Honestly, they made the i8 which didn't sell as well as they'd thought. The XM will sell double what the i8 did, SUVs are the trend and money makers.

It's really a no brainer why they went this route instead of a halo car.

Repeat that thirty times. Maybe they'll get it. I have my doubts though.

Right, but if it had this drivetrain it certainly would have.

Go with all black everything — interior and BSM exterior, including wheels and trim — and it looks pretty good!

Maybe my standards have been lowered after seeing the M2 leaks…

Anyone put down an order yet? Ordering guide out yet ?

Downeaster1 · 09-28-2022, 09:38 AM

I don't like it at all...but I hate it significantly less than the G8X/New M2.

Am I the only person here underwhelmed by the power/performance? Mercedes is about to crank out 680 horsepower from a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder.

….and even still, the driving experience will be largely underwhelming.

P.S. On paper, Mercedes has almost always presented a larger horsepower number. Look back two decades and it was true then just as it is now. As it has been stated ad nauseiem, BMW tends to underrate their cars.

Deep down everyone is thinking the same thing…

Tallest · 09-28-2022, 11:32 AM

Porsche will be releasing a large SUV to combat this. I bet it will look great. Codename k1 I think, but in 2 years or so.

Wont cost also so much but ofc with options 200k is a given (Turbo - may be towards 300?). It should start at 911 price though.

So lets see, but to me this car is vulgar looking. Why does it have to look so bad... or so damn aggressive, all these super aggressive small penis car designs. I dont get it.

People drive them so they look intimidating and angry on the road, why is this nice. Where is the times when Aston Martin or Ferrari made good looking beautiful cars without all these winglets and splittlets and so on... but I digress.

I wouldn't be shocked if this in full spec 750hp version doesn't cross 200k

Wouldn't pay 200k for this. Give me an X5M all day.

Jury is out until we see it in the flesh and hear reviews of production cars.

MADEYE · 09-30-2022, 10:55 AM

Is it possible to start an intervention with BMW's design department. They are losing a hell of a lot of lifetime fans with every new design that comes out.

Who buys this crap?!

Have to take the press reviews with a grain of salt as they are heavily influenced by BMW. The press is treated to 5 star luxury travel, including hotel and meals, to sway their write ups.

Would you give up this luxury by writing an honest, negative review for all expense paid trips? Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
