2025 BMW X4 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 BMW X4 is a compact luxury crossover, and though it has four doors, it is sometimes referred to as an SUV coupe. It comes in xDrive30i and M40i trim levels. You can also get a high-performance X4 M, which we review separately.

A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (248 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) powers the X4 xDrive30i, while the X4 M40i has a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (382 hp, 369 lb-ft of torque). Both powerplants pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel-drive system. Keep reading for a rundown of the most significant features that come on each trim level.

Which X4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you've opted for the shaplier but slightly space-compromised X4 over the roomier and more stoic X3, we say go ahead and spring for the sportier powertrain as well. We like X4 M40i for its more powerful engine and adaptive suspension.
