PRESS RELEASE

BMW Malaysia today introduced the First-Ever BMW X4 M Competition at the Secret Garage @ M Town, expanding the premium mid-size segment with M powered driving machines.

The First-Ever BMW X4 M Competition further expands the BMW X portfolio of powerful Sports Activity Coupes (SAC). It brings a whole new level of speed and performance to the segment with the new BMW M TwinPower Turbo engine that is capable of 510 hp.

In addition to power, the new high-powered SAC is also equipped with advanced driver assistance systems and intelligent in-car connectivity features. This includes the Driving Assistant Plus that offers optimal support during sporty driving.

Symbiosis of style and speed.

The First-Ever BMW X4 M Competition appears with the characteristically M design elements, complemented by the sporty aesthetics of the BMW X.

The powerful front section of the vehicle is made up of the distinctive front apron and large, hexagonal air intake – built to ensure optimal ventilation for the front brakes under high thermal loads. The new BMW M model also feature adaptive LED headlights with high-beam assistant, along with full-LED taillights as standard.

A long bonnet and wheelbase, steeply-raked windscreen, and slightly rectangular wheel arches lend the new models an exceptionally sporty silhouette. The M Sport exhaust system – recognisable by its four black chrome tailpipes – adds an unmistakeable sound when going full throttle and at high revs. The new BMW M model also run on 21-inch bicolour M light alloy wheels and are equipped with Adaptive M suspension. Black
kidney grille surrounds, side gills and wing mirror caps are also standard to the models.

The First-Ever BMW X4 M Competition features a slim diffuser in high-gloss Black and an M-specific roof spoiler.

The power of M meets the agility of the BMW X.

Powering the new BMW M models to a powerful 375kW / 510hp is the newly-developed three-litre M TwinPower Turbo straight-six petrol engine. With a peak torque of 600Nm at 2,600 – 5,950 rpm, the new BMW M models generate a top speed of 250km/h (limited) and are capable of achieving the century sprint in merely 4.1 seconds. The new BMW M models consume 10.6 litres of fuel per 100km of travel and records a carbon emission of 244g/km.

Power is transmitted to the new high-powered BMW M models via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic – capable of performing automatic or manual gear changes via the gear selector lever or the shift paddles on the steering wheel.

Three Drivelogic modes are available: Efficient, Sport, and Sport Plus – for extremely short shift times. The chassis of the new BMW M models have been upgraded with a high proportion of M-specific components for even sportier driving characteristics – improving not just performance but handling and lateral dynamics as well.

The strut brace in the engine compartment increases stiffness of the front section when subjected to strong lateral acceleration. This is complemented by adaptive dampers, stiffer stabilisers, along with the Active M Differential and M Compound Brakes that are made of composite materials to reduce weight and achieve even more powerful deceleration. The M xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive also allows for conventional variable power distribution, or a Sport mode with even more pronounced and dynamic
rear-wheel bias.

Designed for comfort – be it on the road or the tracks.

The cockpit of the First-Ever BMW X4 M Competition welcomes passengers with an iconic M interior ambience that is equally sporty and elegant. Front passengers are greeted with entry sills bearing the M model designation and comfortable front seats with active seat ventilation and lumbar support. Special trim levels also reflect their superior performance, along with the M leather steering wheel with shift paddles, red M Drive buttons, and a red Start/Stop button.

These are complemented by the redesigned M gear selector lever and the three-level controls for the engine, damper and steering responses. Further M-specific highlights found in the new BMW M models include interior trim finishers ‘Carbon Fibre’, decorative seams in BMW M colours, M seatbelts, M pedals, along with a M-specific instrument cluster, and knee pads.

Comfort is offered to the new BMW M models via sculptural M Sport seats with illuminated M badge below the semi-integrated head restraint, furnished with premium Leather Merino upholstery. In terms of luggage capacity, the First-Ever BMW X4 M Competition has a boot space of 525 litres that can be increased to 1,430 litres.
