BMW has released the first images and details of the new BMW X4 M40i.

The exterior modifications are not that easy to spot, but it includes a new front bumper and mirror caps for the side mirrors. The most noticeable change is the set of 19-inch alloy wheels and the twin exhaust pipers, which has always been an indicator of go-faster BMWs.

On the inside it has a new sports steering wheel with M40i lettering on it.

A 3,0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine with BMWs signature TwinPower turbocharging system will power this model. It pushes out a nice 265kW, which allows it to accelerate to 100km/h in less than five seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250km/h.

No release date for SA has been set.

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