Overview
We get it. Sometimes the boxed SUV look just doesn't connect. Despite the cabin and cargo space advantages, a boxy SUV doesn't usually satisfy the sports-car itch for many drivers. The BMW X3 is an all-around favorite for its sporty practicality, but drivers who need more visual excitement can look to the X4 or its high-performance alternative, the 2023 BMW X4 M. The latter is the one to get if you want the sauce to back up the style. The X4's design may be polarizing, but it's more palatable when served with up to 500-plus horsepower.

With its turbocharged 473-horsepower six-cylinder engine and sport-tuned adaptive suspension, the X4 M is mechanically identical to the X3 M. It drives and handles the same as well: quick, agile and responsive, especially for a compact SUV. Where they differ, of course, is aft of the rear doors. The X4 M's raked rear end makes for a sleeker profile but comes at the expense of cargo space and rear visibility. Drivers seeking maximum performance can opt for the Competition model, which generates 503 hp and sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds.
After styling updates and a slight power increase last year, the X4 M carries into 2023 with no changes. That's a shame because BMW has started rolling out its newest infotainment system in some models. Along with software updates, the new system features a "floating" display that merges the digital instrument panel and the central touchscreen into a seamless curved screen up to about 27 inches wide. (The display is attached to struts affixed to the dash to achieve its floating look.) The X4, however, isn't among the models slated for the new system this year. That said, the current iDrive system, with its 10-inch touchscreen and secondary dial controls, remains an effective and capable technology interface.
Overall, the X4 M is a mixed bag. It's a fleet-footed small SUV with sports car style, which gives it some distinction on the road. But it rides rougher than the regular X4 and costs more than the X3 M or Mercedes-Benz AMG GLC 43, which both offer more maximum cargo space and rear passenger room. But for drivers who prefer a bit more style over sensibility, the X4 M's limitations are a fair trade.
2023 BMW X4 M trim level differences
The 2023 BMW X4 M comes in two trims: the standard X4 M and X4 M Competition. Both are powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. In the X4 M, it makes 473 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque, while the X4 M Competition gets a bump in both horsepower and torque (503 hp, 479 lb-ft). The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Compare the 2023 BMW X4 M trim levels in-depth.
Which X4 M trim does Edmunds recommend?
With its additional power, racing-style seats and upgraded leather, the X4 M Competition model is tempting. But its larger 21-inch wheels amplify an already stiff ride, so consider this only if you can compromise comfort for increased performance. Instead, we'd pick the standard X4 M with the Driving Assistance Professional package for its partial self-driving features, and we'd add ventilated seats and wireless device charging from the à la carte options list.

Unbelievable performance and style
5 out of 5 starsBrent Gibson, 06/22/2021
2021 BMW X4 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
Another Gen-Xer found his rhythm. I prefer to purchase vehicles that no one needs to ever buy. The X4M Comp falls in that category. We splurged for the Competition Package because well, it's even more aggressive and rare than the X4M "base."
In an event, this car will move you in terms of acceleration, handling, comfort, and sound. Even in Anodyne White, it's a head turner. What … surprised me was the level of practicality. I recently took the family on a short road trip and we comfortably fit three adults, one car seat, and a mid-sized child. We also were able to pack lightly but completely.
There are a lot of comments in the review-verse about a rough ride. I honestly don't find this to be the case. Granted I am comparing to an X2 M35i and a MINI, but still, when you soften the X4M up with all the comfort and quiet settings, it's nearly as comfy as our old X5. I prefer a stiffer car, but it's nearly sedan-like in full comfort settings. My day-to-day is Sport Plus in engine and steering, Sport in suspension, middle setting (Sport) for transmission and exhaust baffles open. I love the way that rides around town and on short trips. On longer cruises, I will go to comfort in all settings, quiet the exhaust, and put on the ACC. With these settings the car is soothing and you'll risk falling asleep.
Things to keep in mind: Winter tires (and perhaps rims) and a plan for storing and mounting them, non run-flat tires, getting used to the automatic parking and ACC functions, the 1000-way adjustable seats...too many choices, ground clearance if you are venturing off paved roads, insurance premium up-ticks, and locating a track for seriously pushing the car. You really can't enjoy it fully without a track of some kind.
Cheap yet powerful M car
5 out of 5 starsGluck Hunter, 07/29/2020
2020 BMW X4 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I can't believe the performance and interior styling this vehicle has. The vehicle looks better in person but is overall one of the best looking SUVs in its class. The seats are the real winner in the interior. Definitely sets it apart from all else. As stated in critic reviews, the suspension is stiff and I have had rear passengers comment on the stiffness. The luggage space is a little … nerfed due to design but still adequate. The rear visibility is almost like a sports car. But all of these things should be expected on this type of vehicle. My only real gripe is why does a turbo 6 cylinder get such poor highway gas mileage? Most turbo cars get relatively good mpg. I would have expected around 22-24 hwy mileage but this thing goes through gas like a hellcat. Overall, my favorite BMW I've owned or driven.
Love it

2021 BMW X4 M 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I feel like I’m on a space craft. This gen X er has found her car soul mate. I said goodbye to my 2012 and realized I had been lost in space with my beloved 528i. It’s back to college as I learn all the safety and fun upscale features. Amazing handling. Super fast and powerful engine. This is not a paid review.
Smooth Ride
