NEW BMW X4 HOMOLOGATIONS FOR PIRELLI TIRES

Milan, 2018 September 17th - The robustness of an BMW X-model, combined with the power of a sports car and the aesthetics of a coupé: this is the second generation BMW X4 that premiered at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

The BMW X4 has a sporty silhouette, with dynamic side lines, a coupé-like roof and wide, flat rear; plus LED combination rearlights. The powerful front with the LED headlights, wide wheelbase and sturdy wheel arches emphasize the vehicle's X genes.

The high-seat coupé is available in the following model variants:

·           BMW X4 xDrive20i (184 HP*), rims from 18 to 21 inches,

·           BMW X4 xDrive 30i (252 hp*), rims from 18 to 21 inches,

·           BMW X4 M40i (354 HP*), rims from 20 to 21 inches,

·           BMW X4 xDrive20d (190 hp*), rims from 18 to 21 inches,

·           BMW X4 xDrive25d (231 hp*), rims from 18 to 21 inches,

·           BMW X4 xDrive30d (265 hp*), rims from 18 to 21 inches,

·           BMW X4 M40d (326 HP*), rims from 20 to 21 inches.

At the top of the range are two BMW M Performance models: the straight six-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW M40i generates a maximum output of 354 hp. The BMW M40d is powered by a 326 hp straight six-cylinder diesel engine. Another inline six-cylinder diesel engine mobilizes 265 hp in the 30d.
