I still can’t get over the fact that BMW made the XM a plug in hybrid. Really?! What were they thinking? If you’re dropping $160-$200k on a super performance car, you’re not thinking, “at lease I save a few bucks on gas”. We have an X5 45e we really like, but I still don’t see the market for a PHEV super performance car. If you want to the eco friendly performance SUV, you’ll buy an iX M60.

I just do not have feelings toward this car as a whole, in term of design language, performance and or even why it’s carrying the M label on its own?
I already saw two of them in real life. Hope that BMW will achieve something from this experiment.

Does anyone know the average MPG of this thing with the engine and batteries used simultaneously? I can’t find it anywhere. Seems like that should be a selling point if this is the future of bmw M…

I’ve only seen the XM in the internet and it’s beyond hideous. I came to see it in person at BMW Irvine with my son and I was wrong! Holy Chet! It’s fugly. My eyes can’t believe how BMW approved the exterior design of the XM. BMW is trying too hard to appeal to a customer that has never opened up an engine hood let alone change rotors or replaced a clutch. The XM interior was nice though. As for the engine, put it in the X5 or X7 and it will thrive.

So it's totally fine to use both technologies (combustion and electric engines) within 1 car. |

BMW M has decided to go v8 hybrid instead of I4 hybrid. Time will tell but the only good thing I can say about this is +4 cylinders |

Could have signed for a reg Label Red (in U91 close copy of the limited frozen black) for MSRP at $189k incl. Drivers package that opens it to 175Mph and the Bowers Wilkins upgrade. They first wanted 10k over sticker to start. |

I don’t think they will sell 500 special edition XM label red vehicles. They are having trouble selling regular ones still with over 500 on the dealer lots. Might as well just number every label red model they sell because my guess is it won’t be 500….

Not all XM Labels have the ugly red trim. By the way, due to a law lawsuit with Johnny Walker, they dropped the word red from the name altogether.

No clue. But it’s in reference to Johnny Walker Red Label. Even though the words are in the reverse order, I guess it’s trademarked. The funny thing is the word Red is still referenced in several places like my BMW Financial Services account.
