This is not the first time that we’ve caught a glimpse of BMW‘s new X4 crossover dressed in their M Sport Package in real life, but the pictured showroom model from BMW Abu Dhabi has a couple of tricks up its sleeve.

At the rear end of the X4 xDrive35i, you’ll notice the four- instead of the factory two-pipe setup, that comes courtesy of Kelleners Sport.

The car also rides on much bigger wheels, and in particular, 21-inch five-spoke rims wrapped in 245/35 tires at the front – we can’t make the size of the rear tires, which may be even wider if it’s sporting a staggered setup. From what we know, BMW offers up to 20-inch wheels through its official catalogue for the X4.

In the States, the X4 xDrive35i starts at $48,000 (excluding a $950 destination fee), with the M Sport package that has 19-inch wheels as standard and 20-inch optional, adding another $1,900.
