It’s not just a drive; it’s a statement of power and elegance, ready to change perspectives and command attention. Witness the BMW X4 M redefine speed and style, offering a heart-racing experience steeped in BMW’s legacy. It’s the X4 M’s time to shine, promising a ride that balances speed, power, and grace in a statement-making performance.
Since BMW’s mid-2021 Life Cycle Impulse update, the latest X4 M only comes in the thrilling Competition form. Boasting 510 horsepower and 650 Newton-meters of torque, it shoots from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a staggering 3.8 seconds. Yet, in recent real-world tests, this over 2,000-kilogram beast defied expectations, clocking the sprint in just 3.75 seconds. It’s not just a speedster; it’s a testament to BMW’s commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining performance. It also promises adrenaline-pumping rides each time you hit the road.
The X4 M Competition recently stunned in tests. It achieves 0-200 km/h in 13.13 seconds and completes a quarter-mile in 11.66 seconds. It sprinted from 100 to 200 km/h in just 9.38 seconds, showcasing remarkable speed. The dash noted a peak of 174 mph (281 km/h). GPS also confirmed a top speed of 170 mph (274 km/h).

If you’re eyeing this distinct M vehicle, act swiftly; insiders report BMW will not offer a third-generation X4 with combustion engines.
