I think I saw this same exact car on Demolition Man back in the 90s.

Imagine they are touting this monstrosity as the first dedicated ///M car since M1 lol
Wtf happened to BMW, very sad.

I can’t stand the idiotic Ipad dash!

Here were the glory days - thanks to Hoovies Garage:



The original X5 is still one of the best styled SUVs ever made and looks worlds better than this new XM.

Am I the only one who feels like all the modern cars are made in some chinese factory? They all look and feel exactly the same, down to the ipad graphics.

The new BMWs are awful, indeed Bangle era styling is not offensive at all in comparison.

I usually can't stand a single Supercar Blondie video, but according to her, BMW's official in-house working title for the XM was "The Rockstar."

Has non-spinner hub caps! BMW needs an intervention.

I'm surprised BMW hasn't sent ninjas to his house yet.

Nice interior but the exterior looks like what cars look like in futuristic video games from the early 2000s.

So excessive and blingy.. clearly designed for badge snobs and influencers. Wheel center caps are no longer the famous BMW roundel either.. instead they say "BMW" in all caps so you can point and say "look at my BMW"

Very sad that the first "Pure M" car since the M1 to represent BMW's Motorsport expertise being applied to an M-only dedicated car.. is an SUV. Such a shame. Oh, and conveniently weighs just over 6k lbs for the tax writeoffs lmao.
