2022 BMW X4 xDrive 30i: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@NONARCS]

Gotta say man, you are actually one of the best reviewers I have seen. You talk about the noise and handling, acceleration. You really let me know what this was like. Thanks!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Wow I really appreciate that thank you so much! Glad you like it Happy New Year to you and your family!

[@mdino7]

Thank you for the video- been checking KZbin daily for a 2022 x4 review., - well done. I ordered mine last week, ( Msport package, shadow line, premium package, parking assistance package) and got a pretty good deal in this current market. should be coming mid sept - can’t wait!!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks man! I really liked this car I think you will too.. drives and looks fantastic, while still being a class above in terms of luxury and quality. Appreciate your comment!

[@lnb0058]

How have you been liking it?

[@799ramon]

You gave a great review. I have just received my X4 four days ago. You brought items to my attention I was not aware of especially in the drive modes. I will initiate that driving experience to further incorporate the awareness in my edification. Thank you for the heads up.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy the car and I appreciate your comment!

[@Popnlockndude]

What a great review! Love your energy and the speed at which you speak, no hiccups, not scripted just natural! Greeting from Germany!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words and support!

[@riccardobaldanzi2021]

Thank you very much for the thorough review. I have bought mine after seeing your job.

[@woodson1910]

Thanks for doing an 2022 X4 30i review because these reviews seem to be rare, usually its all about the X4M but I have both the 22’ X3/X4 30i and very impressed on both comfort, sporty feel, and most of all, the Tech….! You have to drive it to believe it!

[@chrissyt3005]

Hands down the best car purchase I’ve made!

[@sandrak2043]

Thanks so much for your review! My husband & I test drove this car today & I now have a tough decision because I assumed I’d be getting the X3…we hadn’t planned on looking at the X4 but we both liked it so much & liked driving it more than the X3. Ugh decisions!

[@Heart911.]

So which car did you chose?

[@sandrak2043]

@@Heart911. we ended up with a 330ix drive sedan instead. Long story! But thanks again for your great review of the X4. I hope i don’t regret not choosing that one!

[@drbmaitra]

Thanks for the beautiful fact-filled review. Yes, X4 is really a gem and by the way I never share it with my better half. She drives the E200 Exclusive which I do not find exhilarating to drive. E200 is like my boss who never smiles but the X4 is like my kid who is always full of energy and fun. Thanks, again for this fantastic neutral review.

[@MinJR1]

Fantastic review! Getting base model very soon!

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks man! Good luck with the car, I think you’ll really like it.. I appreciate your comment!

[@stanleymalcolm9799]

Beautiful just class l really like the sound and look it’s off the chain sweet car on point as usual from BMW 👍👍😉

[@WTFCRLT1]

Glad you liked it! I really enjoyed it too thanks for the comment!

[@honguenloh4612]

One of the better looking presenters from the USA!:)

[@AlFred-hq6bi]

Great review! To open the Trunk you onlly have to push the BMW logo, no need to pull it up.

[@karissakline6765]

Ours you can kick underneath the bumper and it opens hands free!

[@Bryza25a]

Thanks for a great review!

Palm Harbor, FL (Palm Springs is in CA). Palm Harbor is just north of Clearwater. :)

[@carinafine5809]

You did a great review I just think you talk a little too fast especially for women that don’t know a lot of the stuff so I need you to slow down just a little bit

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you! Definitely something I’ll be working on you’re not the first to mention exactly that!

[@Kratos-pt1eh]

great review.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thank you!

[@ToOpen6seven]

I have an important question - when you look at the sticker options, it says $2,900 for the M Sport Package and then there is a cost of $1,550 for the M Sport Package breakdown. It looks like some double charging is going on here. What is included in the first M Sport Package for $2,900. Sorry if this should be obvious, but it really isn't.

[@WTFCRLT1]

It’s confusing but the 2,900 is for the m sport package itself, and the 1,500 is for the optional M individual rims. I don’t know why it’s labeled like that either, but they’re not double charging. Appreciate the comment!

[@ToOpen6seven]

@@WTFCRLT1 Thank you and it does get confusing.

[@estebanhidalgo958]

What do you think about X3 vs X4, im going to buy one of this, but im undecided: x3 or x4 30i + Msport pack, wait for a x3 m40i or wait more for a x4 m40i? I'll apreciate your advice. Thanks for this review, very complete!

[@WTFCRLT1]

The X3 and X4 are honestly close enough price wise where I’d go with which ever I thought looked better. Power plants are pretty similar, so are the interiors. I also personally think the M40i is a better value and probably the best platforms that bmw sells for the money, but if cost is a serious concern, the 30i is also a great value. Tough question to answer but if I had to choose the perfect bmw suv under $60k, I’m going with an X3 M40i all day.

[@abiodunfolagboye4987]

This is one of the best review I’ve seen . You did a great job. My question is what’s the major difference between X4 xdrive 30i and x4 M40i

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks! There’s a big difference between the two. Although the m40i has a $10k higher base price, the 30i uses a 2.0T 4cyl (248hp 258 lbft 0-60: 6-6.5 seconds) while the M40i uses the B58 twin scroll turbo inline 6 cylinder which likely makes over 400hp and torque and can do 60 around 4 seconds! I personally think the $10k is worth it

[@matthewpachikara2621]

Great Review. Do you know why some 2022 x4 xDrive30i models come with the brushed aluminum honeycomb grill versus the glossy black honeycomb grill?

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks man! The shadowline package includes the gloss black grill. Without the package, it would be brushed aluminum

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

One year ago today!!! Might try to afford it.

[@frankbafumi7025]

Liked the review, but you didn’t lift the floor in the trunk area to show how much space is in there.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Ahh I’ll make sure to add that in on the 2023 review when I get the chance! 👍🏼

[@realitycheck6874]

How can you not cover the headroom in the back seat? Disappointed by the review

[@jaythomasni]

Where is this made? Germany / South Carolina ?

[@TaylorSwiftsScarf]

Wait you can’t lock all doors via the rear doors?

[@JoseGarcia-hz9zx]

I have one question: which is better X4 or Mercedes GLC Coupé ?

[@WTFCRLT1]

I personally prefer the way BMW’s drive with their balance between luxury and performance. If you prioritize luxury over performance, id go for the GLC however the X4 is still plenty luxurious in my opinion.

[@dgeo0392]

Good video. I'm not a fan of the tablet slapped to the dash.

[@richardgeorges3405]

2 Questions: does the seat move back or downwards when you enter or leave the car? And does the 2020 model have remote start?

[@Soritaaa]

Hey man, I oredred a 2022 x4 m40i the other day, would you say it is much better than the 30i? What is your experience,, THANKS

[@WTFCRLT1]

I personally think it’s a big upgrade. The 30i is more than enough power for daily driving, However the M40i makes this SUV a truly thrilling experience. I think it’s worth the difference in price, especially if you’re comparing it to a well equipped 30i. Thanks for the comment I think you’ll love the car!

[@Soritaaa]

@@WTFCRLT1 Thank!!!

[@garynapoli3042]

I’m picking up a 21 on Thursday what’s the differences I didn’t know there was a different armrest please help. I know it was a couple years ago for you.

[@quailgod7251]

How tall are you wondering would this be a good car for someone 6’3

[@WTFCRLT1]

I’m a little over 6’ and had more than enough space. Even in the back seat I had a few inches of headroom. Appreciate the comment!

[@quailgod7251]

Thank you

[@raaazv]

Question… So I don’t understand how is the grille black on the xdrive30i?? I’m ordering one but never got or found an option for black grille?! I’ve seen many videos of 30i and some grilles are black some are grey. I can’t seem to find anything that let’s u customize it black on the bmw website!

[@AlFred-hq6bi]

The grille black is part of the M package.

[@WTFCRLT1]

The black grill is part of the shadowline package. Without the package you just get the standard silver grill

[@ralphbelton432]

How do you get a 30i with head up display?

[@Slighcetunes]

Great review bro

[@WTFCRLT1]

Thanks man! 👍🏼

[@drsamueldsp]

Which is better overall X3 or the X4?

[@user-gc7jl2gs7c]

Is the surround view option omitted as it became a facelift this time?

[@mdino7]

no, the surround view is still available if you order the parking assistance package which is a $700 option for the x4. it is not available on the 2022 x3.

[@Orphnx]

Actually surprised how nice the startup/ engine sounds with these exhausts - especially for a 2.0 I4. Is this a normal xDrive 30i or does it have the M package?

[@WTFCRLT1]

Yes this X4 has the M Sport Package but I don’t believe that has any effect on the exhaust. I agree that this 2.0t sounds really good and it feels even better on the road. One of the only turbo engines that truly builds power all the way to redline. Thanks for the comment!

[@Orphnx]

@@WTFCRLT1 How much extra is the X4 M40i? And in your personal opinion is it worth the upgrade? I saw on the specs sheet that there were 2 M sport package listed and im confused. If you opt for the M sport package, it comes with the 21” wheels, etc right? Then whats the $2900 one?

[@WTFCRLT1]

The M40i is an extra $10k so personally, I’ll take a base M40i over a 3.0i with a bunch of options since even the base models come standard with everything I’d need. I was also confused by the 2 m sport packages on the sticker but the package itself was $2900 but this particular spec had the 21 inch individual rf M rims with ran an additional $1,550. They could’ve probably made it make sense better on the sticker but hope that makes sense!

[@Orphnx]

@@WTFCRLT1 Ah ok - thanks for the prompt reply. Im waiting for the xDrive 30i M sport package to come in in my local BMW dealership which is why im confused which M sport package it is. Personally im sold by how the 2.0t sounds - 3.0 may be quick and sounds better but i think it might be an overkill.

[@WTFCRLT1]

@@Orphnx you’re right the 2.0t is plenty quick with a very nice sound to go along with it. Add the M sport package and it becomes a seriously fun suv with the luxury to back it up. Hopefully the car comes in soon and hope you enjoy!

[@karimawilson4312]

This 2022 model x4 doesn’t have remote start either?

[@MissBiancaRenee]

You have to add it on, but it’s crazy that it doesn’t come with it automatically

[@Donswavey609]

Does it have ambient lighting?

[@amaria13]

yes

[@stephenr6194]

Sounds like a Honda Civic 👍👍👍

[@johnadams9044]

Only BMW stitches their plastic. Only BMW has their tachometer running BACKWARDS. ONLY BMW delivers their cars with cluttered confusing dash control layouts. Only BMW switchgear feels lower quality that Hyundai and Kia.

[@mypointofview6118]

Only John Adams watches a BMW video to criticize lol 😂 if you don’t like it why watch it ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@zxlrxsyxd]

not only bmw has their speedo backwards 😂.

[@zeppelinfloyd6292]

Buy a Kia then...

[@robertw.1499]

You should know that using a "Fish Eye Lense Camera" distorts the image and gives the viewer an unrealistic view of the car, in this case!

[@Wtoreklolek]

Te vents on the sides and on the front edges - these are fake :D surprised that you didnt know that…

But, But, But, But....
