Rumours that BMW could be developing a smaller BMW X4 model intended to represent a baby X6 are gaining momentum on BMW Blog with postings from a “BMW insider”. The rumour of the expanding X range to include a downsized X6 comes along with other models under consideration. The X4 would be an entirely new model with the same coupé-SUV design of the X6 and much of the platform and engine range of the BMW X3. This is an example of the X6 success and how BMW plans to make the most of it.

The rumours of developments to the X model line-up include other models reportedly being considered: X3 M and an X3 35iS. The latter would be a model sharing the same engine as the BMW Z4 35iS: a straight-six twin turbo with 335 hp and 500 Nm of torque. Rather than replacing a possible X3 M, it would appear alongside the performance variant which would use the same powerplant as the upcoming 1M.
