Overview
The BMW XM is a full-size automobile manufactured by German marque BMW since 2022. It is a crossover SUV with a plug-in hybrid electric drivetrain, and is the second car developed entirely by BMW M, after the BMW M1 in 1978. Three versions are currently available, the entry level "XM 50e" with the B58 3-liter inline 6-cylinder petrol engine, the base "XM" with the S68 4.4-liter V8 petrol engine, and the "XM Label" with the same S68 petrol engine as the "XM" but tuned to produce more power and torque figures. There is also the "XM Label Red" version which is physically and mechanically identical to the "XM Label", but with a limited production run of 500 units.
