BMW's 2025 X2 M35i: The 4-Cylinder 'M Car' That Shocked Me | Full Review

Is the 2025 BMW X2 M35i worth $60,000? In this in-depth review, I put BMW's compact performance crossover through its paces to discover if this 312hp "Sports Activity Coupe" delivers genuine M-car thrills or just another expensive badge exercise. With its turbocharged inline-4 producing supercar-level power density, quad exhausts, and aggressive styling, the X2 M35i promises to be the enthusiast's choice in the luxury compact crossover segment—but does it deliver?
