The new BMW X3 and X4 have been around for some time now but without the M40d versions. The M40ds top the diesel offerings of the X3 and X4 and join the M40i in leading the range as we eagerly await the arrival of the X3M and X4M models.

The X3 and X4 M40d are powered by BMW’s 3,0-litre turbodiesel engine with 240 kW of power and 680 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The M40d (X3/X4) goes from 0 to 100km/h in just 4,9 seconds. The top speed is an electronically governed 250 km/h. BMW claims a combined fuel consumption of 6.6 – 6.4l/100km. 

The diesel performance SUVs are priced from R1,034,964 (X3 M40d) and R1,140,264 (X4 M40d).
