# 2018-2025 BMW X4 xDrive30i The BMW X4 xDrive30i is a compact luxury sport-activity coupe blending X3 practicality with a sleek, sloping roofline. Powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 248 horsepower, it delivers spirited performance with standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Reviewers praise its sharp handling and upscale interior but criticize reduced rear headroom and cargo space compared to the boxier X3. The X4 is famous for prioritizing style over utility, epitomizing the "coupe SUV" trend some find questionable. It's well-suited for urban professionals and empty-nesters who want BMW driving dynamics with practical SUV ground clearance but don't need maximum cargo capacity. The polarizing styling appeals to buyers seeking distinctiveness over pure functionality, making it ideal for those who value aesthetics and spirited driving.
The 2018-2025 BMW X4 xDrive30i requires premium fuel and expensive maintenance through BMW's plan (if expired). Common issues include coolant system leaks and electronic glitches. Insurance runs higher than average due to luxury classification and repair costs. The B46 turbocharged engine is generally reliable but requires attentive maintenance intervals to avoid costly repairs.
