At that price level, it's an interesting modern take at the same performance of these cars. Becomes a subjective brand thing. Is Porsche still better at luxury sports suv than this thing? Classicist versus modernist?

Choices..

Imagine you only travel short stints of 10-15 miles during the day and have access to chargers at home, office and other buildings. Could be fun.

When you do this short kinds of stints, how can you motivate to acquire a vehicle of 180k? I do about 10 miles a day hence and forth, and I was already feeling irresponsable I ordered a new Golf R previous week. My wife suggested I better got a Ford Fiesta 1.0 for those commutes at half the price.

But this behemoth!? Really?

If the dealer offers you more than what you paid for when your ready to change like with a G wagon I guess, otherwise even my 70k Cad X3 30e was hard to justify when we have a mini cooper SE EV that cost 36k all included with gov subsidies.

The new G-Wagon may look the same, but under the skin it has huge changes. The first generation road car rode on the same platform for almost thirty years and was much more compromised. The latest generation has transformed it into a much more practical and drivable vehicle for the road while still keeping all its off road capabilities.

OK, the black one looks fucking dope

BMW's design department has made sure my current X5M will be my last BMW

Was the design exercise to put lipstick on a pig? same as the M3's grill looks like a beaver's teeth

just saying

Still doesn't look very "BMW" to me. It doesn't look as bad as I expected but I'd still rather get a different BMW product. The stacked exhausts look like a mistake. Overall, it doesnt scream sporty luxury in the way they touted it… It's just not in the same class as the Urus or even G-class design-wise. For better or worse, I can't see this making the same statement those make. Maybe it's best as a RS Q8 competitor?

I love how every surface seems to be covered in leather. The headliner also looks very high quality. Lastly, it still has an actual shifter; which is dope. The sculpted hood flows into the grille in a way i've never seen on such a big vehicle. 644 HP is likely to the wheels and I'm sure this truck will be a gaddam rocket.

Am I an idiot or does this make no sense

[buckybadger]

Wild Warthog!
I bet the exhaust sounds like Oink' Oink'…

Do you have an idea how many ppl said "this will be my last BMW" on this forum, it's probably the most repeated phrase of all bimmerpost, hilarious.

Put down the $5k and spoke with the Sales Manager at the dealership. Looking forward to the rest of the colors being announced! That black though...

If anyone is in the market for an XB7 with a full winter wheel set in the Spring, hot me up

Definitely would take the XM over the Cayenne. The turbo GT is an eyesore IMO.

wonder if the XM comes with CCB?

I also tend to believe that you can only really appreciate a car like this for it's capabilities when you travel some distances, regularly. My experience is when you only commute short stints, like you state, that any vehicle will do fine. It's only when you start to cover some distance that I really can appreciate the composure and sovereignity that such a massive vehicle can bring. Looking at the size of this monster, I would assume its domain of excellence is not in short commutes.

Yes, and people are still around and BMW sales of the so called ugly SUVs are way higher. Every new BMW car is always heavily criticized but who are those buying? Silent majority?

[hugo_nz]

Well at least now the heat will come off the IX for being the most controversial looking BMW!

The coffee brown leather though! That is nice

To each their own for the looks, but there is no doubting that the cayenne is a far better performer than the XM.

I agree, the weekend outing 300km affar where you end up in situations that encourage you to use/test the different facets of the vehicle will be the most rewarding, even more knowing you will go back to your regular duties, meetings etc. using no fuel with the "beast" at bay.

Agree with you on this one. The Porsche Cayenne turbo GT starts at $189k. Base Porsche cars are barely drivable. You need a lot of options which can push the gt price to the $220 - 230k range. At that price, it is still a Cayenne with $100K over Cayenne GTS. Not a wise purchase IMHO.

Well, since the beaver grill, my dealer has to work much harder and go much deeper to keep me on board. I just ordered my first none BMW since 24yrs a week back, and I feel perfectly happy with it.

The X3 was already a hard discussion, the upcomind i4 can be shuffed up his butt when he's not going all the way.

This is also related to the total lack of loyalty of BMW to its fanbase and their recent butt ugly designs. I'am with one foot already in the MB showroom. And like I feel it now, I will feel liberated when I leave BMW all together.

[supershaft]

lmao is this for real or did BMW just put out some parody videos?

also 160k?? LMAO who would choose this over say an Urus, G wagon, or Cayenne turbo?
