Overview

2024 BMW X4

The 2024 BMW X4 presents itself as a stylish, performance-oriented compact luxury SUV. It combines the practicality of an SUV with a coupe-like profile, aiming for a sportier appeal. Under the hood, a potent 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive delivers robust performance. However, for the used car shopper, attention must be paid to its reliability record, which, while publicly rated 'Good,' has an average LLM assessment due to a critical steering recall and a notable number of Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs).

Critical Failure Risk

A recall (23V770000) addresses improperly tightened steering gears. This defect can lead to a loss of steering control, posing a significant safety risk. While the recall aims to rectify the issue, owners should be vigilant for any signs of steering looseness or unusual feedback.

Early detection can help you avoid a $1,500-$2,500 repair.
