And with that said, let’s find out more about this BMW of the future.
Whenever you hear of the BMW M series, you will immediately picture some of the sports sedans, such as the M3 and the M5. However, the performance division has decided to try out many new directions of late. This has led to the development of the new 2023 XM. This car combines many of these fresh elements into a single vehicle. After all, this is meant to be the M’s new flagship.
Apart from being an SUV that is available exclusively as an M, the XM will introduce a new plug-in hybrid powertrain that will be the first hybrid ever to wear the M badge. The concept XM was released by BMW last year, and it was said to be a crazy plug-in hybrid SUV that was a preview of the brand’s first M-only model since the 1978 M1 supercar. Now, the production of the 2023 BMW XM is finally here. If we were to look at the reactions to the concept XM, the reactions to most new BMWs, as well as high-performance luxury SUVs in general, we could predict that most of you are going to hate this one. However, if you keep an open mind and expand your horizons, you will see that the new XM is awesome.
Overall, the XM is about 2 inches shorter than the X7, which shares the same platform. Not only that, but the XM is also wider and lower, all thanks to the rakish roofline. The rear glass is more slanted than on the X7, but BMW does not refer to the XM as a coupe.
BMW has tried to stick to the concept of XM, and they have really managed it. Just like in the concept, a piece of trim wraps around the windows, and it continues along the beltline, which is mostly gloss black but available in NightGold. That lovely gold trim can also be added to the outline of the kidney grilles and some parts of the diffuser for those who prefer that.
When it is launched, there will be seven paint colors available at the time, but there will be more coming in the summer. At the end, more than 50 BMW individual colors will be available.The 2023 XM comes with 23-inch wheels wearing summer performance tires, and these will be standard across all trims. However, there will be 22s with aerodynamic inserts available, but these ones are optional. BMW will also offer a dual-color 23-inch wheel design, and it will have a center cap that features a 3D BMW script.
For those who love the current BMW interior design, this might be bad news. Sadly, the interior of the XM does away with the three vertical air vents and the grab handle that are on the center console. However, BMW has ensured that it sets itself apart from the X7 by having a unique dashboard design and some interesting details.
When it comes to the powertrain, the XM is expected to come with an updated version of BMW’s twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that we know and love. This engine on its own can give the car up to 483 horsepower. But the XM also has a 29.5 kWh battery pack, of which about 25.7 kWh can be used, and an electric motor with 194 horsepower built into the 8-speed automatic transmission.
This specific BMW will use a rear-biased xDrive all-wheel-drive system that provides fully controllable torque distribution from both the engine and electric motor to all four wheels. It also has an electronically controlled rear differential that ensures the most power is sent to the wheels with the least amount of understeering and loss of grip.
In the summer of 2023, the limited-edition XM Label Red will arrive, and it will boost its power to 735 horsepower and 735 pound-feet. In addition, it will also come with unique paint, wheels, trim, and interior upholstery. The Label Red will have a starting price that is slightly higher than $185,000. After this, BMW said it will be followed by other special Label models.
