5 reasons to buy the 2017 BMW X4

1. Superb engine options 

The X4 reminds you that just because you're shopping for an SUV, that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun too. The xDrive28i has a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 240 horsepower that won't disappoint. But if you're looking for a thrill ride, shop for the M40i with its 3.0L turbocharged six-cylinder that delivers 360 hp and will take you from zero to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds. With either of these engine options, you can't go wrong with the X4's performance.  

2. Traction where you need it 

You never know what the weather will be like from day to day, and with the 2017 BMW X4, you don't need to. Every 2017 X4 comes standard with all-wheel drive that transfers power to wheels that need it most for optimum traction. The system works automatically in the background so that you can focus on the road ahead.  

3. Luxury aplenty  

The 2017 X4 packs plenty of features into its small frame. The X4 comes with power-adjustible leather seats, with driver memory on all trim levels. A leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters will maximize your driving experience. Shop for an X4 with an available hands-free liftgate access with a foot sensor to increase your luxury amenities even further.  

4. Style in spades 

The low profile and wide stance of the X4 will catch any eye. The 18-inch wheels on the xDrive28i will have you rolling up to any destination looking classy. Shop for the M40i to increase the size to 19-inch wheels and add a show-stopping aerodynamic body kit.  

5. Lots of tech options 

The xDrive28i comes with a USB connection for your devices to pump your tunes through the nine-speaker stereo system. Wireless phone charging, available Wi-Fi hotspot, and Apple CarPlay® integration are available as an option on some trim levels, as is a navigation system.

This means you'll always be connected to your favorite tunes or podcasts.
