Yeah, this is the thing that I still think looks weird. But overall I think it’s good looking. I saw an older X1 (I think) with the two side logos, it seems like this isn’t exactly new for BMW. Personally not a fan.

I can see this futuristic design trend catching on after it sinks in a bit.

Or maybe it won’t age well and it will always look bad.

Only time will tell…

Honestly it looks like a Chevy to me.

Front end = scary clown face 😂

It looks like the hood is open. Awful sketch. And the sketch made it production. What a joke.
Horrible looking cart...

seen this exact set up at a meeting a few days ago. its pretty slick in person. I was digging it

[MUFCbmwbear]

Looks miles better than the iX and looks much better without the silly Rose gold trim accents

[Merciless58]

Is it bigger than the x7? Looks like it

[WedgeSalad]

Honestly I like how it looks and I think its pretty cool. But I for the life of me cant understand why BMW keeps showing the car with those ugly wheels, the 922M wheels make the XM look so much better. I agree the XM emblem looks odd, but the car looks killer in black sapphire metallic with 922M wheels.

It’s … something. I sure hope the X7/5 don’t inherit this design language in the future.

[02M3ForMe]

Looks excellent in white.

It's a powerful ultra-premium PHEV SUV. They'll sell very well.

Does it bother anyone else that the badge on the back just doesn't look like it belongs, where it's placed?

[Phuk IT]

hey BMW (headquarters not the assistant):

just because you can sell it doesn't mean you should make it

next level isn't always complimentary

when you start thinking that it looks less hideous in darker colors... well...

I do have a genuine question though: how is that you can't make a generation that performs amazingly and looks good while doing it. Go all out and phuk up your entire line up including 3/X3 5/X5, do it you've got what it takes.

Yes.

From the front or side perspective, it's the best looking car for me But the rear of the car destroy it..
I think I would remove the M batch and put a BMW logo/sticker on the tailgate by myself.

Almost the exact same size as the X7. Same wheelbase, but other dimensions compared to a X7 M60i are a bit different.

Length / Width / Height for the M60i are 203.6 / 78.7 / 72.2 and for the XM are at 201.2 / 78.9 / 69.1

This is the BMW Pontiac Aztek

When i first saw the pictures and videos of the XM i also thought it was absolutely hideous. Actually this was also what i thought about the M3 and M2 and IX models. Now i have been owning a M3 for nearly 2 years and i love the car. And i have a IX M60 on order....

And believe it or not : i am starting to like the XM. It has taken some time. More time than with the M3. But the car is also not yet available. By the time it is available i am sure i have grown to it and maybe one day i will actually buy one.

I also saw a new 7 series 2 weeks ago on the road. Very impressive car. Not beautiful but certainly impressive.

I don't know what it is with BMW's designs : they certainly have a way of designing cars for the future. Not liked when introduced but growing on people until they start liking it.

The XM is a piece of art maybe......

[alexlucky]

Totally agree with you ^

I think we can say that about any car and any brand. I remember many years ago I loved Opel Astra H and when Opel Astra J was shown I thought "it's awful, Opel messed up". Some time passed and my opinion changed, I started to like the new version more than the previous one.

I’ve always subscribed to the theory that great automotive design immediately makes the predecessor seem dated and old. I haven’t seen that happen a lot at BMW lately.
