BMW X4 SUV Orange

Warranty Direct, which publishes a Reliability Index to show which cars are most reliable and how much they cost to put right, doesn't have enough data to rate the first- or second-generation BMW X4. However, older versions of the X3 are rated as poor. The second-generation X4 has more in common with the third-generation X3, so it's certainly possible that the new X4 could be more durable. Warranty Direct's data puts BMW in the lower half of the manufacturer rankings, slightly below Mercedes-Benz in its league table of manufacturers, but ahead of Audi. However, JD Power’s 2018 Vehicle Dependability Study, which looks at more recent models, has BMW last of all the manufacturers, which is worrying. Should anything go wrong, BMW’s three-year/unlimited mileage warranty is broadly in line with the cover offered by most rivals.
