I drove the most powerful BMW M car EVER!

Meet the all-new BMW XM!

It’s the first BMW M-exclusive SUV, and Mat’s about to find out if it’s worth the eye-watering £147,000+ price tag!

For starters, let’s check out the design - and there’s no denying it’s certainly eye-catching! With a huge grille with horizontal slats up front, the XM looks like an absolute beast! There’s gold trim to be found from the front to the rear, and around the back, you’ll even find stacked horizontal tailpipes!

The impressive looks continue on the inside too, with a huge curved infotainment screen, super-comfy leather sports seats, and soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. There’s even a futuristic 3D-printed headliner!

Under the bonnet, you’ll find an almighty 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 653hp and 800Nm of torque. Although in the future a Label Red edition is due which will produce 748hp!

So it’s all pretty impressive, right? But is it really worth around £150,000?! Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

I like the way it manages to look horrendous from any angle

[luckyalbanotti]

I love how the designers thought about the environment, because looking like this, I would keep it in my garage forever.

Its a good thing its so powerful. That way it can go faster when it drives past people so they don't have to look at it for too long

WOW, BMW managed to build a vehicle that has all the charm of a pontiac aztec but at 10 times the price. Nice job!!

What a time to be alive! The 8 series is back, Lambo Countach is back and now the Pontiac Aztec XM is back!!

[santiagogervaz]

Loved the straightpipes crossover! My two favorite car YouTubers together !

[ahall]

I loved the electric only 0-60mph test, you should do that with all hybrids!

[shashikiransundi]

OMG The Straight Pipes cameo was hilarious😂

[TheMeanmarine]

The fact that he didn't even mention the straight pipes guys crawling out of the trunk made it even better 👍

Matt - the glorious V12 M760Li had real wheel steer. You reviewed one 4 years ago. Such a shame we won't see the likes of that fabulous car again.

[ahmeddraza]

The design team did a nice job of making the car look horrible from every angle. Consistency 👍🏻

[hugoarkeveld]

Love the straight pipes appearance! 😆😆

[kakashihokage]

That carwow stick of truth in the exhaust "ohhh this is pleasing !!." Caught me off guard 😂

6:34 “You just peel back the meaty flap and there’s easy access to the hole”
Damn you Matt 😂😂😂

[Alezey]

"2 more in the rear hole!!" The look on Matt after saying that made me LMAO 😂😂😂😂

[cheez]

I love how the designers really put effort into making the vehicle look like something a 6 yr old would make out of legos... none of the design elements go together! There's just random pieces and bits of design all mismatched and chunked together, truly something you would see from a mismatched lego creation a child made.

[neverendingweekend]

that was an awesome cameo of the @TheStraightPipes guys. whoever's idea, .. well done. 👏

Matt is that one friend that goes to weird night clubs 10:56
