2023 BMW X4 M: What's New, Specs & Features

About the 2023 BMW X4 M
2nd generation X4 M (2019-2024), second model year after the 2022 refresh.
BMW positions the X4 M as a high-performance compact SUV with a dramatic fastback roofline and serious M-car hardware underneath. In plain terms, it is the sharper, more style-driven alternative to the X3 M: higher seating and everyday usefulness, but tuned around speed, grip, and driver engagement. The X4 M’s main draw is that it delivers genuine BMW M pace and chassis response in a five-seat body that still works as a daily driver.
BMW positioned the 2023 X4 M as a driver-focused performance SUV with coupe-like styling and a 473-hp twin-turbo six. It pairs rear-biased AWD with an adaptive suspension and strong M brakes, while dual 12.3-inch displays, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Harman Kardon audio cover the cabin technology.
