# 2019-2025 BMW X4 M Competition The BMW X4 M Competition is a high-performance coupe-SUV that marries practicality with serious speed. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six producing 503 horsepower, it rockets to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds—remarkably quick for a 4,400-pound vehicle. Reviewers praise its explosive acceleration and track-worthy dynamics, though many criticize its polarizing "hunchback" styling and firm ride quality. The X4 M is famous for being BMW's answer to customers wanting M-car performance without sedan practicality constraints. It's ideally suited for enthusiasts who need daily-driver versatility—reasonable cargo space, all-wheel-drive capability, and usable rear seats—while refusing to compromise on performance. However, the stiff suspension and premium pricing make it less appealing for comfort-focused buyers or those prioritizing value. Best for spirited weekend drives with weekday practicality.
The X4 M Competition requires premium fuel and expensive maintenance through BMW's required service program. High-performance tires wear quickly and cost $1,500+ per set. Carbon-ceramic brakes (if equipped) can exceed $10,000 to replace. Insurance rates are significantly above average due to high performance and repair costs. Generally reliable but repairs are expensive.
