2019 BMW X4 Review | Identity Crisis 

I love how everyone hates how this car looks....makes me want it more😳

People: My sedan is too short. BMW: Uh-huh People: I need more interior volume BMW: Got it. People: Some ground clearance pls BMW: Okay People: Make it drive like a car BMW: Say no more fam... *Gives us X6 X4* People: Wait, did you just take a regular SUV and remove some cargo capa.... BMW: *YOU WILL LIKE THIS!!!!*

I would never buy this, but Geese made this video so I'll watch it.

Nobody that buys these cars watches these videos, and anyone watching these videos wouldn't buy this car. It's one of the largest injustices in this world.

When the meth manufacturer gets tired of his Aztek...

Idk, that rear end is just an instant "No Thanks".

Unpopular Opinion: ...I find every single Coupe Crossover SUV in existence... simply pointless. This is no exception. ...Was there ever a target market for these things to begin with?

I have a 2019 x4 30i. LOVE my ride. Gets up and go. There are different packages.

I love the styling of these crossovers like the X6, X4, GLC Coupe, GLE Coupe. It’s odd and it’s mission is not about the functionality. It’s about the style. If you want the full functionality then buy the X3 and let stylish people buy the X4. I like anything odd looking so I’m one of those people who like this car. It’s perfect for what I would want it for. I don’t plan of having lots of kids, I don’t drive around with lots of friends, i don’t put lots of crap in the trunk, I don’t like big SUVs, I like cars but a car with a bit more presence like this odd looking X4 is exactly what someone like me would drive.

Your videos are a delight - calm and sophisticated to watch, excellent detail, and you’re fun. Thank you.

Nice thumbnail it’s different, can you do the x0.4 next please. Thanks

Honestly one of the best review channel on RU-vid! You guys are so underrated. Keep up the good work

i like how you give every car the respect it deserves and production quality wise too.

I think what people mean is you take beautiful shots of the car, still and moving. They would just like to see more of that. The way you set the shot up, the lighting and the unique way you move around the car, it’s cinematic perfection.

Excellent car reviews. One of the best channels on RU-vid.

Glad to hear you're finally warming up to the infotainment system.

Not a bmw person but still had to watch due to the quality of the video ...

'Really like the occasional camera view thru the steering wheel, SG, to watch the tach and speedo while accelerating. In fact (as always), the entire video production should win awards.

Enjoy your videos. Thank you for making them. I kindly request the 2019 Edge ST next 😊

I really like your videos ! You are doing a great job. Greeting from Germany

Imagine what the x4 m40i is capable of on a straight line and how fun to drive, even this small 4 cylinder is fast enough

Great camera work again.

Dont have any intention of buying a beemer but still watched this episode because this guy does such good reviews!

Another honest car review and quality video !!!

Thanks for the review of BMWs SAC I think a lot of people enjoyed viewing BMWs shiny black SAC.

Love the camera work. It’s beautiful in every video you create. Vehicle, not so beautiful, but the production quality is amazing so of course I’m gonna watch the whole thing lol.

In my opinion this is the best infotainment in the business. Physical controls for everything use on a daily basis and there is the screen for redundancy. Very nice interior and I like the integration of the analog dials and digital display.

excellent review of pros and cons - keep it up.

Great and honest review.... Supports why I'm going the X4 M40i performance... 286kw plenty of off the line pull. Cheers.

That moving zoom/focus pull shot in the intro was nice.

I love the look of this car. I'm coming out of an x3 soon and I'm strongly considering the x4. Good review... Thanks!

I love that it doesn't look like just another suv on the road. It stands out; I'd consider leasing one

First video i seen under the car, Great Job

This guys car analysis makes Doug Demuro look like a kindergarten teacher for special needs. I always learn something new from this dude - he should be called the professor of car reviews. Thank you.

Great video, as always. I have an F30 335i with the M performance kit and the adaptive suspension and they pretty much solve all of the issues you talked about. I’d love for you to review it. I had a loaner X4 and I definitely saw that your complaints were justified. If you can, do a f30 335i or 340i next!!

What a great review - so glad they stuck to just integers.

Great review!

If viewers want more shots of the exterior, they should just look them up on their own time. My favorite parts of your videos are the interior and underbody segments with commentary. Keep it up!

One of the few people on RU-vid you KNEW was going to tell you that this thing is painful to look at. These reviews are awesome.

I love your videos, thank you for posting. I agree with you, the X4 is a strange creation and not for everyone. Glad I went with the X3 straight six engine.

The camera effect at 0:34 was like something out of a horror movie. And it was awesome.

Amsazing quality video. Thank you

I love that feeling of Gran Turismo music at 14:23 it's so smooth

The X4 is that weird Uncle in the family that changed his name to Janine and eats only asparagus at thanksgiving dinners so that their pee smells weird in other people's bathrooms. But still annoyingly fun to drive. Epic vid. And beautiful drone shots in this one.

Liked before even watching it.

Hello geese, I really would appreciate it if your were to review the Acura rlx sports hybrid 2019. I enjoy your expertise and your video editing and quality. Thanks.

I had the X3 35i, with 300hp, and it was fantastic except for the initial start off like you mention. Consensus on forums is that BMW “softens” the launch via tuning/software and has done this on many different models. Otherwise I would avoid the 4cyl on the suvs as a rule, it’s just too much weight. Buy the 6 turbo and you’ll enjoy it far better.

I like this style of body. I like the offroad/hatchback/sedan crossover type thing its got going on. combination of passenger space, cargo space, and some rugged capability - with the possibility of some speed and handling ability too. That is what you see when looking at the exterior of it.

Great interior. I also like the brown-grey on the outside, as well.

Thanks for the great research and info on all vehicles. Really laying it down how it is. Have fun dissing on these questionable machines--heck, people buy them anyway. I look forward for a review on a modern car that is 10 out of 10.

This thing is absolutely hideous 🤢🤮. Great video as always

That overrun on the lower strip of chrome trim by the mirror fucks with my head, man

Video coming in the future for the new 3 series?

Can’t wait for your new x5/7 review

I have the 3 series wagon. I think fixes most of the criticisms you have on the X4. For me it is the perfect car. Room and handles like a car should.

Whenever I see this on the road, I'm always more Careful. You have to be a certain kind of person to get one of these. Great review though :) I too find it difficult to put my eyes on it

Agree with you. Remind me of the Honda Crosstour 2011. Only a mother could love it!

One of the things that we like with the X3 is the rear seat comfort and room. How are the rear seats in the X4?

I never thought this shape worked on a car this size like it does on a bigger car like the X6 which I had in the first generation. Still miss that car. That’s one reason why I’ve recently pushed the button on a X3 instead of the X4, though not with the 4 cylinder 3.0i but the M40i with adaptive suspension.

This sure is quite the BMW SAC.

Who would have thought something called Savagegeese would be one of the best video reviews on vehicles? Thank you! I wish you would review the X4 40i.

good review bro

these videos look abosolutely stunning in 4K HDR Tv's

It looks amazing

I know everyone has done one by now, but can you PLEASE review the M40i versions of the X3 and X4? I want to hear your opinions on those enhanced (albeit still not fully M) trim levels. I want to know if those trims are better and worth the upgrade.

This is one of the best reviews of vehicles: neutral delivery without BMW "imperiousness". This review is well worded, fair, and does not make a big show or deal of the BMW badge. Well done.

I very much agree with Your difficulties to look at this 'thing'. I needed my 2 hands to hold back my breakfast before I reached the sink and hit the button by 1:48.

That Hitchcock Vertigo dolly zoom at 0:32. Nice.

Ridley Scott would be proud of your shots bro. I feel like the X4 just needs some MUD tires, that would help, right off that bat! Nice to hear about good infotainment, wish Lexus would take some notes... I'd never buy a big money waster, but as always, I'll watch whatever you put out Mr. Goose.

Hi! Will you review the new Mazda 3 2019?

This is one of those cars where.... in the future.. “Oh, remember the 4-door coupe era? “ it’s like the AMC Pacer. It sold well initially and laughed at in hindsight.

Dude, when were you at Circuit of the Americas!? I'm going in May. Anything I should know? I'm pretty sure I'll be playing with an R8.

Sports Activity Coupes are the official vehicles of adult babies who still haven’t learned that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. “I want a coupe, but I also want 4 doors and a hatch. I also want SUV ride height, but sports car handling. Finally, I want sports car power, but econo car efficiency.” You end up with a car that does none of those things well.

I agree, the X4 is strange at best. A sort of out of proportion hunchback. What isn’t weird, however, are these reviews! Keep up these kick-ass reviews @savagegeese I haven’t watched a video yet that I didn’t agree with.

holy shit the intro noise was awesome. thought someone was breaking into my backdoor, lol!

Nice Hitchcock zoom in the intro ;)

Can you review the 2022 model? I would love to know your thoughts on it

I love the music

Well after owning a few older X3 & X5, I feel these new SAV are more practical and just as much fun to drive as the (now sadly) sedans - unless you go with the M(stuff). So for folks with 1 kid/dog that can only have one vehicle (in a city), this is definitely a good option to an X3 if you want something a bit sportier ...as the X1 & X2 are more for the "DINKs" crowd. At least their overall model lineup is less confusing than that of MB.

Edge ST ! Very excited to see that video @savagegeese

One thing that's always bugged me is that no car manufacturer matches the vehicle colour on the infotainment system to the vehicle its fitted to. Always looks like you're adjusting the settings on someone else's car. How difficult is it to code that in?

I guess I’m one of few ‘weird’ people who like this car a lot. I have been eyeing on S5 for a year until I moved to midtown Toronto where there are 4-6 major pot holes on every block thanks to the horrible weather and multiple big constructions. Punctured my tires 3 times in 6 months, etc. So I needed some ground clearance and still did not need a Regular SUV. This car did fit my needs 100%. Tried M40i and it was so much fun to drive. The exterior was so much better than the previous version. Checked the cargo and it was plenty. People complain about rear seats but I rarely have people in the back so it was not my problem. Now I have to say I ended up buying X3 M40i because fully loaded 18 X3 M40i I purchased was more than CAD10k cheaper than almost loaded 19 X4 M40i. X3 was less fun but not $10k less. I agree it is a niche car and I think BMW knows that too because every dealership I know carries only couple of X4 while they have easily 15-20 of X3s. But just like GLC Coupe I see this more on the road and I believe they are becoming more practical. I know so many people hate this type of cars with passion but I don’t think they will fade away anytime soon lol

Parallax @0:32 was SWEET!

At 11:50 you talk about how the turbolag is a big concern for when you want to quickly merge into traffic. I have a 330e, and im pretty sure its the exact same engine as this x430i, except ive got more of that instant torque from the electric system so merging isnt that much of a concern for me. Have you tried the hybrid system of BMWs?

By "aluminum" do you mean Aluminium (Ai)? Sorry, I had to say it. It annoys me when people get it wrong. Very nice video, as per usual. 👍😊

I have this car and I love it.

Appreciate showing underbody

I’m in Montclair NJ, I see your NJ plates. Would you review my new old stock VW Touareg TDI ?

The point of the sports suspension is that you can drive it like you drive a normal car otherwise you would need to be more cautios if you need faster turns for example you can overtake with more confidence. Also it gives better clearance over obstacles but luxury cars are not for off road adventures. On country roads it’s so stiff almost like only the wheels dampens the ride

Did I miss something, was this the 4 or 6 cylinder? I didn’t notice the “M” on the chrome markings. If it’s the 4 cylinder then Im curious how the 6 cylinder does off the line.

It's not often that someone speaks slow enough to need 2x speed, but RU-vid is here to meet that need.

Can you review the Toyota Four Runner Trd Pro? It seems like the reviews are all over the place. Consumer reports gave it horrible scores, KBB liked it, etc. My question is to see if it’s a good vehicle, that will last for a long time and that it is enjoyable to live with as a daily driver. Thanks

I think the motor has been overly hampered with boost by gear, it should pull harder in the lower gears. I heave the European version in my 2 series and for how powerful it feels in 3rd, it should feel far more savage in first but it’s not, it just revs out smoothly but a little slower than one would expect. However where I have a manual and far less weight than this car, in sport mode, even in comfort if you give it the revs it will absolutely launch and launch harder than the NA straight 6 cars.

I’ve debated the market for this car for a while. It’s the person looking to dip into the crossover market but the X1 or X3 is just too pedestrian. This is the classic upsell from those for people who assume ugly cars are just the direction we’re headed and it’s just what people have to do to be considered sporty and trendy these days

I noticed the throttle response issue in a new 330i I had for a week vs. my '04 ZHP (manual). By the numbers I'd bet that the new 330i is as quick as the ZHP - but the manual transmission and the I6 respond with near electric-car reflexes while that I-4turbo has to think about it and even that magnificent ZF can't save it.

When you're discussing your conclusion, the the hood-headlight view looks a lot like an Escape.

First thing i did on my e36 m3 was to toss out the variable non linear steering rack and stick in a proportional z3 rack.

I wanna see you review the X4 M now for the giggles

Please make a bmw X5 plug in hybrid video!

I really like it.
