The 2014 BMW X4 has been revealed, spotted during a commercial shoot.

Commercial photo or video shoots for the upcoming BMW X4 have commenced, with this commercial shoot being witnessed by a BIMMERPOST member in downtown Dallas.

We’ve shown you stills, now have a live look at the BMW X4 SAV prototype undergoing testing on the Nurburgring and around town.

The “baby X6″ will stick close to its concept design, as shown by this video, the reposted spy photos below, and the revealed patent design images.

As with the X3, the X4 will be produced in Spartanburg, SC.

The aerodynamic kit includes the M Sport front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts and body color matched fenders, which can be seen on this prototype.

This model also features the adaptive LED headlights seen in the patents.

Here’s a real life look at the upcoming BMW X4 SAV versus the current X3. Both cars share the same platform.

First BMW revealed the upcoming BMW X4 in concept form, then came the photoshops of what it could look like in various colors, and now in the next stage of online followship of the new BMW, come the very first prototypes of the production version.

The styling is where the real differences seem to be. And thankfully, it seems the production X4 will stay true to the path laid out by the concept car.
