BMW XM is fire in black *pics inside*

xmanpro · 03-09-2023, 09:20 PM

That non leveled badge is semi off putting - if I get one I’ll have to rebadge

hoyasaxa · 03-09-2023, 09:29 PM

6,063 pounds. No thanks.

Also, BMWs model/market segmentation continues apace. Want the top-of-the line XM? Well now you need the LABEL RED

Also way too much gold in the OP. But then, this car isn’t made for the Western market

beammeupscottie · 03-09-2023, 09:49 PM

I like these better; got them from this forum…
These wheels are great also!

Dgjo2022X5MC · 03-09-2023, 11:19 PM

The versioning is off putting. Spend the money on XM but it’s not a the halo RED version? No thanks.

outie · 03-09-2023, 11:36 PM

Not gonna lie, all recent BMWs are fire in black because the lines can disappear.

My sentiment is analogous.

Gold trim and rims are uglyyyyy

There's so many lines going on with the rear I can't figure out what's going on with it. Then add the tail lights that bulge out. Oiy...this one definitely requires an acquired taste.

jmxtrem · 03-10-2023, 03:02 AM

gold for market

It’s straight. Use a straight object like a sheet of paper and hold up to photo and line up with both taillights. M badge is straight. I think it’s an illusion.

I have felt this way for a bit now, the wheel packages have done nothing for this. What you have here looks amazing…

Can anyone Id these sweet black rims? Would love to swap mine for these if they can be identified…

T_N_C · 03-10-2023, 05:55 AM

Menacing looking vehicle.

J-RO · 03-10-2023, 06:21 AM

That would not see the inside of my garage.

Luminor513 · 03-10-2023, 06:50 AM

The gold accents just kill the entire look. I just can’t understand how anyone objectively thinks that looks good.

nick3753 · 03-10-2023, 07:29 AM

It should be set on fire.

Mckelvie37 · 03-10-2023, 07:45 AM

That’d be a no from me. Belongs in a video game.

Yeah, in these pics looks like a VW that got punched in the face

DS_BMW · 03-10-2023, 08:18 AM

160k for this thing ugh! 😑

Chihuahua · 03-10-2023, 08:26 AM

Of all the things BMW could have done with a standalone M car to celebrate 50 years, they did this. It's a real head scratcher.

Shadowline trim might make it look “better”??
