The 2019 BMW X4 Isn’t for Everybody — And That’s the Point
[MUSIC PLAYING] CARLOS LAGO: That right there is the new 2019 BMW X4. It’s a slightly more premium, slightly more sporty variant of the X3 that has a slope down roof. Kind of like the BMW X6. We’re gonna drive it for the first time today. [MUSIC PLAYING] From the driver’s seat, unsurprisingly, the X4 drives similarly to the X3. And I’m actually happy to get to talk about that because I went to Portugal to drive the X3 and film a video on it, and I got the flu immediately after landing. So no video. But I’ve since reviewed that vehicle and driving this car for the first time, and the similarities are very easy to spot. The dash looks identical. Forward visibility is excellent. You get the same powerful 6 cylinder engine and this model, which is the M40i. Of the two, this is the M40i, which is the top version. Beneath that, is an xDrive30i.
The xDrive30i comes with a two liter turbocharged 4 cylinder, about 250 horsepower, or so. And this M40i has a turbocharged straight 6 with 355 horsepower and about 365 pound feet of torque. So acceleration in this is not a problem. BMW’s never had a problem making powerful engines that feel good. This one revs all the way to 6500 RPM and sounds good in the process. So it’s a very satisfactory driving experience. The nicely weighted and easy to grab onto steering wheel feels good in your hands. There’s good detents in the rim that make you want to grab the wheel at the right position. The throttle response is pretty solid for a turbocharged engine, especially one with an 8 speed transmission. If I dial it into one of the various sport modes, it even gets a little louder and it will crackle the be exhaust when I make downshifts. Take a listen to this. [ENGINE REVVING] That’s a good sound. And speaking of crazy performance things that you don’t expect in this kind of vehicle, we’ve got launch control. And that will get this M40i model to 60 miles an hour, according to BMW, in just over 4 and a half seconds.
