Used 2023 BMW X4 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 BMW X4 is only available in two trim levels, the standard xDrive30i and sportier M40i. The turn-it-up-to-11 X4 M is reviewed separately. Here's a rundown of the X4's standard and optional features:

xDrive30i
Comes pretty well equipped with:

  • Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (248 hp, 258 lb-ft of torque)
  • Eight-speed automatic transmission
  • All-wheel drive
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Adaptive LED headlights

  • Power-adjustable front sport seats
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen navigation system
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

The X4 also comes standard with these driver aids:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Notable option packages include:

  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Allows for the addition of BMW Drive Recorder, a built-in dash cam recorder, as an option

M Sport package

  • Aerodynamic kit
  • M-branded steering wheel

Dynamic Handling package

  • Larger brake rotors with red or blue calipers
  • Driver-selectable Comfort and Sport modes for the M Sport suspension

M40i
This is the more performance-oriented X4. It has the same features as the xDrive30i but with:

  • Turbocharged 3.0-liter six cylinder engine (382 hp, 369 lb-ft of torque)
  • Convenience package
  • M Sport package and M Sport suspension
  • Dynamic Handling package

The Parking Assistance Plus package is also available, along with the Premium package (which, for the M40i, also includes a head-up display).

In addition, the M40i qualifies for the Driving Assistance Professional package that includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the BMW and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Front cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is about to cross the X4's path while you're moving forward)

Stand-alone options for both trims include features like leather upholstery and heated seats. Other notable stand-alone options are:

  • Wireless phone charging
  • 16-speaker premium Harman Kardon stereo
  • Remote engine start
  • Ventilated front seats

Which X4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're going to get an X4 instead of the more practical X3, we think the M40i is the one to get. It's pricier, but you get a lot more performance equipment and an engine that matches the X4's sportier looks. Also, driver aids like adaptive cruise control are only available with the Driving Assistance Professional package for the M40i.
