2021 BMW X4 Trims Comparison
2021 X4 trim level differences
The 2021 BMW X4 is available in two trim levels: xDrive30i and M40i. A high-performance variant — the X4 M — is reviewed separately. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic are standard on both trims.
Which 2021 X4 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The base xDrive30i is reasonably powerful, but we suggest stepping up the M40i. BMW's turbocharged inline-sixes are potent and buttery smooth. It's a better fit considering the X4's sharper styling.
