Tested: BMW's 2022 X4 M Competition is torque-rich and stiff:
Accompanying the X4 M's exterior changes is an interior that includes a revised dashboard fit with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display—2.0 inches larger than the prior unit—running BMW's latest iDrive infotainment setup and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a revamped user interface. Additionally, the cabin features new climate controls and an updated center console that houses the start/stop button and various drive mode-related controls.
Some active safety equipment, such as blind-spot monitors and a lane-departure warning system, is standard on the X4 M. However, adaptive cruise control and lane centering are optional, part of the $1700 Driving Assistance Professional package—an extra our $86,345 test vehicle did without. We feel these items ought to come standard on a vehicle this pricey.Yet, it's this performance-focused X4's harsh suspension setup that infuriated us most.
That said, we'd also settle for an X4 M that largely follows the template of the current SUV, but trades the unyielding suspension tuning for a more forgiving setup. Because if shaving milliseconds from your lap times is your top priority, then your interests are better served by the M3 and M4. Or, another idea: Go with the better-riding X3 M40i, then use its 4400-pound tow rating to pull a nice caged E30 to your favorite road courses.
