2018 BMW X4 unveiled: new swept-back SUV sets sights on Evoque

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/2018-bmw-x4-revealed Overall a big thumbs down from me. Every aspect looks worse. I can just about live with the front end and arches but the back end looks completely out of place. the interior looks awful. The new tech seems to be the only improvement in my eyes....

Re: good BMW dealership in north or west London for Service

Jason has 30 years experience as an indy!

Even when he wasnt there they did a good job on replacement of the brakes & water pump on my old Z4 Coupe.

Re: OEM Retrofit Options

[quote="MattX"] Update... I picked the car up yesterday afternoon and it's epic. I've never liked 4x4s as I'm far more into smaller rwd sports cars. They don't do very well at carrying a family around though. The X3 goes like absolute stink and the spec is superb. Tt has the pro navigation...
