I like the X4M a lot more than regular versions, gives rear a much nicer look.

to those saying not aggressive enough, BMW never has been with their M SUVs, just not going to happen

I actually LOL'd. The X5M is so aggressive compared to the normal X5 that they almost look like two separate generations

I agree I hope the final product does a lot more to differentiate in an aggressive way from the baby Ms or else it's not gonna win a lot of ppl over. Btw I love the way my S55 sounds especially with cat-back AWE exhaust of course.

It's almost as if the performance improvements over the X40i mean nothing...

If they weigh 2 tonnes they're going to need at least 500hp, 450-460hp won't cut it at this price level.

I think it's time for BMW to flare those fenders man. The M3 really shows the stance and it's a looker and you will notice it's M car.
Doesn't have to be much on X3 or any other M car, make it look more aggressive

The LCI should be due a year after launch and I have a gut feeling they're going to update the grill to look a little more edgy/modern/bigger? like the other new models that have come out recently. I see no reason to buy this first year model with the LCI not far behind it.

I think the X4M looks better here but neither are very aggressive - fairly pedestrian.

yea...if it just looks like the m40i, not worth it to me, but the quad pipes and m mirrors do get me. still love the m40i, I won't be budging on another sav ever again. first and last. this is the perfect all around sav imo. nothing like not feeling any buyers remorse for the first time with a car. if I need more speed, a chip tune will do the trick. can't see me ever using all 355hp anyway. all eyes on the m2c cs/csl for me.

I have two kids and have had a couple of F30s and now a F36 - plenty of space - just prioritise what you pack and pack it wisely

I just realized they aren't flaring fenders because the rich housewives will scrap them when turning in parking garages. haha

It's NOT aggressive enough!!!

Besides the M engine capabilities, M xDrive and the M interior and trim... It's NOT aggressive enough!!!

The Exterior is well let's say completely WEAK for M model SAV/SACs!

NO Fender Flares, Skinny Tires. What's the deal BMW M Division, we expect and want M = MORE!

I do NOT like the Tech-y Rims. Would much prefer the modern classic M4s Competition and CS style Wheels.

By the way, where is the Carbon Fiber Roof?

2019 BMW X4 M / X3 M - TIRES Sizes

I was able to make out the Rear Tire Size on the X3 M / X4 M.

2019 BMW X4 M / X3 M - TIRES Sizes

TIRES
Brand: Michelin
Model: PILOT SPORT 4S
Front Size: 255/40 ZR 21
Rear Size: 265/40 ZR 21


Front Tire Width: 255 Millimeters = 10.0394" Inches
Rear Tire Width: 265 Millimeters = 10.4331" Inches

They NEED to be Wider!

I personally do NOT like the Techy Rims design. But at least they're Black.

Well maybe x4 will be interesting but that x3 is so not fit for an M car, it's not even funny. My opinion of course.

The second that engine cranks you'll forget everything about unaggressivity, plus The X3M badge is in the wrong corner unless in this one there putting it there
