[doggedlydetermined]

Can definitely see why rich people will buy this just to be different

[jakes]

I guess my biggest issue with this is that it costs $30k more than an X5m or X6m, but is no faster. Is the interior really worth that extra cost? The exterior styling certainly isnt IMO…

[nicoc.]

The joy expressed when you said “and the gas engine kicks off” at 11:12 ..
You contained that but we know u were smiling right there

[ajlee]

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.

[oscar]

The fact that it has a v8 and a nice interior design makes me like this car.

[DeltaEcho]

I saw one of these IRL at the local BMW dealership and I agree the exterior styling is polarizing. In terms of performance, would love to see a side-by-side with an Audi RSQ8.

[omardrives]

Unpopular opinion - I love the way this looks!

[Electro]

This is like an AMG and a Maybach I love the way BMW has maxed out the performance while also being so luxurious. I am also so glad BMW kept the V8 even though they added the hybrid. This is so good I love this.

[mistyroberson]

It sounds amazing and I love the blue color. I’m so glad these car companies are taking risks with the exterior colors. I would buy it!

[Lukksia]

the fact the badge on the back isn’t centered is really angering me

[emil]

beatiful interior espacially this vintage leather looks so unique and awsome

[inspireatrandom]

I drive an X5, and although mine is modded and quick, after test driving an XM, I'll be trading up soon. XM is NOT a practical car. Luggage area is smaller than x5, seating is more spacious. Suspension is harder (according to my daughter who sat in the rear). The car is darn obnoxious. But compared to the X5 this is just bigger and way more badass. The exhaust note is fabulous with the flaps open and its actually quite agile. I had a hard time deciding between the m760 e and the XM, but I ultimately decide that the XM is more memorable

[reginaldhenry]

I've been a fan for some time now, I don't know how you control yourself driving some of those cars, I would be tempted to floor it from time to time. Keep it up and the horn toot is a nice touch.

[manasgupta]

Yeah I have to agree with you. The rear looks cool but doesn't match with the rest of the design. They have to do something else in the front.

[bugzmoney]

He’s the only guy on YouTube that dose would famous horn test the best.

[scottleyva]

I love "Or if you forgot how to drive since you parked".

[skidstung]

Not my cup of tea but the interior is stunning. Bmw did a great job making the interior feel special.

[satoshiserben]

BMW best cars in the world, hands down

[warrenber]

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.

Hi Miles, loving your videos
however, I miss the old POV position, it seems to be more realistic and enjoyable to watch compared to the current position, it’s just super high and it's not giving us the feedback of the vehicle's driving experience. Have a great day!
