Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
More ground clearance than a regular wagon,
plenty of space for cargo,
nicely equipped with standard tech features.

Cons
Poky with base four-cylinder,
boring to drive,
engine drones during acceleration thanks to the continuously variable automatic transmission.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Spacious cabin and smooth, comfortable ride
Optional turbocharged engine provides plenty of power
Loading the roof or cargo area is easier than in most SUVs
Above-average off-road ability

Cons
Slow acceleration from standard engine
Clunky engine auto stop-start system

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Tremendously powerful six-cylinder engine
Grip and handling are excellent
Sleeker styling than the related X3 M

Cons
Excessively stiff ride
Rear headroom is a bit tight
Sloping roofline compromises cargo space and visibility

By:

Like the regular X4, the high-performance X4 M receives some subtle styling upgrades for 2022. Larger grille openings, narrower headlamps, and reworked front and rear bumpers distinguish the refreshed X4 M from last year's model. The infotainment display has grown from 10.3 to 12.3 inches. More meaningful to us driving enthusiasts is a rework of the SUV's engine to produce more torque; horsepower remains the same across both X4 M models.

Pros
Rip-snorting engine,
bonkers acceleration,
handling agile enough to trick you into thinking it's a sports car.

Cons
Hard-edged ride,
lacks the practicality of the mechanically-similar X3 M,
coupe-like styling may not be for everyone.
