2023 BMW XM Review // The Most Overpriced Car Of The Decade
Рет қаралды 1,461,096
Жыл бұрынThe 2023 BMW XM ($159,000 starting in the US, $245,580 starting in Canada) is the biggest, heaviest, and most powerful M car that BMW has ever put to market. It also comes with the largest starting price of any BMW in history. But with that price comes a hybrid-powered twin-turbo V8, which packs a mighty 644 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. It also boasts an undeniable road presence and has adaptive suspension as standard. But is it able to handle its over 6000 lb curb weight? And does it come with all the tech, luxuries, and design one might expect from a top-of-the-line flagship? Thomas and James investigate! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!

@TheMarkcu24 Жыл бұрын
It's so funny how you assume every good review the M2 got was based on fear because of one bad review. A vast majority gave good to great reviews, fairly saying it is great for what it is meant to be, and not necessarily a better version of the outgoing generation. One review was bad, just one. Perhaps, just perhaps, something was wrong with their opinion?
@Naah732 Жыл бұрын
@@TheMarkcu24 well Thomas is one of the most experienced in circuit racing so his opinion can be put as more valid one. There are also guys like Topher that haven't touched on it yet
@michaelfrick8928 Жыл бұрын
Thomas also owns a previous gen so I will take the most from his opinion. I get what you’re saying though, maybe that did come off a bit one sided. But perhaps, just perhaps these last two throttle house reviews are the only ones telling the whole truth? Perhaps, just perhaps they expect cars to make better improvements gen to gen? Can you honestly sit there and say the new m2 looks better? Or that hey greatly improved “the ultimate driving experience”? And for how much more? I have a feeling when the heated seat subscriptions make it to the states that won’t bother you either or half the people giving these reviews.

I 100% agree with you guys on this. I was given the XM for a weekend test drive, and here are my thoughts: - BIG (it was very difficult driving this thing around town. It made my X5 felt small. The front hood is huge and imposing) - front end looks a lot better in person - Slow: I was disappointed in the most powerful bmw made. - Transmission was awful. Sport+ was slow. It was violent especially on downshifts. I left the car in comfort setting in the M1 setting. - extroverted: people were pointing at me and slowing down to look at it. I think they were making fun of my poor financial decision lol😂 - Interior is nice, the rear seats are very comfortable. My kids thought the roof liner lighting design is the best feature of the car. Somehow I feel bmw launched this to make people feel good about buying the X5M Comp 😂

Their initial mission was to sell expensive cars to rich people. Then in the late 60s, to save their asses from bankruptcy, they revamped their lineup and marketed their cars as "driver's cars" to appeal to a new audience. They are simply going back to what they did in the 1920s.
