Seems like the car lacks focus, and doesn't really know what it wants to be

XM = eXperiment for M.
Feels like the XM is just a textbook exercise for things to come for BMW M as they begin to move toward hybridization and electrification. Reviews read like BMW executed well on each aspect but failed to tie it all together as a singular vehicle. |

Not going to lie though, I am far more intrigued in the XM than the G Wagen and if I had to pick at gun point, I would pick the XM. I will probably get flamed for this but the G Wagen does absolutely nothing for me.

For the first time ever, this BMW fan boy, wants this car to fail epically. All the reviews are consistent. Tries to please too many constituents, backseat comfort sucks.

Reviews won't matter, I'm sure these will sell well. A lot of people just want a BMW SUV doesn't matter how it looks or drives.

Customers are cancelling G Wagen orders because of the tax which you never see for G Wagen’s. These will sell but will be a lot harder to move and will likely sit on dealership lots a lot longer than expected. |

A least in the US there's a Section 179 tax deduction which incentivizes such purchases.

With the new luxury tax law applicable across Canada, you would be paying the luxury tax amount PLUS any applicable sales tax - essentially taxes on top of taxes and the luxury tax is paid up front. For the XM with $20k in luxury tax, that would have to be paid upfront as due on delivery regardless if it’s lease or cash. Imagine leasing a vehicle and having to pay $20k upfront for a car you’re going to return in 3-4 years. |
