What we can't tell you yet
Everything below was searched for. Lines marked (unverified) show a figure that only one source gives, or that sources disagree on; the rest have not been published anywhere we could find for this version.
- Fuel consumption — BMW publishes a WLTP range for this derivative rather than a single combined figure: 5.7 to 6.5 l/100 km, with CO2 of 153 to 174 g/km, measured on a basic-equipment car. The catalogue records a single combined figure only where the manufacturer publishes one, so the range is stated here instead of a number being chosen from inside it.
- CO2 emissions — BMW publishes a WLTP range of 153 to 174 g/km for this derivative rather than one figure.
- Ground clearance — Not stated on the BMW sheet read.
- Boot (standard) (unverified) — BMW does not name the measuring standard on this sheet, so the figures are recorded without one rather than being labelled VDA or SAE on an assumption.
- Towing (braked) — Not stated on the BMW sheet read, and BMW South Africa publishes nothing on the X4 to check it against.
- Towing (unbraked) — As above.
- Airbags — Not stated on the BMW sheets read, and BMW South Africa publishes nothing on the X4 to check it against.
- Airbag positions — As above.
- Service plan services — Motorplan is a time-and-distance contract; BMW does not publish a service count.
- Service interval (distance) — BMW uses Condition Based Service rather than a fixed interval.
- Service interval (time) — As above.
