2023 BMW XM Pre-Prod Driver Review

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Since we don't have a dedicated forum for this new model and I would think that X5M/X6M clients are probably closely tied to their core audience, figured I would share this here. I stumbled across this recent write up. Admittedly as stated, the styling is polarizing and I'm interested if some of this new tech/powertrain would make it's way down to the X5M/X6M line up in the future.

No word on price though with Land Rover just announcing their new Range Rover Sport and the pretty hefty increase at the top end, I can only imagine what this will cost.

Admittedly, I've had a few X5M's and as someone that has some dealer connections and always leases them, I have to think my lease payment is likely to increase "at least" $500/month (pure speculation) if I look to upgrade in the future.

With 20 months left on my current lease, I am thinking at the 12 month mark, I am likely going to need to know what I want and order it as I don't see the days of walking into a dealer to pick up a $123,000 SUV equipped the way I want is reality.

looks more like a station wagon than an SUV...

Can't wait for the competition version to show up!! Gonna be fun to ride around in this and not pick up groceries or any of the other regular suv stuff.

Honestly I thought it'd be a bit different but in reality, besides the exterior, the interior looks like the X6M and the X7 put into a blender. But I still think it'll be a hit. can't wait to see the final product.
