The highly anticipated BMW X4 M40i, which will serve as the performance variant in the X4 line-up.

It makes use of a 3,0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder that develops 270kW. That’s enough power to get it to 100km/h in less than five seconds. The top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h.

The X4 M40i also features a unique front bumper with larger air intakes, a rear diffuser and 20-inch alloy wheels.

To make it sound angrier, this X4 comes with a sports exhaust. It should be able to tackle the twisties as well, thanks to a sports suspension and a tweaked all-wheel drive system.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
