2025 BMW X4

Is the 2025 BMW X4 a Good SUV?

"Unlike its X3 brethren, the X4 is not redesigned for 2025, but that's not really a problem. We already considered these near-twins to be among the very best compact luxury SUVs, and the X4 continues to be a top SUV coupe even without a redesign. The engineering and all-around package are that good."—Ranked #1 out of 4 Compact Luxury SUV Coupes

Which 2025 BMW X4 Should I Buy?

MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2025 BMW X4 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.

1. 2025 BMW X4 xDrive30i (2.0T All-Wheel Drive)

• Base Price: $55,300
• MPG Combined: 24
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 2.0-liter inline-4
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 248 
• Torque: 258 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 6.0 sec
• Weight: 4,178 lbs
• Length: 187.6 in
• Towing Capacity: N/A

The X4 xDrive30i shows its age for 2025, treading water while the X3 gets a full redesign. That means the entry-level X3 has the latest version of BMW's turbo four-cylinder engine, which is both stronger and much more fuel-efficient, while the X4 soldiers on with the previous version.

2. 2025 BMW X4 M40i (3.0T All-Wheel Drive)

• Base Price: $66,700
• MPG Combined: 23
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 3.0-liter inline-6
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 382 
• Torque: 369 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 4.4 sec
• Weight: 4,403 lbs
• Length: 187.6 in
• Towing Capacity: N/A

While the M40i remains the X4 to have, in our opinion, it's also showing its age for 2025. The B58 turbo inline-6 is still a work of art, but the X4 M40i's version of this engine is less impressive than the more powerful and far more fuel-efficient version found in the redesigned 2025 X3.

3. 2025 BMW X4 M

• Base Price: $79,100
• MPG Combined: 17
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 3.0-liter inline-6
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 473 
• Torque: 457 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 3.9 sec
• Weight: 4,597 lbs
• Length: 187.5 in
• Towing Capacity: N/A

2025 could be the end of the road for the X4 M, so if you've always had a thing for this high-riding hatchback with 500-ish horsepower, it's time to make your move. The formerly related X3 has already moved on with a full redesign for 2025 that does not include a true M model.

4. 2025 BMW X4 M Competition

• Base Price: $86,100
• MPG Combined: 17
• Drive Type: All-wheel drive
• Engine: 3.0-liter inline-6
• Aspiration: Turbocharged
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Horsepower: 503 
• Torque: 479 lb⁠-⁠ft
• 0-60: 3.7 sec
• Weight: 4,597 lbs
• Length: 187.5 in
• Towing Capacity: N/A

You might as well spring for the X4 Competition, right? What's another $7k at this price point? You get even more power, special 21-inch wheels and a set of nifty sport seats.
