The BMW XM is a full-size automobile manufactured in the United States by German marque BMW since 2022.[5][6] 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.[8] A more powerful special-edition trim, the "Label Red", was also announced alongside the unveiling of the XM on 27 September 2022.[9][10]
Along with its 4.4 L (268.5 cu in) V8, the BMW XM uses an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic gearbox that produces 145 kW (197 PS; 194 hp) and 281 N⋅m (207 lb⋅ft)[14] BMW mentioned that this system is also used in their BMW M Hybrid V8LMDh car. The electric motor is powered by a 25.7 kWh (92.5 MJ) battery, which has an estimated range of 48 km (30 mi) (US EPA) / 88 km (55 mi) (WLTP), and has regenerative braking recharging abilities.[14] The electric battery, charging at its maximum of 7.4 kW, can charge from 0-100% in 4.25 hours.[15] The towing capacity is 2,700 kg (6,000 lb) for braked trailers, and 750 kg (1,650 lb) for unbraked trailers.[15]
The XM has permanent four-wheel drive with a rear-wheel drive bias, a bespoke M Sport differential situated at the rear axle allowing for torque vectoring.[14] The XM's handling is controlled by 48-volt electrical active anti-roll bars along with steel springs, adaptive M dampers and active steering.[9] Power is sent via an 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission to the 23" wheels which are fitted with 275/35R23 tires at the front and 315/30R23 at the rear.[14] The XM uses six-piston fixed-caliper brakes in the front, and single-piston floating-caliper brakes in the rear.[15]
