BMW X3 M and X4 M sound good and gnarly in teaser clip

After unveiling the

X3

in 2017 and its coupe sibling the

X4

in early 2018,

BMW

is ready to bring its small

crossovers

into the performance space. We already have a good idea

what the two will look like

, especially the

X3 M

, and now we know they’ll provide a good exhaust soundtrack, as well, thanks to a new teaser video.

Posted to BMW’s Facebook, the brief 36-second video is a lesson in quick-cut cinematography. It mixes up-close detail shots of the the camouflaged crossovers with clips of the two cars during on- and off-road testing. The

X4

M is even seen ripping up the side of a rocky hillside.

Most important, the video includes an aural teaser, previewing the performance exhaust. During takeoffs and drive-bys the exhaust sounds like it has some grunt, showing off a low, growly, poppy tune we’d expect from

BMW’s M

division.

BMW has yet to release many details about power, but we expect the

X3

M to be quite a beast. We believe it will be available in regular and

Competition

-spec models with more than 400 horsepower. The X4 M will likely offer something similar. Check out the video and look for a full reveal in a few months.
