standing 10.25" Control Display being the main user interface for the infotainment system. A 12.3" option is available as an upgrade, too. Modern driver assist techs are also available.
The facelifted X4 G02 is unveiled alongside the facelifted X3 G01. For those who demand more performance, BMW has also refreshed the X3 M.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
The latest X4 M Competition is undeniably rapid and boasts grip and traction to rival some super-saloons. It's a strong technical update, with more performance and better tech on offer, plus bespoke M features for this halo model. However, it's still ultimately a compromised car, especially when it comes to ride comfort, while its X3 M alternative also offers more practicality.
Pros
  • Powerful engine
  • Powerful mid-range
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Pricier than X3 M
