Used BMW x4 for sale

What types of used BMW X4 cars are there?

A used BMW X4 is a functional option for a busy family, but it doesn’t compromise on luxury. 

Making its debut back in 2014, the X4 has seen a couple of flashy upgrades since then, with a truly impressive infotainment system that looks incredible with the classic BMW interior styling.    

The X4 is slightly more compact than some other luxury SUVs, but still seats five people comfortably and has a 525-litre boot.   

The BMW quality shines through with the X4, especially where the build is concerned. It feels upmarket and luxurious inside and out, and it’s a real treat to drive.    

There’s a range of used X4 cars on offer, including X4 coupé and estate models, and flashy trims like the M Sport and M40i.   

Popular BMW X4 trims 

Because the X4 is sold as a flashy alternative to the more conventional-looking X3, you’ll only find it with high trim levels and lots of kit. 

> BMW X4 Sport - Well-equipped entry-level model with all-round parking sensors, powered boot lid, heated seats and reversing camera 

> BMW X4 M Sport - Popular fully loaded version with eye-catching design and even more equipment 

> BMW X4 M40i/M40d - Fast 3.0-litre engines, even sportier styling, and yet more kit 

BMW X4 history 

There have only been two versions of the X4, and while both are excellent picks, the difference is fairly stark. 

> First-generation BMW X4 (2014) - Slightly understated design, only on sale for four years with no major updates 

> Second-generation BMW X4 (2018) - Much more imposing and sporty design and a huge step up in luxury and quality 

> Facelifted BMW X4 (2021) - Mild hybrid added to all engines, design tweaks, and upgraded car tech 

What features does the BMW X4 have?

A used X4 will get you an incredible range of features, even in entry-level models. The specifics will vary depending on the specific X4 that you choose, so it’s a good idea to browse the range and see what catches your eye.    

The X4 Sport models get standard features like air-conditioning, BMW iDrive services, reversing camera, and heated front seats in the latest models.    

The mid-range and entry-level models get a semi-digital cockpit for a really modern feel.    

The flashiest model in the range is the X4 M40 lineup, and these get some extra bits of kit. Expect features like sport automatic suspension, a full digital cockpit, and BMW Professional Navigation with a 10.25-inch touchscreen display.

Is the BMW X4 reliable?

A used BMW X4 gets to benefit from tried-and-tested BMW manufacturing – the brand often outperforms many key rivals like Mercedes when it comes to customer feedback surveys. 

It’s also worth noting that the X3 shares many parts, including its efficient engines, with the X3, 3 Series, and 4 Series. 

How much does the BMW X4 cost to run?

Most BMW X4 cars for sale come with efficient 2.0-litre engines, except for the performance models, with many newer versions getting mild hybrid technology, so they should prove fairly efficient compared with other SUVs. 

Still, the X4 is quite large and heavy, so you’ll notice higher fuel and car tax bills if you’re moving up from a smaller hatchback or saloon. Insurance can also be costlier than average, given that BMW is a premium brand. 

Who is the BMW X4 suitable for?

The used BMW X4, with its dynamic performance, compact size and advanced tech, meets the needs of modern urban drivers, offering agility, style and connectivity for stylish city dwellers. 

Despite its sloping roofline, space for rear-seat passengers is good, so you’ll have no problem carrying taller teenagers or adults.
