LEAKED! BMW's All-New X4 M40i Is The Brand's Latest M Performance Model — FIRST Pics + DETAILS!

For a bit of time it's been rumored that BMW's M Performance line would receive another model. It didn't take long for word to get around that BMW would bolster its M Performance lineup with another X vehicle.

Deciding to work with the X4, research and development vehicles were snapped here and there. But because the packaging wasn't entirely different than the X4 when equipped with the M Sport package, no one would confidently say that such an auto would come to fruition.

Turns out it did.

Yesterday, photographs as well as spec sheets for the all-new BMW X4 M40i leaked out. We found our chunk of information from Bimmer Today.

Equipped with a six-cylinder mill good for 355 horsepower and 343 lb.-ft. of torque, it clearly isn't anything to sneeze at. Zero to 62 mph is claimed to be 4.9 seconds and, yes, it is shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires — you can't ask for better if you want GRIP.

No word on what transmission will be swapping cogs here, but we think it's most likely an eight-speed auto.

No word if this will make it to The States, but if I were a betting man I'd say it likely is given its motor and sport-utility vehicle body.

Scope out ALL the leaked images, below!

Such a useless, dumb-looking car. Sides look like something Chevy would put out.

They would have been smarter to use the 4 Series Gran Coupe for another M Performance car.

Completely agree. It's one of BMWs best looking cars. Or even a full M version.

Yes, I do wish they did an M4 Gran Coupe. It would probably cannibalize M3 sales, though, so I can see the hesitation. The M3, M4, and M4GC would pretty much be priced right on top of one another unlike the current disparity between the 3 and 4 Series.

Proportions still look awkward

Hideous right down to the awful name.

With all that being said, BMW is still making a fortune off these vheicles and at the end of the day, that's all that matters...

What a dumping looking rear end. The front end is boring as it look exactly like every other BMW. Does BMW use rubber stamps to produce their cars?

Again , GLE Coupe have more space than the X6 so most likely the GLC Coupe will be more comfortable than this thing..but both are ugly...
