Tint the windows dark. Would be embarrassing to be seen in this thing.

Then they called it an "M"? What does M have to do with this "thing"? I thought M stood for motorsport? lol

It is quite the vehicle!! Took it for a quick test drive but break in service still has not been completed.

Hid-e-ous…. While cars are inherently depreciating assets, this one may set new records.

No thank you!

[J-RO]

For that kind of money you would think they could have done a better job with the wheels.

[R N M]

I saw one today and can’t believe this is an M car - really sad how the brand has fallen.

Wrong. The base car sells for 2.3M RMB, which translates to ~334k USD before ~41k RMB luxury and vehicle taxes.

At this point almost all the buyers would go for higher end brands like Porsche/Aston/Ferrari/Maybach/Bentley you-name-it. Die hard bimmers would go for M5 at the very most

This car is exquisite to say the least. I would’ve held out for one if they were just a tad faster. Luxurious, beautiful, and appears to be ahead of its time in the looks department. Of course this is just my opinion

Congratulations and decent spec! I personally would have added the gold trim but that’s just me. Btw is that chrome trim on the steering wheel?

Definitely the spec I’d choose!

[Mingwan]

The front and back of the XM look ok. The side, not so much. It reminds me of an Atlas, which for me is one of the ugliest piece of shit SUV’s on the market.



Remove the side trim - it looks terrible.

Should’ve attempted going with frameless doors.

[DrKevM5]

This thing is horrific. Will be placed in the annals of horrible automotive styling next to the Pontiac Aztec. And unfortunately joining his baby brother, the G87 M2.

Why yes, it is actually chrome trim around the steering wheel. Which shows every smudge and mark lol.

Here is a quick acceleration in it, prior to break in. So it is limited to 4k

Here’s one at Irvine BMW. I was ordering some parts and the dealer and didn’t expect an XM there but it’s there. It looks much better in black

Wish I took more pictures

[xmanpro]

The black one looks good. Maybe black with gold. Dunno if I’ll get this or another x6m once lease is up.

Regardless of my opinion on the looks. I would have rejected delivery of this because of the ridiculous dealer badge on the back.

Break-in service is at 1200 miles.

… if I were the dealer, definitely putting my badge on that thing - so hideous you’d definitely garner some eyeballs 👀

I wish them the best, but it’s definitely not what I expected from BMW M

Maybe they can tweak it enough for the LCI to make a difference

Give me a matte flat black motif ......... buy hey that is just me. I would love carbon if the OEM's would tone down the gloss with satin. The list goes on and on.

The design element(s) are leaning towards LEGO. LEGO is a Danish company. Research is in order. Automobile designers create an art form. It did not exactly end up well for Bangle, but what we have now is somewhat louder than what Bangle created with the same amount of ewwwwwwwwwww.........ahhhhhhhhhh. Some like it and some don't. It's a gamble for the OEM's.

And Gold will go out hard like Disco music

Super trendy., and very short lived

My local dealer in TX just got one and customer walked so it’s available if anyone’s interested.
