BMW X4 M (2019 – current) | Professional Ranking


Summary


The BMW X4 M is a mid-size SUV/crossover and the performance-enhanced version of the regular second-generation X4 coupé-SUV. First arriving on UK roads in 2019, the X4 M is effectively the X3 M SUV in a less boxy shape, featuring a sloping roofline and a liftback tailgate.

Like the X3 M line-up, the X4 M range consists of three models – the petrol-powered 360hp ‘M40i’ and diesel-engined 340hp ‘M40d’, and the range-topping 510hp ‘M Competition’ trim grade.

Auto Trader explains that BMW’s X4 M aim was simple, “to take the basic X4 model and make it as monstrous to drive as the M4 sports car“, and several UK motoring outlets conclude that the German brand has succeeded. “It’s tremendously fast and grippy through the corners”, says the What Car? team, while Carwow comments that the X4 M is “more agile than an SUV has any right to be.”

That said, reviewers cite the same issues that hindered the X3 M’s review scores. James Brodie of Auto Express argues that the car’s suspension is “rock hard”, while Autocar‘s Matt Saunders says that the car’s powerful engines are “a little flat on character”.

Should you want to opt for the X4 M’s raked rear end styling over the X3 M’s boxy SUV looks, you will have to contend with its more expensive price tag too. As Carwow concludes, the “X3 M Competition is cheaper, more practical and every bit as good to drive.”

As of February 2023, the BMW X4 M holds an Expert Rating of 54%, based on ten reviews published by the UK motoring media.
