2024 BMW XM // REVIEW on Autobahn

[@Kxvito]

Congratulations to the BMW design team for making every new car they put out only look somewhat acceptable in black to hide the design as much as possible.

[@filounix]

In my opinion the 2022 X1 is the only bmw car what loks great.

[@Tomoyo0827]

I just saw one in the wild…it’s in blue and it’s revolting

[@binewtv2214]

This car is useless when you consider that the x5m is faster

[@CraZy291]

I like it. Not boring.

[@currycel470]

​@@filounix M2, M3, M4 all looks good.

[@rootsmanuva82]

You haven't lost your mind Max. Like you, I kinda detest the design of the XM. But in all black it looks downright menacing, which isn't a bad thing.

[@javieroargubi]

says alot about the design when people says its better in black 😅

[@SonicMasterEX]

The fact that Max loves the XM front face clearly shows that the hate of the i7 front face is unbiased lmao

[@chxnndnttv3337]

Nah not really, it somehow works better with the XM than the 7series

[@velikodusnicigan420]

​@@chxnndnttv3337i love new 7 series why bcs they look like rolls royce

[@hussamjamil4980]

I remember back in the early 2000s when the X5 was first introduced. BMW M CEO said in an interview "We will never make a M SUV version of the X5, we also will never make any M car turbocharged, it is not what we do". A couple of years later the X5M was launched, now every M car has turbos and look at that, we have M SUVs. So yeah....how things change.

[@whosalex420]

the back looks DISGUSTINGLY good. im in love with it and it became my dream car instantly, it didnt need to grow on me, i instantly liked it

Yolo, I'm one of the workers in the factory that build this car. I really want to see an intense stress test on this car since it's one of our most expensive SUVs we make comming in about 160k USD for the lowest tier package. Also if you guys have any questions about it do ask I might be able to answer them for you.

[@HeinrihsBisenieks]

God i love how the rear end looks

[@latlak]

The thing with the smoothness depends a lot on your Drivelogic setup. If your in setting 3, it becomes rough on purpose. For smoothness, chose 1.

[@rekaarnes]

First turbocharged M-V8: X5M E71 First M-AWD: X5 E53/X5 E71. First M-torque converter gearbox: X5 E71. First iteration of the S58: X3M. See a pattern here guys? The upcoming M5 will be a weapon

[@juancho939]

there was no M E53

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

It’ll probably be a pig to be honest. With a hybrid system that’s going to add hundreds of Kg, it’s going to to lose every advantage the F90 has.

[@rekaarnes]

@@Divine_Serpent_Geh oh for sure. Same as the GT63 S E-Performance, barely quicker than the regular GT63 S, while suffering from all the drawbacks of having a plug-in hybrid system. Still, the technology will become more efficient over time and BMW has proven with the XM, that their are capable to make even the fattest of pigs wiggle their rear end in corners

[@rekaarnes]

@@juancho939 Never claimed a X5M E53 exists. The E53 was the testing ground for M tho. See „X5 LeMans“. X5 4.8is also the first mass produced performance SUV by BMW. Hence me mentioning the E53.

Your X8 idea makes infinitely more sense, Max. BMWs marketing and model lineups make no sense nowadays, supposed to be a standalone M huh? 🤨

[@gugurobert]

Actually on the registration the model is called X8 M, at least in the brief from Germany test models.

Great video, the performance of this thing far exceeds my expectations of it!

I really like the exhaust and the upgraded interior on this monster.

[@marcellemmer1119]

The First Continental GT runs 326 km/h with 400 mm steel-brakes The X7 by Alpina also on steel. But i understand, ceramic should be possible.

[@jr1885]

It has steel brakes because BMW knows that the people who can actually afford to buy one of these won’t be racing them. Instead they’ll be going to high end stores and restaurants 😂

[@erikbouma9408]

I initially didn’t like it, but it is really starting to grow on me. It’s like the forbidden fruit. The interior is gorgeous as well. You need to have the exterior in black.Also, it is relatively cheap in The Netherlands, (145k) with all the good stuff on it.

[@rickbullock4331]

If Darth Vader stepped out of that car it would fit in my opinion. I like the look of the car. It definitely has a different rear view but I found that your head mounted camera kind of skews the view for me. The performance is right up there and I definitely wouldn’t be complaining. The shifts were quick and solid to me. I’m sure the price is elevated above my pay grade by a whole lot. I like it.

I saw the launch car aswell at BMW Munich and it was meh but I saw a blue metallic one with black accents on the road driving past me and it looked really really good. Obviously its a useless car but it really isnt as bad as most people say Also: Ceramic brakes are not necessary, steel brakes are better unless you drive on a track. Theyre just as strong and theyre a lot cheaper with similiar performance

[@SleepyAutoworks_Bill]

Plus the steel brake on this thing is crazy good

[@Aslan-tubenl]

Steel brakes are better with a car that almost weights 3 ton? 4/5 Times hard braking at the autobahn and the steel braking discs are done. So ceramic discs are required for this heavy tractor.

[@szymczak34]

@@Aslan-tubenl Ceramic brakes are only beneficial for making the rotors and pads last longer. That's why you see them used in endurance racing like LeMans 24hr and the like. Steel brakes are used all the time in racing where extra long life is not required. The stopping power, and ability to do multiple stops is just as good with steel.

[@thecevi9179]

I test driven new 5 series 520d and it’s most likely same steering feeling as you described in this car. It’s so strange. Car goes where you want it to but you don’t feel a thing and I didn’t like it at all. Sure, it turned great and even standard suspension was good but when I went back home in my f10 535d I was thinking that I wouldn’t swap them at all. Also interesting point is that newest 5 series have so bad response when shifting with paddles. It’s probably 3 times slower than f10. Actually even my fathers lci g30 540i have tiny bit slower response on up shifts with paddles but it’s almost not noticeable in this case.

The front is not an issue for me. It looks striking, which is the intention and I’m fine with it. And this was my opinion when it first emerged. I believe it’ll look better in person as well. I dig it. It’s the rear 3rd that doesn’t work for me. It looks squished and I’m not crazy about the tail lights.

[@petersilie7472]

I think the XM is just a very nichy car, that has it's own place and just doesn't want to be compared to other cars. By this regards, I think M has made a great job and it somehow hits the spot and time just right, maybe even a little bit ahead of it. This also explaines the design language, the plans for the 50i and also the reason why they did not include ceramic breaks as standard, because ceramic breaks are just not for every possible customer of this car - which is definetly not someone who wants to go on a track with it. In German we call this: Technologieträger.
