The BMW X4 shares the same platform with its X3 sibling, except where the X3 takes shape as a traditional SUV the X4 features coupé-like styling and is known as a SAC or Sports Activity Coupé. Thus owners can expect that the model has the same comprehensive warranty and maintenance plan included in the purchase price.

All the variants are covered by a 2-year / unlimited-distance warranty which can be optionally extended. Also included in the purchase price of the vehicle is a 5-year / 100 000km maintenance plan.

Recommended
Be sure to adhere to the maintenance schedule as some warranties are directly attached to the wear and tear of serviceable components. Also, should you notice any unfamiliar noises or experience operational characteristics that you haven't experienced before, it is recommended to contact the 24-hour roadside assistance that is included with the purchase of the vehicle and confirm whether you should drive the vehicle to your closest dealership, or if they will need to come and fetch the vehicle to avoid any additional damage.
