“Amazing” and “distinctive” are the words BMW uses to describe the XM’s bold style. The plug-in hybrid SUV is back in a full gallery with no less than 180 photos showing the sporty beast from every imaginable angle. What caught our attention was the black version with no gold accents while retaining the 23-inch alloy wheels. The dark look further hides the headlights and also makes the large front grille less distracting.
Touted as having a “no compromise design,” the 2023 XM is wider than any other BMW on sale today, at 2,005 millimeters (nearly 79 inches).

It’s worth noting that this electrified SUV has the same wheelbase as the X7 but will be sold exclusively in two rows. chair. The sloping roofline follows other high-end SUVs beaten with coupe sticks, including the Lamborghini Urus and BMW X6 M.
The XM is undoubtedly a sight to behold and looks substantially different from today’s full-fledged M SUV crop. BMW expects its main markets to be the US, China and the Middle East, but the high-performance luxobarge will also be sold in Europe and other regions. This is certainly not what fans expect of the M1 successor to the M 50 division .th birthday.
With wealthy people lured by high-end SUVs, it looks like Munich has another great seller. A low-volume supercar would have been a great way to celebrate half a century AD, but that didn’t happen. However, BMW will unveil the 3.0 CSL in November as the modern equivalent of the original E9 CSL. It will combine a manual gearbox with rear-wheel drive in a retro-style body while having slightly more power than the M4 CSL on which it is based.
