Today, BMW informed us that the 4-Series Convertible will be the brand's sole world premiere at next month's LA Auto Show, and that while the X4 will be present, it will be displayed in concept (as a North American premier) and not in production form .
For what it's worth, the actual X4 will remain faithful to the study, and if that's not enough, our spies have chipped in with a fresh set of pictures showing the compact crossover in prototype guise having shed most of the camouflage wraps on its profile.
Designed as a smaller and more affordable sibling to the X6, which itself, will soon be replaced by a new generation model , the X4 is in essence a sportier looking but less spacious alternative to the X3 , with which it shares everything under the skin, from the 110.6-inch wheelbase (2,810mm) platform to the four- and six-cylinder diesel and gasoline engine lineup.
BMW said that production of the X4 will start next year at the company's Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, USA.
