BMW XM: The midlife crisis

Fifty years later, discovering the XM, it is to be believed that lately, the Bavarian manufacturer has not renewed its subscription to the gym.

So to celebrate its half century of existence, most of which are dedicated to competition at the highest level and to the development

It's a bit like Ferrari getting into the idea of marketing them in turn or Porsche selling a lot more than the 911.

Admit that as the successor to the divine M1, the first and only Motorsport model not derived from an existing BMW so far, this XM stands out.

This is really a question of a rechargeable hybrid drive chain.

Integrated into the 8-speed automatic gearbox, the electric motor produces 197 hp and 280 Nm

Enough to promise 0 to 100 km/h in 4”3 and 0 to 200 km/h in 14”3 with the help of the essential Launch Control.
