no carbon fiber roof?
as with the regular X3, the interior is the key, they really need to step it up for next gen, F25 was so cheap/dated, it was a generation behind itself (if that makes sense). |

Is this BMWs strategy introduce a M##i car, e.g. M235i, X4 M40i, etc. to gauge market interest before releasing the full M version? |

Wonder if it will be less than the X4 M40i?

It has to compete with the SQ5, so better be good!

There will be a full compliment of specific models from BMW M.
There will be the M40i,(Non-US) M40d, and I would not rule out an M40e like the upcoming 3er. Of course all headlined by the full blooded X3M.

I want full blown X3M/X4M and M40d..
SQ5 is not a waste of breath for BMW, SQ5 is only tuned and rides in the same crappy suspension as Q5 nothing special BMW is more worried about the more powerful cars for their next gen, my current X4 M40i runs lap around SQ5 in terms of handling & powa =D Yep this is what BMW is eye'ing

Eventually. But the B58 itself is still new and usually an S motor trails behind quite awhile. I would not be surprised to see the S55 used in the X3 M and X4 M. Next generation M3/M4 would be good candidates to debut an S58 assuming they stay with an I6 which I think is likely. Possibly the Z5/Z6 M too if they end up building those.
