The 2019 BMW X4 range of configurations is currently priced from $35,390.
Our most recent review of the 2019 BMW X4 resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Contributor Dan Pugh had this to say at the time: As coupe-like SUVs go, the X4 iDrive20d 2019 is nicely proportioned and it happily delivered more M-Sport performance than I had expected. A thoroughly enjoyable drive that bordered on fun on the open road, but that was still comfortable around the 'burbs. For something a little different, the X4 is worth a look.

You’d think this would be a fairly simple question to answer, but in reality, it’s far from it. It seems neither BMW nor Porsche offer what we know as fixed or capped price servicing, that is; a known price that the service will cost, paid when you need to have it carried out. This is not uncommon with prestige brands and reflects the changing costs of imported service parts as well as different marketing approaches.
BMW, however, comes closest to this concept with what it calls its Service Inclusive Basic Plan which requires the car’s buyer to pay up front, typically for the first five years, of servicing when the car is purchased. That sounds odd, but it makes sense to buyers leasing their cars as the service costs are then paid for as part of the financing package.
In the case of the BMW X4, this package, which covers consumables such as filters, oil, spark plugs and brake fluid (but not clutches, brake pads and windscreen wipers; that’s another step up to the Service Inclusive Plus Plan) lasts for five years or 80,000km (whichever comes first) and works out to an average of $350 per service or a total of $1750 over the plan’s duration. Fundamentally, it’s like other car-makers’ capped-price servicing but you pay up front for it.
Meanwhile, at Porsche, the servicing costs for a Macan over the same 80,000km/five-year period will depend on what state you live in as labour rates vary from state to state. Since you’re from NSW, I’ll use the data from that state. As such, the Macan will need an annual service at one-year/15,000km costing $695. The next service at two years/30,000km is an intermediate service at $995, followed by another annual service at three years/45,000km ($695 again). The four-year/60,000km service is a major one costing $1750, followed by the five- year/75,000km service at $695 to end with. In total, that’s a grand total of $4830, making the Porsche by far the most expensive car to service for those first five years.
It depends on which model X4 you want. With $65,000 you should be able to get into a 2018 model.
From the research, my pick is definitely the Benz. It's a development of the classy GLC wagon but with improvements including better suspension. The Benz costs a little more but there is stock in showrooms now so you should jump quickly if you want one.
Say what you want about the exterior of the BMW X4, the interior is more understated. The dashboard, trim (leather is available) and design are all basically picked out of the X3 and placed inside the "coupe-style" X4's cabin. It's a neat and mostly functional space, though rear headroom is hampered by the sloped roofline.
