X3/X4 [Official] BMW X4 (G02)

[Centurion]

I have made an amusing discovery about this car: It doesn't have ceiling grab handles!

Spotted in USA the X4M, which the source made initialy a confusion with the X6M. But the rear lights and rims designs belongs definitively to the X4M.
here you go: 2019 BMW X4 M was spotted in California

X3M & X3M Competition
X4M & X4M Competition

Xdrive 30e too

Ah Gerotek, my old stomping ground. Miss those days. I wonder what effect Denel's woes will have on this magnificent automotive testing facility.

X3M & X4M productions will start in March 2019, confirmed by my dealer today. But unable to get more info from him. First deliveries in Europe around June '19. Competition variants for both models confirmed as well.
1st hope, we may have those models unveiled in January? or not!
2nd hope, give it I-drive 7.0 directly and don't wait on MY2020 in august.

X3/4M are going to be something special, I’d be surprised if they don’t go on top of their class.

When last did a Benz beat a BMW I can’t remember

Having driven X4 M40i, I can say, that it's spectacular for an SUV!

Haven't driven the X4 M40i - only the X3 equivalent. In that car I found the secondary ride quality to be brittle and the brakes hard-pressed to cope with the considerable momentum this thing can build up in a short space of time. Fast, characterful and well-built otherwise with a creamy straight six and slick ZF8HP.

That almost automatically makes it a no buy I hate that

I consult BMWblog, how is it that this Mr. Da Mattia can see through camouflage designed to just hide shapes and volumes??
Not only is he a friend of Superman but he has the authority to say right now, that the Audi is more handsome than the X4, this man is so desperate to say that, he can not even wait for the Audi to be revealed without the camo!
The saddest thing is that because of the name of the site there are people who appreciate the brand that consequently ends up reading things as unprofessional as those.

I 100% agree.

Pieces by Mr. DiMattia are the weakest ones on BMWblog site. Too shallow, too general, too much opinionated - despite Mr. DiMattia DOES NOT posses professional credentials whatsover to be qualified making such claims about car designs. Some of his pieces are on a forum-post-like levels, or even lower. Sadly.

At least a mandatory "In my personal opinion ... " prefix should be added to his claims. Or he should be instructed to avoid making personal & subjective claims in journalistic pieces.

It's a pity his low-quality work throws shadow on otherwise good work by other members of BMWblog team. I stopped reading Mr. DeMattia's pieces @ BMWblog a while ago. Not good enough for me.

Who cares guys, let him have his opinion. They probably put that in to look less biased.

 

[hovabongZA]

Any dedicated brand car forum I personally don’t take too seriously whether it’s a good or bad review/opinion. I appreciate it, but I wouldn’t quote them on it.

That’s why I enjoy GCF we all have our own favourite car brands, but still discuss other brands.

 

[Matski]

I'm not a fan of Nico's writing style, but at the end of the day, he's putting content out there which is better than nothing from the site's point of view, I'm sure.

Nico also writes for an Audi blog, Quattro Daily. It has it's faults but I actually don't take BMW Blog as being particularly
biased.

There is no denying that it has charm and an attractive silhouette that stands out.

 

[hovabongZA]

Having seen the X4 in the metal a couple of times now I have to say I really like the way it looks.....at the moment I prefer it’s looks to the new X6 maybe until I see it in the metal.
