2023 BMW XM leaked
As big and brash as the concept that preceded it, the plug-in hybrid SUV sets sail later this year.
It's happening

Wow. Just wow.
I’d rather have a Pontiac Aztek.

Okay, now I’ll call you “cray”.
Better looking than an M2.
Hmm, it looks better than the concept. That’s probably a first.

This may be one of the most atrocious-looking concept vehicles of all time. Makes me wish even more BMW would go back to the 1990s or maybe early 2000s in styling their vehicles. I don't care if you stuffed a naturally-aspirated V12 in this thing; I'd avoid this like the Plague. Yeesh!

The grille may be a tiny bit less ostentatious than the concept but it doesn't detract from the pig ugliness of the rest of it

I guess after that leak, they decided to officially reveal it.
Looks...a tiny bit better in all black. But still...
Starting price of $160k.... Rather doubtful anyone where I live will try to buy one.

I don't understand what it is or why it exists. Is this like a last hurrah for the performance SUV, as if that's something we needed? The X5M exists, I don't see a reason for this to exist. It's like BMW was channeling its inner Dodge, just making a really aggressive chav mobile for no reason. Any time you see anybody driving this you just know they're a total choch.
Seriously uncool.

The fact that this purely M-developed car weighs 2.75 tonnes is more concerning for the brand in my mind.
Just to put that in context, the newly anounced Bentayga EWB (long wheelbase) weighs 240kgs less and even the Rolls Cullinan is 110kgs lighter and both are 8-9 inches longer than the XM.

Bit of a random thought, but back in September during the time of the XM reveal. BMW Middle East had an ad featuring an Odyssey 21 Extreme E rebodied with a BMW looking body on it. Honestly feel like it was a missed opportunity to give the marketing team a way of relating the XM to current motorsports. If you said that this "Dune Taxi" was a XM race version, I'd at least appreciate the XM a little more, even if the actual race truck had nothing to do with the road car.
Meanwhile, in actuality, seeing the XM ads running in our BMW showroom is some epileptic seizure inducing flashes of fashion and nonsensical crap with no relation to BMW Motorsport. I'm no expert in the industry, but making something motorsports of the XM name or design would make it slightly more appealing...in a way. But apparently this was just a one off for a marketing stunt.
