BMW X4 Common

As of 2026 Q1, 20,769 BMW X4s remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 20,844 in 2025 Q4 — only 100% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 75 cars. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 395 (1.9%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it.

About the X4

The BMW X4 is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by BMW from 2014 to 2025. It is marketed as a sports activity coupé (SAC), the second model from BMW marketed as such after the X6, and features styling elements and the roofline of a traditional two-door coupé. The X4 is widely considered as a "coupé" version of the X3, trading its practicality with a sloping rear roof which offers a sportier styling. BMW has indicated 2025 will be the X4's final model year.
