This a 5 seater? Thought it was a 4 seater.

I love the French language.

I've retained only enough high school French to learn that, apparently, they call them "SUV's" in other languages as well

Still looks rather strange to me. I honestly like the look of my wife's atlas cross sport more.
The black color certainly helps. I'm sure on the road it will have a rather commanding presence in anyone's rear view mirrors. |

Looks like a 4 seater? I didn't see the double seat belt latches in the center/passenger side.
No moonroof? No split tail gate.. now that I have it, I love it.. Looks like the same seats as the X5M? I wonder if the rear usb charging section can be transplanted. Would love to see an official ring time for this and the F95/96s..

Those rims!!👎👎
The back seat M lounge markets the XM to chauffeured driven car. I would expect massage seats for the rear.

"ULTIMATE POWER. ULTIMATE LUXURY. Are you one of the few who dare to go beyond? Meet the BMW XM a vehicle that transcends ordinary notions of adrenaline and aesthetics. You've never held such force in your hands. The BMW 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo engine is paired with a high-performance electric motor to put out a staggering 644 horsepower and 590 Ib.-ft. of torque. Be extravagant and expressive. Set your legacy in motion by being one of the first to transcend all others. Pre-order the BMW XM, and discover the edge of your world. Or contact a Client Advisor at bmwofXXX.com to learn more about the BMW XM." The marketing is just geared towards the "poser" crowd. When is the XM Kith edition announcement? Or the Kayne West Yeezy XM Launch Edition? I sense an other M8 coupe/vert debacle when XM's are sitting on the lot and there are incentives galore to move units.

So sad that M is associated with such rubbish as this truck thing.
I get that BMW are all about making money for shareholders & that means catering to the US & Chinese markets but unfortunately they have dragged the M division which still had some semblance of credibility remaining down into the marketing quagmire with them. It's bad enough M badges made their way on to "M lite" vehicles & SUV's but this thing is just horrendous.

"It looks like a discotheque"
THIS is exactly how I describe the XM.

Amazing that 50 years of building a reputable M brand is allowed to be thrown away in a single generation of bastardization & greed. I know it's not just BMW but it's still a sad reflection on the current decision makers that this is happening. Yes I agree it will only get worse which is why many knowledgeable enthusiasts are buying up whatever real performance cars they can get their hands on.

If you have every toured Plant Greer you will notice the quality signs everywhere as a reminder for the production associates. My two recent X5M's have had minor quality issues that my German built M4 verts have not.
