Is the BMW X4 M Competition a good car? 

The BMW X4 M Competition takes SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) ownership to the next level with its highly attractive styling and distinctive M package. Available in exclusive colours and decked out with gloss black M aero parts, the X4 M Competition is as distinctive as the people who choose to own them.

Who is the BMW X4 M Competition a good car for?

The BMW X4 M Competition is a good car for small families who only need a single-family car that is not only friendly but also satiates the performance needs of the main driver.

Is the BMW X4 M Competition a good first car?

 Although it is fitted with the latest safety systems and is actually rather easy to drive, the size and high output engine may deter new drivers.

Is the BMW X4 M Competition a good family car?

Despite the coupe styling and steep rear hatch, there is a surprising amount of space for family activity inside the X4 M. Rear occupants on the taller side may struggle somewhat with the head room but there is sufficient leg and shoulder room for 5 adults.

 

Is there a Hybrid BMW X4 M Competition?

With the X4 M Competition being a performance-oriented machine with is massive Twinpower turbo, in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine, there is no hybrid option.

What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

The flagship of the range has a bit more power available: 375 kW and 600 Nm of torque. It will race from 0 -100 km/h in only 4.1 seconds, on to a maximum speed of 285 km/h. It's decidedly thirstier too, guzzling an average of 10.6 litres per 100 km, but we're pretty sure that figure will be closer to 13. Its fuel range is 613 km and towing capacity 2500 kg or 750 kg (unbraked). Its four wheels are driven via an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission.

Interior

 

What is the BMW X4 M Competition like inside? 

The sporty theme continues inside with the interior trimmed in fine leather and edged with brushed aluminium and carbon fibre. Just because this is a sporty machine does not mean that BMW has skimped on the luxury, the X4 M is every bit a top-tier German luxury machine with a host of safety systems and luxury fitment to satiate even the most discerning of buyers.

 

Style

Naturally, a heavy focus has been given on the sports and performance side of things with the X4 M. Sports seats in quilted leather keep driver and passenger in place while carbon trim covers relevant touch surfaces. M touches come in the form of the red start stop button and programmable M quick buttons on the steering wheel.
