Two years on from the introduction of the facelifted G02 BMW X4, BMW Group Malaysia has added a new M Sport Pro variant of the xDrive30i. Taking over from the regular M Sport model, the “Pro” suffix denotes a higher level of standard kit for not much extra outlay.
Priced at RM399,800 on-the-road without insurance, the X4 xDrive30i M Sport Pro is only RM5,000 more expensive than its predecessor. That’s with the standard two-year, unlimited mileage warranty; add the five-year warranty and service package and this figure gets bumped up by RM26,700 to RM426,500.
Most of the changes are visual in nature, giving the X4 a meaner look. The adaptive LED headlights now get an all-black Shadowline look, paired with the extended Shadowline package that adorns the double kidney grille and rear BMW roundel surround in gloss black.
Further back, the twin tailpipe finishers are also finished in black chrome, while new 21-inch BMW Individual V-spoke style 726 multi-spoke wheels are an inch larger than the old style 699 rollers. These hide new red callipers for the unchanged M Sport brakes.
Meanwhile, a Qi wireless charger has been added, while the driver assistance kit has been bolstered with the addition of adaptive cruise control with stop and go. Unfortunately, you still only get the base Driving Assistant package (autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and rear collision warning), so there’s no lane-centring steering guidance to go with it.
Otherwise, the kit list is identical and includes keyless entry, push-button start, power-adjustable sports seats with driver’s side memory, “rhombicle” aluminium trim, a Sensatec faux leather-wrapped dashboard, triple-zone climate control, a panoramic glass sunroof, galvanised silver switchgear, adaptive dampers and a hands-free powered tailgate.
As for tech, you still get the BMW Live Cockpit Professional with 12.3-inch instrument and infotainment displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, park assist, reversing assist, a reverse camera and a 14-speaker, 464-watt Harman Kardon surround system.
No changes to the powertrain, either, so the X4 continues to be motivated by a B48 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 252 PS from 5,200 to 6,500 rpm and 350 Nm of torque between 1,450 and 4,800 rpm. Equipped with a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox and xDrive all-wheel drive, the coupé-style SUV gets from zero to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds before hitting a top speed of 240 km/h.
The M Sport Pro is available in Alpine White, Black Sapphire and the new M Brooklyn Grey; the old Phytonic Blue and Piemont Red hues have been nixed. Inside, you can spec the car with either Black or Tacora Red Vernasca leather upholstery.

ACC without lane centering? How does that even work?
Also does this have 360º camera finally, Jonathan?
There’s no mention of this in the press release and there’s no spec sheet, either. We will update this post when we get more information.
lane centering is annoying, you better off center yourself
if you could not drive properly, might as well retake your driving license or quit driving for the sake of everyone’s safety!
If there’s ACC, it’s under Driver Assistant Plus with lane center / lane keeping assist. With Driver Assistant Pro, it will include Auto lane change with 3D visualization of surrounding cars. BMW Malaysia could have made a mistake in the press release.
