2023 BMW XM Officially Revealed As The Ultimate M SUV With 735 HP

BMW took everyone by surprise in November 2021 with the reveal of its aggressively angular Concept XM. Get ready to meet the subsequent production version with largely the same polarizing design, including the love/hate split headlights we've recently seen on the new 7 Series and X7 facelift. The edgy SUV available exclusively with a plug-in hybrid powertrain is the first standalone M product since the original M1 was discontinued in 1981.

Everything is big about the M division's partially electrified mastodont, including the 23-inch wheels with 275/35 R23 front and 315/30 R23 rear tires as standard equipment. Alternatively, you can optionally go down one size.

It does have two roundels at the back as a throwback to the M1 but this is pretty much where the similarities end. As with all fully fledged M cars, the XM has a quad exhaust system, only this time with stacked tips to make the sporty luxobarge stand out. Impressively wide taillights complement the muscular body and flank a prominent XM badge with a gold contour to echo other exterior details.

The first M product with a PHEV setup features a charging port on the left-front fender, which will be the same story as the next-generation M5. Under the hood, BMW has installed its new S68 engine, a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with mild-hybrid tech. On its own, the combustion engine is good for 483 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 650 Newton-meters of torque from just 1,600 rpm.

Integrated into the eight-speed automatic transmission is the electric motor, rated at 194 hp and 280 Nm. With the power of the two combined, the XM offers 644 hp and 800 Nm. The electrified punch enables a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 4.3s). The ultimate M SUV is electronically capped at 250 km/h from the factory, but add the M Driver’s Package and BMW will loosen up the limiter to 270 km/h.

The e-motor draws its juice from a lithium-ion battery pack with a usable capacity of 25.7 kWh. The XM will hit 140 km/h in electric mode, and BMW estimates a full charge will last for 48 kilometers based on EPA’s testing procedures. Over in Europe, the super SUV named after a 1990s Citroën model has a WLTP rating of 82 to 88 kilometers.

I thought XM is trade mark by Citroën, how can BMW have the name under their belt? 🤔

[1fast1]

This is gonna be absolutely baller.

I'm against supercar marques selling out with SUVs. But it's perfect for BMW. 

[Lethalstrike]

Wait I'm confused. 

So this is both a mild hybrid and a plug-in hybrid? It says the S68 engine has mild hybrid tech, and the e motor is powered by 25.7 kWh battery which has to be charged by plugging in. 

Anyway, congrats for staying true to the concept. Ugly or not 🤣

mild hybrid could be typo.

PHEV can be charged like prius or plugging in.

It is SUV version of SF90

Yes, that's my guess as well that its a typo. 

How a mild hybrid works is quite different from a PHEV. Mild hybrids cannot drive on pure electric mode alone.

I am wondering how stable can these beasts on stilts be with so many horses?

Madness pricing! 

[Watwheels]

Looks like a slited-eyes porky pig with enlarge nostrils.

BMWs now no longer have the so called "kidney grills" but enlarged porky nostrils.

Why would anyone spend a million singdollar on this?

A Maserati MC20 is more sexy looking, used unit cost under a million.

The title is misleading.

I believe there was BMW 760 sold here.  It should easily exceed $1m

Dunno what or how BMW designers think  To me, the design is getting uglier.

“Seven figures is a lot for a car, there’s no doubt about that. That’s the situation we have in the Singapore car market and we’re perfectly okay with it,” said Lars Nielsen, the managing director of BMW Group Asia.

Not sure if he's being serious or he's being subtly sarcastic of the obscene COE situation 🤣

It just means rich getting richer. One million is nothing now.
