BMW planning X4 after X6 success

  • BMW is taking some pretty big risks lately, as highlighted by the launch of the X6 SAV/sports coupe/offroader etc or the 5 Series GT pseudo-shooting brake.

    According to a new report from Autocar, it seems things are going to get even crazier as the company, after seeing the success of the X6, might launch a smaller version, called the X4. It will slot in, as its name suggests, above the next generation X3 (with which it might share the platform) and under the X5.

    While the source says a decision hasn’t been made, it makes sense from a business standpoint. From a logic standpoint, the niche just isn’t big enough to warrant such a new model. Plus, don’t forget, there’s the 5 GT which is basically just an X6 without the increased ride height.

    What do you think? Should BMW try to follow up on the success of the X6 with a smaller X4 crossover/coupe/sports something? Share your thoughts below.
