New York 2014: 2015 BMW X4 Live Shots
For those who wanted an X6 in a smaller package, BMW revealed its new X4 Sports Activity Coupe crossover at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
The X4 can be had as either the xDrive28i for a base entry of $45,625, or for about $3,000 more, the xDrive35i. Both trims come with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, but the 28i posseseses a 2-liter turbo-four capaable of 240 horsepower under its bonnet, while the 35i makes do with a 300-horsepower I6.
Further enhancements can be had with X4’s M Sport Package, including tighter suspension and unique seats, while its less-useful trunk can be opened with a wave of your foot — perfect for doing the hokey-pokey after a bit of grocery shopping at Whole Foods Market.
Expect the X4 to give it you later this spring.

The X6 has always had the kind of appeal that a female wrestling champion has to me at least. Not to bad in photos, but when you meet her in real life, you realise she's 7'3". The X4 looks more like a normal car sized car, so I guess it looks better. The hatchback also makes it sorta practical and aerodynamic, so, now there are absolutely no reasons left to build the X3, not that anyone will miss it...
It's tacky and too expensive, and Sports Activity Coupe is a ridiculous marketing term from Cloud MBA 2.0. And if you notice in the close-up of the console, super sloppy stitching on the seats.
