5 reasons to buy the 2016 BMW X4

1. Three eager engine options 

Whether you want a spirited SUV for your daily commute or a performance machine for weekend fun, you'll find what you're looking for under the X4's hood. The xDrive28i will whisk you to where you need to go with a turbocharged 240-horsepower engine, while the xDrive35i gets you there a bit faster with 300 horses. For an all-out sprint, shop for the M40i with 360 horsepower and zero-to-60 time of 4.6 seconds. 

2. Agile all-wheel drive 

Do you want an SUV that's up to the task in challenging weather conditions? The X4's got your back. All of the 2016 X4s have standard all-wheel drive, which sends power to the wheels that need it most to maximize grip. The X4 is also equipped with descent control to manage the SUV's power when traveling downhill. 

3. Packed with comfort  

The 2016 X4's luxury is on full display right when you open the car door. The eight-way power driver and passenger seats help you and your seatmate get comfortable, and you'll appreciate the driver's memory, so you'll never have to adjust the seat again. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and wood trim throughout the cabin remind you that the X4 is cut above the rest.  

4. Turn it on and tune out 

Connect your device to the 2016 X4 via a USB port to crank up the tunes on the nine-speaker audio system on the xDrive28i. Or choose the xDrive35i and M40i trims to get a 16-speaker Harman Kardon® audio system. Shop for an X4 with an optional Technology package to add a navigation system with a widescreen display. 

5. Style for days 

The 2016 X4 immediately shows off its style with standard 18-inch wheels on the xDrive28i. Opt for an xDrive35i or M40i trim for larger 19-inch wheels to stand out from the crowd even further. Dial up the luxury further by shopping for X4s with available heated leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, and automated parking.
