With the new 2016 BMW X4 M40i, the successful BMW X4 has gained a new top model. In the Sports Activity Coupe segment, the BMW X4 M40i is setting new standards with enhanced driving dynamics and best-in-segment acceleration.

The exterior makes it stand out as a clear member of the BMW M Performance family. Exclusive Ferric Gray metallic accents on the front of the vehicle and side mirrors, as well as the exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy double-spoke wheels with optional Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and the sport exhaust system with valve control and Black Chrome tailpipes on both sides emphasize the unique character of the new BMW X4 M40i.

A newly developed M Performance TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine celebrates its world premiere in the new BMW X4 M40i. This engine delivers 355 horsepower at between 5,800 and 6,000 rpm from its 3.0-liter displacement, providing a maximum torque of 343 lb-ft.

The specially tuned sports chassis provides excellent driving dynamics at an advanced level with stronger springs and stabilizers, increased camber on the front axle, and adaptive dampers specifically tuned to M Performance specifications.

The BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system has been recalibrated with more power routed to the rear wheels during normal operation. With Performance Control as standard, the system regulates the variable distribution of drive torque between the two rear wheels. These systems help to achieve a unique level of dynamics, agility and traction.

The 8-speed STEPTRONIC sports transmission, fitted as standard equipment in the new BMW X4 M40i, is responsible for the transmission of the energy supplied by the most powerful M Performance gasoline engine to date, making a significant contribution to the dynamics of this M Performance vehicle.
