This is the test. It is very probably that the next X3 and X4 will receive full M models, as of now it is of unknown quantity.
The M Performance is laying the groundwork for the future. An actual X4 M was considered but because of the F26 life cycle it will be replaced by the G02 in 2018 which gives the first X4 just over 4 years on the market.
It was not deemed economically viable so the M Performance is the stop-gap and to test the potential and demand for a further performance model.
It could be a decision to regret with a full M model as the X4 is selling exceptionally well in its first few months on the global market.
It is proving popular as in the early days of the first X6.
