Auto loans: the 2018 BMW X4
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2018 BMW X4 before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2018 BMW X4 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
At 10.3 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 31 litres of fuel. Driving 300 km costs roughly $54.09 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
What the X4 is like
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Good uses for the X4
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the X4 tells you more than any review. Try the X4 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the X4 answers the big questions.
Running costs
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.03 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $180.30 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2018 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Ready when you are
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
