The exterior of the X4 also features plenty of technology, including 3D, LED rear lights, and Adaptive LED Headlights with beam control. The twin exhaust pipes sit on either side of the rear apron and look impressive. Connect your X4 via BMW ConnectedDrive, and you get real-time traffic updates and much more.
The car benefits from its low centre of gravity which increases stability and therefore handling. You don’t feel body-roll when turning into tight corners at speed, and the X4 grips the road superbly. Even the poor British roads are handled by the suspension, which soaks up the bumps and potholes. Coping well with sportier driving or cruising along in comfort, the X4 takes it in its stride.
The X4 is cavernous inside, swallowing cargo, be it luggage, DIY or the weekly shop. I did not forget the passengers, the most crucial factor in any safety or space provision. As I mentioned, all three passengers in the rear seat have ample space, so they are not on top of each other. That was always my issue when crammed into cars, and even short journeys were an ordeal as a child.
