@@Driver20418 ive seen one in person, it’s about the same size as an X6, maybe a few inches longer. The X7 is the biggest BMW suv. Plus the XM’s sloping roof line and battery underneath means cargo capacity is about the same as an X6. The X7 has about 25 cubic feet of cargo capacity inside too, gives it enough room for a third row of seats unlike the XM.

It’s a status car. No more, no less. Just like a GLE 63 would be faster than a G63 - yet look at the price difference. Not sure why so many are shocked with this. Think of this as BMW’s equivalent to the G Wagon. It’ll make much more sense.

I totally get the XM although some don’t. It’s not just about performance, it’s about exclusivity for the wealthy. People keep comparing this to the X5M, when the X5 starts its life at 60k. That’s not what this buyer wants. BMW said it themselves, that the XM is for someone who’s in the market for a G Wagen.

If that's the goal, then it comes at the expense of decades of //M reputation for performance-above-all design - and the XM still doesn't go far enough. Where's the i7 rear theatre screen, or crystal trims? It just feels incomplete either as a performance or style product.

@warrenber 5 ай бұрын

People forget how hated the X6 was when it was first released, and look how successful it’s become. Most people struggle with something out the norm.i for one love how different it is. It’s testing the norm. I can tell you that the XM Label is another level and while that has an MSRP of $189k, it can be bought for $165k with discounts. That’s significantly cheaper than a G63 and it has a lot more performance.

@scotthilly5653 Жыл бұрын

One thing that’s super frustrating to me about all new BMW M’s (and even some M Perf models like the 2023 M340i) is that the upshifts are artificially enhanced. In the G80 M3, for example, it’s all fake upshift thumps that never come thru the exhaust. I can’t tell for sure but it seems this is the same way and like from the outside there’d be no exhaust farts. Miles, one thing that might be interesting and worth buying is a Carista dongle ($100) and you can use it to disable the fake noise in BMW’s - they’re the worst offenders. Might be interesting to hear the difference between it on and off, especially when you specifically mention it!

I really think some people would buy this since they might don't want a X5/X6M since it might be "toooo common for them" and not the X7 since it's more bigger and the XM it's like a "X8" which it's a sweet spot for those type of people.

Every automaker stares in amazement at the success of the Lamborghini Urus. BMW wants a piece of that "Designer SUV" high-end market and the X7 wasn't enough. The XM is a large-sized lifestyle vehicle that's too big and overstyled, looking to my eyes like an armored personnel carrier instead of a street focused fashon-able Urus competitor. The Urus fits nicely in the typical 15-car garage of the moneyed types BMW is after. The XM might work, but some details have a "Mad Max" vibe, like the handiwork of a temp-agency stylist.

@MilesPerHr Жыл бұрын

The more I've thought about this vehicle, the more I think it's suffering from either "not enough" or "too much." If you want it to be a dedicated M car, it should be more aggressive - shifting, handling, etc. If you want a style icon, give up the M badge and gussy up the interior even more with i7 tech, crystal trims, and at least a cohesively wild design (not this patchwork). The XM that we have here isn't "bad" - it just misses whichever mark BMW had set for it.

@eddstarr2185 Жыл бұрын

@@MilesPerHr You nailed it, Miles! BMW has mishandled the M branding. The XM looks like it was designed by the smorgasbord committee, too many elements that don't mesh well. Even if it sells well I feel the XM has hurt the M badge, turning it from total performance into a designer "lifestyle" brand for people who buy cars for image/ego use.
