    Rumorpile: BMW X4 Renderings

    William Maley

    Editor/Reporter - CheersandGears.com

    February 4, 2012

    Back in January, BMW announced $900 million investment into their Spartanburg, S.C. plant to bring forth 300 new jobs and to make way for a forth vehicle to be built. That forth vehicle is a smaller version of the X6 called the X4.

    Auto Express has done a couple renderings of what the X4 could look like when it goes into production in 2014.

    The X4 will share the overall shape of the X6 including a sloping roofline, unique lights and bumpers, and a distinct front end. The X4 will use the X3’s platform and share engines.

    Stop the insanity. I can't wait for this SUV fad to be over. Why does BMW need 4 SUVs and 5 counting the X1 that may come here? That is stupid. And the problem is most of the people supporting this "I want a new SUV that isn't an SUV, but is trendy to park at Starbucks" are the yuppie types that buy BMWs. What is happening to performance? Automakers want to make econoboxes and SUVs now, and kill sport sedans and coupes.

    Due to Dual incomes, families that have no kids or the kids are finally over and off on their own, want a driving machine with the room of a Mini Van. So with that said, everyone is delivering the SUV/CUV with AWD that the market demands.

    You want your driving machine, go buy your CTS-V, M3, AMG, Corvette, Camaro, Mustange, etc. Plenty of driving machines even in a dull version like the ugly camry.

    This is the Age of the SUV/CUV.

      You're welcome! Yep, the problem is that it isn't the future for the rest of the world. That's the NOW for China and Europe (if I remember correctly from the video). The US is soooo far behind. It does make me curious about the Ford and CATL and/or BYD partnerships that have been going on. I'm sure Ford isn't getting that technology though.

      The rate of change will only speed up.

      The collapse will cause an every country for themselves attitude and it will be the final days for ICE and OIL and the Auto Companies that caved into Idiot47, AKA American Auto Companies are going to pay big time as they continue to become nothing in the new world order of Tech EVs. American Auto Companies have gotten the last of my dollars.  Awaiting to see how Kia / Hyundai does with the Truck Market here. Their Mules are still in LA for the EV9 Pickup that I would love to have to compliment my current EV9. Thanks for the Link, yes I see the video and that is freaking cool. We are so far behind when this is the future.

      @G. David Felt I came across this video and thought you'd appreciate it. It's a long video, but with you being the tech guy that you are, you should be entertained by it all. If you wanted to skip to the charging session itself, you'll want to skip to like the 42 minute mark. I hope the link works because YouTube links don't show up in my feed on my work computer, but hopefully this does for you guys.
