I have always loved the SUV lineup from BMW, each model bringing forward innovative technology, massive body styling and power underneath. But in the hands of aftermarket specialists, there rides are even more outstanding.

BMW X4 lineup is standing out from the crowd with the top of the line M40i, an impressive ride with impressive capabilities, but the SUV recently received the visit of German tuner Dahler, meaning that it has gained some significant extra power.

Dahler is well-known for its power kits all fitted on different BMW products. This lad here can be had with stage 2 power kit, with two power configurations, 395 horsepower and 414 horsepower, respectively.

But in case you can`t settle with this stage, then you can also opt for stage 3 power kit, which raises the SUV`s power to 424 horsepower, meaning a top speed of 270 km/h and a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.

All these modifications were possible thanks to the ECU remapping and stainless steel exhaust system. Besides the new power kits, the M40i has also received a new aero kit.

We are looking here at a new spoiler lip and rear apron with integrated tailpipes, 20- or 21-inch alloy wheels and the aforementioned stainless steel exhaust system. The new mechanical bits also refer to custom-built coil-over suspension, high-performance brakes, lowering springs which lower the car by up to 18mm, compression adjustable dampers and so on.

The pricing list will be announced later on. The result can be seen in the media gallery released by the technicians from Dahler tuner!
