The SUV is available in two metallic colours, Black Sapphire and Brooklyn Grey.

The BMW X4 M40i is powered by a 3.0-litre in-line 6-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces 360hp and 500Nm. The X4 also gets BMW’s xDrive which sends power to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. BMW claims that the X4 M40i can accelerate from 0-100kph in 4.9 seconds and it will hit a top speed of 250kph.
BMW X4 M40i rivals
The direct rival to the BMW X4 M40i is the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43, which is currently not on sale in India. Globally, the GLC 43 recently underwent a model update in September and it could come to India in the near future.
Interestingly, BMW also offers the X3 SUV in the M40i guise. At a price point of Rs 87.7 lakh, it is Rs 8.5 lakh cheaper than the X4 that is just launched and offers additional headroom and boot space.
