Under the hood, both xDrive35i and the M40i would be powered by 3.0-litre turbo six-cylinder engine. The new X4 M40i would deliver a maximum power of 360 PS at 5800-6000 rpm and a peak torque of 465 Nm at 1350-5250 rpm which is an increase of 54 PS and 65 Nm over the xDrive35i. This extra power and torque help the X4 M40i to complete a 0-100 kmph sprint in just 4.9 seconds, making it 0.6 seconds quicker than the 35i, while the top speed is clocked at 250 kmph. In spite of these performance gains, it delivers a fuel efficiency of 8.6 litres per 100 km. Further, it would be mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission which will distribute power to all four wheels.

It's hard to find any difference between the X4 M40i and any X4 with an M Sport styling package, but the only differences include bespoke 19-inch alloy wheels, as well as satin grey trims on the front bumper and mirror caps. At the rear end, single exhaust pipes can be found on either side of the rear bumper. Moving towards the interior, the only unique piece appears to be the M40i exclusive sports steering wheel which is borrowed from the 3-Series M Sport package along with the door sills that have model's name engraved on it. Apart from this, the rest of the interior gets the same upgrades as any other M Sport equipped X4.
