A superior interior

M Sport: More for (almost) less

To recap

BMW significantly upgrades the X4. It’s now bigger and better equipped but the real upgrades are in the cabin and to the way the car drives. While the exterior isn’t to all tastes, the X4 is a very fine place to sit and for those hoping to find some of BMW’s trademark driving qualities, you’ll not be disappointed. It’s easy to spend tonnes on options whichever version you go for, but choose M Sport trim and the X4 is well equipped as standard.
