Is 2020 BMW X4 M Competition worth $80,400? NO! 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe MSRP: From $75,300

In my honest opinion, I think 2020 Porsche Cayenne Coupe is a better bargain than the 2020 BMW X4 M Competition.

2020 BMW X4 M Competition’s casual disdain for Newton’s various laws of motion impresses me, but it this crossover’s acceleration figures that truly encapsulate its ludicrous capabilities. While its hunchbacked styling and squat stance are more hatchback than crossover, the range-topping X4 still is one of the quickest SUVs. Indeed, it’s also one of the quickest M cars.

A 3.3-second zero-to-60-mph time is impressive in anything, let alone a 4539-pound crossover that clearly has been styled to impress. In posting that time, the X4 M Competition falls but a tenth shy of the figures for both the Mercedes-AMG GLC63 S coupe and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, yet the BMW’s 8.0-second pull to 100 mph is quicker than both. While the Lamborghini Urus still posts the quickest straight-line test results of any SUV. The $81,395 X4 M Competition costs less than half its price.

This Bimmer’s motivation comes from a new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, codenamed S58, which also will find its way into the next-generation M3 and M4 models. It is the most powerful road-going six-cylinder engine that BMW has ever made and a 7200-rpm redline. While the S58 in the non-Competition X4 M employs 17.4 psi of boost to generate 473 horsepower, the Competition’s compressors huff 18.9 psi into the engine for a heady output of 503 horses. The huge output reaches the road through an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system that incorporates the same electronically-controlled torque-biasing rear differential that is fitted to the BMW M5 super sedan.

There also are separate buttons for adjusting the engine’s aggressiveness, the suspension’s stiffness, and the electrically assisted steering’s weight through three modes, plus another button for the stability control’s settings (on, Sport, and fully deactivated) and yet another for opening the flaps in the active exhaust system. What’s more, the X4 M’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system can be put into a more rear-biased AWD Sport mode but only with the stability control switched off. Small wonder there are two red M toggles on the steering wheel that can activate separate, driver-selected profiles for all of the available settings.

Grip levels are massive, the X4 M generating a sticky 0.97 g of lateral acceleration around the skidpad on its 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires; the GLC63 S managed 0.94 g, and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quad topped out at 0.95 g. On the road, the X4 M shows impressive agility considering its considerable mass. Yet, while it turns keenly and accurately noticed that the steering feels overly springy if you release the wheel with lock applied. Braking is handled by 15.6-inch rotors with four-piston calipers at the front and 14.6-inch rotors with single pistons at the rear, which are savagely effective, bringing the BMW to a stop from 70 mph in just 147 feet.

The regular X4, the M is one of those crossovers where design is more important than raw practicality. It is a lifestyle statement. The rear seat is cramped for adult occupants, who will suffer a shortage of both knee and headroom and also will have to endure the upright angle of the seatback. The mechanically identical BMW X3 M is considerably more spacious inside.

In addition to the Competition model’s increased power output, it also brings a standard sport exhaust system, larger anti-roll bars, and 21-inch wheels, plus the all-important Competition badge that sits beneath the X4 M emblem on the rear hatch. Whether all this justifies the $7000 premium that BMW charges for the Competition over the regular X4 M is a fair question, but for the car’s target market, such considerations are unlikely to matter too much. If you want the quickest SUV under $100K, this is the current champion.
