More matte black! Here we have a fine first generation pre-facelift BMW X4 4.4i in matte black, seen on a second hand car market in China. Strangely there was no price tag and the owner of the shop shouted at me that I was not allowed to take any pictures! Well then, we will see about that…

The pre-facelift X5 4.4i was made from 2000 until 2003. Power came from a 4.4 liter V8, good for 290hp. The BMW X5 is a mighty popular automachine in China, especially the V8 powered versions. We got us a nice collection: Shuanghuan SCEO, silver, crash, the mad X55, and another matte black.
