So much hate on every XM threads. Every time a proud owner posted their XM photos here, all the negative comments followed. Most of the haters here had never seen a XM live let alone driven one because not many dealers out there will just let anyone test drive a XM. That’s why my local dealer parked their XM deep inside their showroom so that not just anyone can request a test drive.

Question..
Are we really smarter than BMW who has been making cars for more than 80 years? It just seems like in this forum at least everyone knows more than BMW.

Negative comments are welcome. LOL.
If an XM post makes it to the main page, it will attract a lot of negative comments. Please reference every iX post that did the same. The XM is an even more polarizing vehicle than the iX, and owners should just expect there to be negative comments, ignoring them is usually the best thing to do. As far as not liking it, and buying something else, for the first time in years I have no BMW in my garage, my iX M60 was only kept for 2 months, and after numerous issues, including Tesla like phantom braking, it was traded in. I took a huge hit in the pocket book (MSRP of $119,620 US and recived trade of $93,000) but my Taycan has been flawless.
