With only 6 owner complaints reported so far and 2 recalls, this model year continues a recent downward trend in issues from the 2020 peak of 14 complaints, though its top concerns center on the service brakes and forward collision avoidance systems.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 BMW X4 represents the low point of a decade-long reliability arc for this generation. Consumer complaints peaked at 14 in 2020, then steadily declined—11 in 2018, 9 in 2019, 6 in 2021, 3 in 2022, 7 in 2023, 2 in 2024, and 0 in 2025—while recalls followed a similar downward trajectory from 10 in 2020 to just 1 in both 2025 and 2026. The Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) dropped sharply from a high of 269 in 2019 to 47 in 2023-2024, then to 11 in 2025, indicating the manufacturer has addressed the most common issues through engineering updates and parts revisions. The 2025 model carries forward the single active recall from its predecessor years, and the four complaint categories (service brakes/forward collision avoidance, suspension, steering, and lane departure) each appear just once, suggesting isolated rather than systemic concerns. With zero crash-related complaints and zero fire complaints, the 2025 model demonstrates the lowest complaint rate in the generation's federal record. This is a favorable year to buy, as the vehicle has reached a mature stage where early-generation defects have been resolved, warranty coverage remains fresh, and the recall backlog has been substantially cleared.
