Used BMW X4 for sale

Tested by Euro NCAP in 2017, the X4 was awarded a full five-star rating, with this BMW SUV doing very well in terms of adult and child occupant protection. Despite being slightly older, the X4 also gets lots of the safety features that we’d expect on a current-day car, including Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and an active bonnet which can cushion the impact for any pedestrian involved in a collision with the car.

You’ll find a four-cylinder diesel engine kicking off the X4’s range of engines, followed by a pair of six-cylinders in the 30d and 35d models. The latter get an automatic gearbox as standard, while the smaller engine is available with both manual and automatic choices. A the top of the range is a turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six petrol in the flagship M40i version. All cars come with four-wheel-drive as standard, too.

Every car gets dual-zone climate control as standard, as well as Bluetooth connectivity and heated front seats. A suite of parking sensors helps to make positioning the X4 at low speeds easier, too. From base-level trim, you’ll find xLine and M Sport specifications to choose from, with the middle grade bringing features such as larger alloy wheels and a lot of chrome detailing. Popular M Sport adds in sportier wheel designs and a dynamic body kit.

The entry-level four-cylinder diesel should return up to 52.3mpg, while more powerful six-cylinder versions should bring between 45 and 47mpg during mixed driving. Range-topping M40i versions will bring a fuel consumption of around 31mpg, again during mixed driving.

As all versions of the X4 come with quite large alloy wheels, we’d be checking these over for damage and corrosion. Likewise, though it is fitted with many parking sensors we’d still look over the bumpers for car park damage. The large doors are prone to dings, too. If you’d like a clearer picture of any X4 you’re looking at, then an AA Vehicle Inspection is here to help. An approved AA engineer will take a look at the car and flag any issues that they suspect could be present.

The BMW X4 has proven to be a largely reliable option, though some engine issues have been reported. Look out for sluggish performance in diesel-powered models - it could mean that the diesel particulate filter is clogged. However, if you’d like a professional to take a look at the car, then consider an AA Vehicle Inspection as a way to get added peace of mind.

The BMW X4 is available with engines ranging from a 2.0-litre diesel through to a 3.0-litre straight-six petrol.
