Starting with the exterior. The São Paulo Yellow paint finish is eye-catching and perfectly complements the sharp, aggressive lines of the X4 M. At the front of the car, the signature BMW kidney grille flanked by sharp LED headlights stands out. At the rear of the car, a sleek spoiler and four exhaust vents further emphasise the car's sporting pedigree.
