BMW X4 shapes up

Official sketch shows how Evoque-rivalling X4 could look.

Small but packed with style – that’s the new baby brother to the X6, which these official sketches show is on the way. We stumbled across drawings of an ‘X4’ buried within the press material at the launch of the new X3.

Rumours of an aggressive SUV coupé based on the X3 have been circulating for some time, but these images give the clearest idea yet of how BMW’s three-door rival to the Range Rover Evoque will look. We spoke to the man responsible for the sketches, X3 designer Erik Goplen – and he told Auto Express that he would “love to see it made”.

We also cornered Markus Braunsberger, the project manager for the firm’s X models, who said: “There is certainly space in the product line-up for an X4 – but we have to make sure it doesn’t steal sales from
the X3.”

The newcomer is likely to use similar hardware and interior components to the X3, including its 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo engine, which offers 300bhp-plus. According to our sources, the X4 has already gone from drawing board to concept stage, and we could see a show car next year, with a production model in 2013.

X4.5

BMW, we would love to see a niche created within a niche, so lets hope you can overflood the mkt with another unnecessary car.
Slap another 2 wheels onto the chassis to make it 6, more wheels would be safer & more stable.
Why settle for 1 single level cabin when you could have 2, make it a double decker and get another 2 seats on the 2nd level.
