Cons
Almost nonexistent rear seat

Unforgiving ride
Hard to enter and exit
Busy transmission

Underneath their fastback bodies, the X4 M and X4 M Competition are both packing serious muscle. These hot rods are coming to BMW dealerships this fall to take their place among the rest of the brand's performance SUVs, including the new X3 M, which arrives around the same time.

Pros
Balanced power delivery
Impressive grip and balance
Fun on tap in 4WD Sport setting
Transmission refinement

Cons

Only subtly different next to regular X4
Not as pointed as a full-fledged M4
