2019 BMW X4 – An Example Of An Ultimate Driving Machine
2019 BMW X4 Review
In the past, I have recommended always buying the best vehicle in a class rather than a smaller, cheaper version of a vehicle from that brand. In other words, if you are buying a vehicle in the $30,000 range, don't buy a "cheap" BMW, Lexus or Mercedes, but rather the top of the line model from...
