The Volvo B8RLE/MCV Evora is probably the best bet to go onto the likes of the X4 in my opinion. The engine in it has been used in coaches and intercity buses across Europe, and is proving itself in the B8RLE across the UK now too. It's far ahead of the E200 MMC in terms of capability, and I believe due to the low price of the MCV bodywork it's very similar in cost (possibly cheaper, can't quite remember).

Are they still produced?
I know First have had some serious issues with sourcing parts for theirs, can't quite remember the specifics but I'm sure they had to keep getting one of the rear axles reconditioned because of them constantly failing.
