BMW has issued a recall affecting 2011-2017 BMW X3 and 2015-2017 BMW X4 models. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the X3/X4 recall involves a problem with the lower anchor bars that are used to secure child safety seats. According to NHTSA’s defect bulletin, “when using the European-ISOFIX-type rigid-style connector child restraint system, the anchorage bars may become damaged during vehicle operation due to of excessive stresses.” That can prevent the restraint from working as intended during a collision, increasing the risk of injury to children.
However, the agency also notes that “systems using LATCH-type flexible-style connectors, which reflect the vast majority of child restraint systems used in the USA, do not cause this issue”.
UNITS AFFECTED: 188,668

BMW will be mailing recall notices to owners of these affected cars on or before July 12. Owners will be able to take their vehicles to dealerships, where a reinforcing bracket will be welded to the lower anchor bars and the vehicle body.
For questions or concerns, contact BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. Or, call NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 and ask about safety campaign #16V333000.
Premium automaker BMW is planning a major restructuring of its executive board and a shift in its electric mobility strategy, according to information obtained by Handelsblatt.
BMW declined to comment.
The automaker plans to merge its marketing and sales operations for the brands Mini and BMW and replace Friedrich Eichiner as chief financial officer.
Nicolas Peter, a close confidant of Chief Executive Harald Krüger, will take over the company’s finances from Mr. Eichiner. Mr. Peter currently serves as BMW’s head of sales in Europe.
BMW is also planning major changes in its electric mobility strategy to keep up with U.S. rival Tesla. In addition to the fully electric “i3” models, which have been in production since 2013, BMW will also offer fully electric versions of the Mini, the BMW3 series and the X4 SUV, which is built in the United States.
The supervisory board is expected to approve the new electric models during a two-day meeting at the end of the month.
BMW faces increasingly stiff competition from Tesla in the electric car market. The U.S. e-car maker has received 400,000 pre-orders for its Model 3 sedan alone. BMW’s i3, on the other hand, has struggled with falling sales in the first half of the year.
More models have been confirmed in the BMW model codes list — F98 X4M, G29 Z4, G20 3 Series lineup, G14 8 Series.
Spotted on a transport truck today is the next generation BMW X4 (G02). According to our future models map, the sleeker sibling of the X3 will arrive a few months after the next gen X3 (G01), which is scheduled to enter production in second half of this year. The X4 will follow with production in the first half of 2018. Production of the current X4 (F26) is set to end in March 2018.
The 2019 G02 X4 model lineup for the U.S. will be:
xDrive30i
xDrive M40i
X4 M (F98)
Styling wise, the new X4 clearly features a new sleeker/sportier roofline and a better resolved rear end design. New colors being introduced with the new X4 include Terra Brown and Sun Stone.
We now get a first look at the new X4 from eye level. Full gallery inside.
