Thanks: BigTimeAuto 2024 BMW X4 M Starting at $ Highs: Gut-punch acceleration, seemingly limitless cornering grip, brassy exhaust sounds at full chat. Lows: Not everyone will like the aggressive styling, not as practical as the boxier X3 M, Competition model's overly stiff ride will loosen your fillings. Verdict: Even though it looks like an SUV, the X4 M channels the M4 sports coupe to surprising effect. Overview If not for its tall seating position and rear doors, the 2024 BMW X4 M could be confused for the brand's other performance-oriented model with a “4“ in its name—the M4 coupe. Under the SUV's hood is the same twin-turbo straight-six that motivates its sports-car kin, with the engine making up to 503 horsepower. Here's the thing: the mightiest X4 isn't based on the two-door M4. Instead, it's a fastback version of the boxier X3 M, which itself is based on the more mainstream X3 SUV. BMW just added so much performance-enhancing hardware that it seems like an entirely different vehicle, especially the harder-edged Competition model. The X4 M Competition we tested hit 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds, and it has razor-sharp handling, even by sports-sedan standards. However, the tradeoff is a ride so stiff that hitting a pothole will basically bounce your eyeballs loose from their sockets. Still, those who live in areas with well-kept roads, the 2024 X4 M is the closest thing to an M4 you can get while still being able to fit child seats in the back or pick up friends from the airport. What's New for 2024? BMW makes no significant changes to the X4 M for 2024. It's offered with the same powertrain and features as last year's model. Pricing and Which One to Buy X4 M: $80,095 X4 M Competition: $87,095 The Competition model's higher-output engine is attractive, but its unforgiving suspension setup is too stiff for daily driving. Instead, we'd save the money and go with the more compliant and still plenty powerful standard X4 M. We'd also splurge on both the Driving Assistance Plus package, which adds adaptive cruise control and more advanced driver-assistance features. The Executive package is also an intriguing option, as it includes a Wi-Fi hotspot, a head-up display, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, a wireless smartphone charging, and a self-parking feature. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Both models come with a twin-turbocharged inline-six, standard all-wheel drive, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The X4 M's engine produces 473 horsepower, but the Competition model gets dialed up to 503. When we tested the Competition at our test track, it delivered brutal acceleration, jumping to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. That beats the X4's main rival, the Mercedes-AMG GLC63, which blasted to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds. In fact, the X4 M Competition even out-accelerated BMW's famed M3 sports sedan, in part due to the added traction that comes from its standard all-wheel-drive system. (The M3 in question was the rear-drive version; all-wheel drive was added as an option in 2022). The standard X4's driving character is already sharp, and the M division's retuning of the suspension has provided an even firmer ride and dialed in even more impressive cornering grip.
