If you’re in the market for a family-friendly sedan but secretly crave the speed of a sports car, the 2024 BMW X4 M could be the vehicle for you. This four-door luxury SUV looks like an everyday runaround, but sporty performance upgrades have it firing out the starting blocks and cornering like a pro. We take a look at five performance features of the X4 M.
1. Engine Power
It’s not often an SUV engine would be described as a thing of beauty, but the X4 M’s engine is an exception. BMW has given this crossover SUV the same 3.0-liter inline twin-turbocharged six-cylinder engine that powers the ever-popular M4 high-performance coupe. As such, the X4 M delivers a mighty 473 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. If you’re after a bit more kick, upgrade to the available Competition Package, which boosts horsepower to a breathtaking 503.
2. Transmission
The X4 M pairs the engine with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission with Drivelogic. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters make changing gear a breeze, and drivers can choose between manual and sport shift modes. As a result, you get smooth, precise gear changes at the touch of a button.
3. Acceleration
Thanks to all that power under the hood, the X4 M accelerates from 0-60 in just 3.9 seconds. Again, the available Competition Package improves upon this, reducing the time by 0.2 seconds.
4. Adaptive M Suspension
Sport-focused performance upgrades on this year’s X4 M include BMW’s Adaptive M Suspension. This sensor-controlled system automatically adapts the suspension to the condition of the road. These split-second amendments mean every drive is smooth and comfortable, whether driving on a bumpy street, a flat highway, or taking a steep bend.
5. Driver Assist Features
Drivers are a huge part of how a vehicle performs, so the features that assist the driver also enhance performance. As such, the X4 M is packed with useful features designed to improve safety and help you remain focused on the road ahead while still keeping track of your surroundings. All information is clearly displayed on the digital instrument panel.
Frontal collision warning alerts you to any upcoming obstacles, while active blind spot detection lets you know if a vehicle is in your blind spot when changing lanes. Other useful performance assistance includes lane departure warnings and speed limit info.
The new BMW X4 M combines family-friendly practicality with outstanding power to deliver a sporty performance-driven SUV. From its quick acceleration to its seamless shift changes, this is one SUV that truly performs for its owner.
