Yahoo Autos Watch a BMW X4 M Prototype Hustling at the Nurburgring
It seems BMW is on a roll testing the M versions of its high-riding utility vehicles. Last week, we saw both X3 M and X5 M mules testing on the Nurburgring ahead of their eventual reveal. Now, the remaining X-branded crossover, the X4 M, looks to have joined the party.
Nurburgring YouTuber Statesidesupercars spotted this partially camouflaged BMW X4 M testing at the limit on the Nordschleife during a recent industry test pool session. Why do we think it's a proper X4 M and not some mid-tier M Sport trim? Well, the most telling sign is the exhaust setup-four exits, two on each side, a signature feature of every modern M car. Also, it seems to be going pretty quickly. Here, watch the video and judge for yourself.

There's no official word on what sort of engine will power the X4 M, but like its X3 M sibling, we're guessing it'll be a version of the twin-turbo straight-six found in the current M2 Competition, M3, and M4-but that's just our own speculation.
