What did we to deserve going from this

To this?

Bad to worse as far as I’m concerned.

Is that first one really a good choice...? Looks like a Power Wheels. Then that X4 actually looks awesome in that pic. Wait, I see what you did here!

I can dig the first one, it’s like a more powerful X90

In my eyes, it’s gone from terrible to not half bad.

like Pete DeLorenzo says, BMW is chasing every market niche, real or imagined.

I actually think the Z18 looks worse, but I like the concept more than the Z4.

10000000x this. Instead of 95 hp you get 300 since BMW actually shoved a V8 in the Z18. Also, appently that compartment behind the seats in all the photos could be used to stow the roof but also the roof could be removed and it could just be a pickup bed or rear seats could be put in. It’s like a crazy German Avalanche/Prowler mashup.

I actually love the X4's style. I haven’t driven one yet, but if it’s anything like the X6 it will be awesome. I do have a problem with the Sports Activity Coupe marketing.

Cool X90, bro.

V8 x90! I’ve actually been checking CL for an X90 off and on for a while. They can be bad for $1-2k and I think I could get up to some pretty good hijinks in one.

Check the front crossmember. They rust. Badly. Other than that, they’re super solid little trucks. My brother had a 4wd 2 door tracker that was bulletproof and put the brodozers to shame in the dirt in South Florida. Front crossmember snapped because of rust after about 300k miles and countless overloaded yumps.

Well since the introduction of the latest generation, X6 prices have jumped up quite a bit, to where the average price for a regular 35i with a couple of options is over 70k. The X4 was introduced for people that love the look, but whose budget is closer to that 50-55k sweet spot. Even better is you can get an M40i for ~65k, meaning it’s nearly half what an X6M is.

I loved driving an X5 that I had as a rental. An X4 M40i seems like it would be right up my alley. You’re right he price is reasonable. But $65k is still way above anything I’ll be able to afford anytime soon.
