2016 BMW X4 xDrive35d REVIEW | Heavy Hitter In A Sharp Suit
IF IT’S SOMETHING DIFFERENT YOU’RE AFTER, YOU’LL FIND IT IN THE BMW X4 xDrive35d.
Different, obviously because of that fastback style - a sports car top-half grafted onto SUV underpinnings - but unlike so many humdrum SUVs, the 35d has an ace up its sleeve.
Thanks to a more powerful twin-turbo six-cylinder diesel borrowed from the X5 (where it wears the xDrive40d badge) the X4 delivers unstoppable, torque-filled performance that hauls like a runaway train.
Vehicle Style: Medium SUV
Price: $89,900 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 230kW/630Nm 3.0 turbo diesel 6cyl | 8sp automatic
Fuel Economy claimed: 6.0 l/100km | tested: 7.3 l/100km
OVERVIEW
At 5.2 seconds from 0-100 km/h, the X4 xDrive35d is seriously quick - faster than its petrol stablemate, the xDrive35i and just 0.3 seconds behind the X4 M40i that won’t be coming to Australia.
