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.
Distinctive look.
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 emphasize 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.
Powerful and economical.
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 265 kW/360 hp at between
5,800 and 6,000 rpm from its three-litre capacity, providing a
maximum torque of 465 Nm (combined fuel consumption: 8.6 l/100 km;
combined CO2 emissions: 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).
Superior driving dynamics.
The specially tuned sports chassis of the new BMW X4 M40i
provides driving dynamics at an advanced level. Stronger springs and
stabilizers, 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 a maximum of driving pleasure.
* Consumption values were determined on the basis of the EU test cycle, depending on the wheel and tyre sizes.
