Unbelievable performance and style
5 out of 5 starsBrent Gibson, 06/22/2021
2021 BMW X4 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
Another Gen-Xer found his rhythm. I prefer to purchase vehicles that no one needs to ever buy. The X4M Comp falls in that category. We splurged for the Competition Package because well, it's even more aggressive and rare than the X4M "base."
In an event, this car will move you in terms of acceleration, handling, comfort, and sound. Even in Anodyne White, it's a head turner. What … surprised me was the level of practicality. I recently took the family on a short road trip and we comfortably fit three adults, one car seat, and a mid-sized child. We also were able to pack lightly but completely.
There are a lot of comments in the review-verse about a rough ride. I honestly don't find this to be the case. Granted I am comparing to an X2 M35i and a MINI, but still, when you soften the X4M up with all the comfort and quiet settings, it's nearly as comfy as our old X5. I prefer a stiffer car, but it's nearly sedan-like in full comfort settings. My day-to-day is Sport Plus in engine and steering, Sport in suspension, middle setting (Sport) for transmission and exhaust baffles open. I love the way that rides around town and on short trips. On longer cruises, I will go to comfort in all settings, quiet the exhaust, and put on the ACC. With these settings the car is soothing and you'll risk falling asleep.
Things to keep in mind: Winter tires (and perhaps rims) and a plan for storing and mounting them, non run-flat tires, getting used to the automatic parking and ACC functions, the 1000-way adjustable seats...too many choices, ground clearance if you are venturing off paved roads, insurance premium up-ticks, and locating a track for seriously pushing the car. You really can't enjoy it fully without a track of some kind.
Cheap yet powerful M car

2020 BMW X4 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I can't believe the performance and interior styling this vehicle has. The vehicle looks better in person but is overall one of the best looking SUVs in its class. The seats are the real winner in the interior. Definitely sets it apart from all else. As stated in critic reviews, the suspension is stiff and I have had rear passengers comment on the stiffness. The luggage space is a little … nerfed due to design but still adequate. The rear visibility is almost like a sports car. But all of these things should be expected on this type of vehicle. My only real gripe is why does a turbo 6 cylinder get such poor highway gas mileage? Most turbo cars get relatively good mpg. I would have expected around 22-24 hwy mileage but this thing goes through gas like a hellcat. Overall, my favorite BMW I've owned or driven.
Love it

2021 BMW X4 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I feel like I’m on a space craft. This gen X er has found her car soul mate. I said goodbye to my 2012 and realized I had been lost in space with my beloved 528i. It’s back to college as I learn all the safety and fun upscale features. Amazing handling. Super fast and powerful engine. This is not a paid review.
Smooth Ride
