The BMW XM Red Label will cost £170k
► Will cost £144,980; Label Red is £170k
You’re looking at the XM, the latest weapon produced by BMW’s M-division, and probably the most divisive yet. Put the looks to one side for the moment, and it’s everything you’d expect from an M-badged car: there’s trick drive modes, a silly 0-62mph launch of 4.3 seconds and a high-revving V8 with forced-induction – only now it’s also helped by hybrid power. That’s a first for any M car.Stop looking at the grilles – we’ll get to those later.
If you think that’s overkill, you’d be right; the XM uses the same drive concept that BMW will be using in its forthcoming LMDh racecar – though here it’s stuffed into an SUV-thing. The XM is capable of a 4.3sec 0-62mph sprint and is limited to 155mph.Power is funneled to all four wheels by an eight-speed Steptronic transmission.
Drive goes to all-four-wheels as standard, and there’s also DSC to improve grip in slippery conditions. BMW hasn’t specifically mentioned a ‘drift mode’ but it’ll most certain pop up.The XM is 5110mm long, and 2005mm wide – making it the widest car you can get from the brand. It’ll use double wishbone front axle along with a five-link rear axle.
There is a little more to it, though, as BMW has squeezed even more power out of the plug-in hybrid system. A total of 738bhp is available, dropping the 0-62mph sprint time down to 3.8 seconds. The top speed is limited to 155mph still, but can be lifted to 180mph via an option pack.Oh, just £144,980. And, if you’re that way inclined and want a limited edition model, you can pay even more for the limited run Label Red: £170,860.
