一个多月前，有人拍到了毫无伪装的2019款宝马X4，最近谍照记者又在德国排到了其M版车型。这辆车采用了更具侵略性前脸，更好，更大的进气口，它可以为中冷输送更多冷空气。作为一款M版车型，该车最显著特征是车尾的四个椭圆形排气尾管。如果仔细看，还会发现掀背尾门上的扰流器。从车身侧面看，可以很清楚的看到前后轮硕大刹车盘，而且该车的离地间隙也明显小于其他X4车型。不过，这辆车的轮圈让人感到有点困惑。在此之前所有的X4车型都没有出现过这样的轮圈，因此X4M高性能版很可能会提供不同的轮圈选择。至于动力系统，宝马内部人士透露，X4M将搭载宝马新的S58引擎，这是一台3.0升直列六缸双涡轮引擎，不仅搭载在X4M上，而且也将提供给X3M，其功率至少450马力。目前还不清楚宝马将在何时发布X4M，但不会等太久了。下一代X4将于明年上半年在宝马南卡州斯帕滕伯格工厂投产。
2019 BMW X4 M Spied Testing In Germany
A little over a month ago we basically got full disclosure on the revamped 2019 BMW X4, at least from a visual perspective thanks to a car carrier hauling a group of them without any camo. Missing from that family portrait, however, was the high-performance M edition. Our spy photographers couldn’t nab one without some coverings, but we still get a pretty good taste of what’s to come for BMW’s sportier crossover.
 
We can definitely see what appears to be a more aggressive front fascia, with nice big air intakes for the intercoolers which are also visible. The biggest clue to the beast within, however, is at the rear where big oval-shaped quad exhaust tips announce the X4’s presence. Look a bit further up, and a keen eye will also spot lip spoilers on the rear hatch.
 
 Looking from the side, we can easily see massive disc brakes both front and rear, and the X4 M sure looks like it sits a bit lower compared to the other X4 spy photos we’ve seen. This crossover also seems to be a bit confused as to what wheels it should have. We haven’t seen either style on X4 models before, so it’s likely we’re looking a couple different wheel options for the high-performance M.
 
 As for that performance, insiders say the X4 M will get BMW’s new S58 engine, which should be a 3.0-liter inline-six that’s force-fed with a pair of turbochargers. The mill is said to power the X4 as well as the X3 M, and it should make at least 450 horsepower.
 
We’re not exactly sure when BMW will make an official reveal, but it shouldn’t be too far away. Production for the next X4 is slated to begin at the automaker’s Spartanburg, South Carolina plant the first half of next year.
