      Well, the rumors about it being delayed or never coming are finally over. The BMW X4 is officially coming as BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer confirmed it. What is the X4? Well, just a sportier version of the X3 similar to how the X6 is a sportier more "coupe like" version of the X5. The X4 will share the drivetrain of the X3. This vehicle will be built in the USA at BMW's South Carolina plant where the vast majority of X models have been built. Oh, and yes, BMW is planning an M version of this vehicle.

        They better offer a 3-seat rear option. It is now available for the X6.

        Otherwise a 4-seat suv will remain useless.

        Nah, this one actually makes more sense than the X6.

        How can you claim it is ugly when you have only seen renderings and not the final product?

        I think this will be badass...if it is a smaller version of the x6. Which is not ugly, btw!

        Read this, idiotic drivel about the M brand still being special from a BMW salesperson: http://www.bmwblog.com/2011/09/23/column-the-m-brand-is-special-after-all/

        T        alk about a blindly one sided article.
