Munich. A pioneer celebrates an anniversary. The
200,000th BMW X4 has now come off the production line at the BMW plant
in Spartanburg/USA. With its extrovert design, versatile driving
properties and dynamic character, the first ever mid-range Sports
Activity Coupé in the premium segment has built up an impressive fan
community within just a little over four years. The anniversary
vehicle, a BMW X4 xDrive20d (combined fuel consumption:
5.6 – 5.4 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 149 – 142 g/km) in the
paint finish Alpine White metallic, will be delivered to a customer in Asia.
This latest production anniversary also marks the start of the final
sprint for the first-generation BMW X4. The model’s production is
scheduled to end in March 2018. The BMW X4 has been built at the
Spartanburg site since 2014. The BMW plant in the US state of South
Carolina is the “Home of BMW x models” for the BMW X models within the
BMW Group’s global production network. In addition to the BMW X4, the
models BMW X3, BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7 are produced for the world
market at this plant.
The BMW X4 shares with these models not just the production location
but also a leading role in terms of innovative concepts. With this
model, BMW once again created a new category of vehicle. Since its
launch, other manufacturers have been inspired by this fascinating
concept of a mid-range Sports Activity Coupé for the premium segment.
Due to its enormous popularity, the first BMW X4 contributed
significantly to the continuously increasing market success of the BMW
X models. Combining robust all-round qualities with the sporty
elegance of a BMW coupé, the model succeeded in arousing the
enthusiasm of new target groups for the unique driving pleasure
offered by a BMW X model.
