M model added to X4

EXCLUSIVITY: LATEST BMW CONTINUES SETTING NEW STANDARDS Performance control guarantees maximum driving pleasure.

With the introduction of the new BMW X4 M40i, the successful BMW X4 series has gained a new top model. In the Sports Activity Coupe segment (SAC), the BMW X4 M40i is setting new standards with even more keenly-honed driving dynamics, a high degree of emotionalism and singular exclusivity.

The exterior of the new BMW X4 M40i demonstrates clearly the high standards set by BMW M Performance automobiles. Exclusive accents of colour on the front of the vehicle and the side mirrors finished in metallic Ferric Grey as well as the exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy double-spoke wheels with the Ultra High Performance tyre mix (optional) and the sports exhaust system with valve control and Chrome Black tailpipes on both sides emphasise the unique character of the new BMW X4 M40i.

In the interior too, the typical character of the BMW M is always present. The M leather steering wheel, the M gear shift lever, the sport seats and model-specific door sills provide a foretaste of imminent driving pleasure, just like the “X4 M40i” digital lettering on the instrument cluster.

A newly-developed M performance TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder petrol engine celebrates its world premiere in the new BMW X4 M40i. This petrol engine delivers 265kW between 5800 and 6000 rpm from its 3.0 litre capacity, providing a maximum torque of 465Nm.

The BMW X4 M40i has a claimed combined fuel consumption of 8.6 litres/100km along with combined CO2 emissions of 199 g/ km. With this high-performance engine and the advanced M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology, the BMW X4 M40i accelerates in less than five seconds to 100 km/h and can reach a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited) it is said.

The specially-tuned sports chassis of the new BMW X4 M40i provides driving dynamics at an advanced level. Stronger springs and stabilisers, increased camber on the front axle, the adaptive dampers specifically tuned to M Performance specifications and the BMW xDrive four wheel drive system with its rear wheel-drive characteristics including Performance Control, ensure a neutral self-steering response as well as a reduced roll tendency and guarantee maximum driving pleasure.
