BMW X4 (F26)
The F26 X4 is a coupe version of the F25 X3, offering a swooping roofline and a slightly sportier suspension setup. Positioned as a stylish, less practical alternative to the X3, it targets buyers who want the commanding driving position of an SUV but the aesthetics of a coupe. It shares all the mechanicals, interior parts, and issues of the F25 X3, meaning diesel timing chains, transfer case wear, and firm rides are common. It suits image-conscious buyers who rarely need to carry tall passengers or bulky items in the boot.
