Most powerful SUVs ever DEATHMATCH!

Introducing the all-new BMW XM!

It’s the first bespoke M car to be released since 1978, and it is absolutely insane! So let’s go take a closer look.

For starters, there’s no denying that the design is pretty polarising. Up front, there’s an absolutely huge lit-up kidney grille, 22” wheels as standard on either side and some stacked exhaust pipes around the back. It also has two BMW logos engraved into the rear window, just like in the last bespoke M car - the M1, released back in 1978!

In terms of performance, the XM is an absolute beast! It comes equipped with the same tried & tested 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 as found in the M5. However, the XM also comes with an electric motor which means it can produce 650hp and 800Nm of torque! That’s not all though - there’ll be a special Red Label edition released next year which will come with 748hp & 1,000Nm of torque! That’s 24hp more than the Ferrari Purosangue!

As for the interior, there aren’t too many surprises to be found here. It comes with the same wraparound infotainment system as found in the iX, and the entire interior is covered in Alcantara, leather and carbon fibre. All-in-all, it looks pretty special!

So it all sounds pretty impressive, right? The question is, should anyone be prepared to pay the eye-watering £145,000 price tag?! You’ll need to stick with Mat to find out!

BMW designers have discovered a ruler and can't stop drawing lines with it.

BMW back in the days: Angel Eyes
BMW nowadays: Angel Nose

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

Honestly... I have no words... it is very rare that you see something so mind numbingly hideous that it makes your eyeballs bleed. Well done BMW, you definitely impressed me

[EWL-]

Like imagine looking in your rear view mirror and seeing the a big green angry pig from Angry Birds chasing you 😂

[davidk]

The only car concept where you actually wanted the production version to look nothing like it

[MysteeriusFrend]

For some unknown reason I cannot explain, I like it... better than the concept even.

Car enthusiasts: “ We hate the new grilles! Make it smaller”
BMW: “No… I don’t think we will”

[AllAhabNoMoby]

The first car built by the M-sport division since the M1, and it's a 2.7 ton behemoth that holds a family, their dogs and luggage. 🤪

Telling Germans to produce cars is like telling italians to make a pizza

[nadz]

I wanna see the reaction of the designers when they looked at it and thought it looks good🙂

[planespeaking]

It's a good job it's so fast, means you don't have to look at it for too long.

[ivandoe]

And yes, there is also a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk with 707hp.

[efrosvovelu]

I don’t know I guess something is wrong with me, but I freaking love this thing 😅

[frits]

Let’s be honest; this thing is gonna sell like crazy, even if you guys all say it’s ugly.

[EconomicsMate]

Everyone else: EVs and hybrids need to look futuristic and cool
BMW: Let's give them more Grilles.

[kobuserasmus]

2710 kg, makes my Disco 3 V8 seems positively lightweight

[echln]

I love this! Much better than the concept

[captain_context]

The diffuser looks like its painted on. Just so they can point at it and call it a "diffuser" It likely has zero effect.
