2020 BMW X4 M Trims Comparison

2020 X4 M trim level differences

The 2020 BMW X4 M is a five-passenger high-performance variant of the X4 SUV. There are two versions: the regular X4 M and the X4 M Competition. Both use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine that powers all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. It develops 473 horsepower and 442 lb-ft of torque in the X4 M. The Competition bumps output to 503 hp, while torque remains the same.

X4 M
Standard feature highlights include:

  • Adaptive sport suspension
  • Power liftgate
  • Tri-zone automatic climate control
  • Leather upholstery
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation system
  • Harman Kardon premium audio system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay

The X4 M also comes with a number of advanced safety systems, such as:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot monitor (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind or in front of the vehicle when parking)

X4 M Competition
Distinguished from the standard X4 by its:

  • More powerful engine
  • Thicker suspension stabilizer bars
  • Sport exhaust system
  • Gloss black exterior trim
  • Sport seats

In typical BMW fashion, the X4 M is offered with a few packages and stand-alone options. These include:

  • Driving Assistance Plus package
    • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the X4 M and the car in front)
    • A more advanced version of the forward collision mitigation system
  • Executive package
    • Automated parallel and perpendicular parking system
    • Head-up display
    • Wireless charging pad
    • Heated front and rear seats
    • Heated steering wheel
    • Gesture control for phone and audio

Some of the above features are available as stand-alone options, along with ventilated front seats.

Which 2020 X4 M trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend sticking with the standard X4 M since you only gain 30 horsepower with the Competition package upgrade. Instead, we'd consider adding the Driving Assistance Plus package for the adaptive cruise control and the Executive package for the added niceties.
