2015 BMW X4
BMW
continued its trend today of adding more and more products to an
already crowded lineup, attempting to control the universe with strict
German order. Meet the 2015 BMW X4, the baby brother of the flabby X6 and slanty version of the X3 SUV.
With BMW bringing so many new
variants, of other versions, of various existing models, the debate on
why the brand is expanding into these niche segments, and whether it
remains right to do so, has been told. A lot. So rather than repeat myself, let's take a look at some of the X4's stats:
The U.S. will see two models –
the $45,625 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder xDrive28i, with 240 hp, and
the $48,925 3.0-liter inline six xDrive35i, packing 300 hp. Both
all-wheel drive cars mesh to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The
X4 is based on the X3's platform, only with a slopey-er roof for less practicality and more supposed "dynamism."
Whether BMW succeeds in
controlling the automotive world remains to be seen. But as The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has taught us, the most successful
leaders are often those that don't try very hard to be one.
