2016 BMW X4 M40i: May Contain Traces of M2

2016 BMW X4 M40i – More dynamic thanks, among other things, to a modified front-end camber angle that makes the SUV more incisive when entering corners.

Great handling: the Sport SUV sticks to the asphalt.

N55 engine: turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine that develops 355 horsepower (10 less than in the M2) and 343 lb.-ft. of torque.

Cockpit with M logos on the steering wheel and stick shift. Also note the footrest on the left.

Good legroom for back-seat passengers, but it’s a whole other story for headroom because of the plunging roofline.

500 litres of cargo space with all the seats in place and 1,400 litres with the rear seatbacks lowered.

20-inch alloy rims fitted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

The classic BMW look livened up with sport features, such as air intakes and subtle design features painted in Ferric Gray, like the side mirrors.

Painted black chrome rear dual exhaust.

Postcard perfect: the sport SUV poses on the Monterey Peninsula’s Seventeen Mile Drive.

Short break in front of a ranch on Carmel Valley Road.

A much sportier look than a conventional X4.
