The Prosche alternative is getting alot of looks, so BMW needs to step it up.
Now, a M performance diesel engine in the X4/3 makes completely sense imo.
The Porsche has VAG garbage engines to choose from, poor guys!
Absolutely right.

Given the huge popularity of diesel in the UK, I can't believe how long it is taking BMW to get this engine into some smaller vehicles. Between the speeds of 0 and 70 mph the diesel tri turbo won't have any problems keeping up with petrol performance models in a straight line, and let's be honest the majority of buyers are going to be road users only.

M Performance makes far more sense than an M full blown in terms of likely sales
