The model
Read full BMW X4 reviewThere are plenty of more practical SUVs, but few are as sharp to drive as the BMW X4, or as economical.
The trim
See full equipmentThe only normal X4 you can buy before resorting to M40d and M40i models. M Sport comes with most of the equipment you’re likely to want, including leather upholstery, sat-nav, cruise control, automatic emergency braking and adaptive LED headlights. It’s our pick since it’s the only trim that comes with our preferred 20d engine.
The engine
See full engine specsWe prefer the 187bhp 2.0-litre 20d because it is still fast enough at 7.9sec 0-62mph, and has four-wheel drive and a super-slick eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard. Plus, it endows the X4 with strong acceleration, is quieter than the equivalent Mercedes engine and sends next to no vibration back through the controls.
