2023 BMW XM review! The 2023 BMW XM is controversial: it's a bit odd-looking, it's massively expensive, and it's very heavy. Today I'm reviewing the XM, and I'm going to show you the quirks and features of this ultra-luxury high-performance SUV. I'm also going to drive the XM, and I'll show you what it's like behind the wheel of the new BMW XM.

    2 interesting points: This is based on the X7 chassis but this drives small. I had some time behind the wheel, and it was amazing that it's full sized on the outside but performs and handles much smaller. It doesn't defy physics in the Twisties though. Also about the headliner... in a day where OEMs are doing pano roofs, this is solid with no sunroof.

As a Bavarian, as much as i dislike BMWs insane Designs every few Years, i also see them very quickly and often here on the Autobahn and in the Cities and get very very quickly used to them and even end up liking them after half a year or so. Take the BMW M3 Touring with the huge Grille, i think it looks beautiful, especially in Person. But i didn't like it when the big Grille was new.

    @@nick407 To expand on this. In the case of iDrive and a lot of other OEMs infotainment systems, they are doing more and more based on old platforms like WindowsCE which hasnt been supported by Microsoft since 2010! Then you have the fact that these vehicles require automotive grade chips, which are expensive if you want the latest and greatest, so they cheap out on them. Very expensive to build an entirely new more optimized OS while trying to maintain compatibility with all the axillary systems connected to said OS. The new infotainment systems that are actually responsive (E.g. Tesla, Rivian, lucid), are more optimized. Manufacturers are now starting to switch to linux based platforms including Android Automotive OS (not to be confused with Android Auto) which should increase responsiveness even when using older chips. The next iDrive, iDrive 9 will be android. Hopefully BMW secures better chips.

    Worth pointing out. The first press release model of this car design was quite a bit different than this. It was basically an over exaggerated example of all the design effects on the production car. They just pulled it back by like 2 notches to make it more generic. If you go back and look at that first version, it looked truly bizarre, Hard to understand how a major company comes up with the Delorean of SUVs in present day.

    yup the XM concept has forever tarnished the perception of this car. Not that the production model did anything to improve its chances much... And to think this is how BMW wanted to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the M-division - with a clunky ass ugly looking poor performing suv pile of shit. BMW has truly lost its senses, management needs to be gone.

They have heated and cooled front and rear seats, driver and passenger massage seats, lane centering (partial self driving), lane keep assist, cross traffic alerts, self parking, remote start, 360 camera, awd, stock ground effects, multiple driving modes... It's literally a no brainer for the power, features, and price. NO lie, for $160k+ SUV, I better have a PS5 and screens in my head rests.
