Is the 2023 BMW XM the BEST new luxury performance SUV?

[@JogBird]

its like theres an unlimited demand for $100k suvs and pick up trucks

[@dnice362]

That’s how I know someone is successful. I use to think ok they have a new bmw or Benz or even Audi ok like they have a good but now a days if I see someone in a brand new pickup truck I’m like they are successful lol

Contrary to the picture being painted by media, there’s a lot of people with tons of money doing very well….

I'm a Star Wars fan so digging the gloss black/white combo Joe! Although I do think the body side molding running under the door windows is a tad extra. The more traditional kidney grilles are better than the ones on the M3/4. And I do agree body color wheel moldings would've been better than gloss black. Keep up the great videos!

I enjoyed it, very much. The colour combination that you have is perhaps not the best, though. It's a little boring (although the same colour combination as my X5 M50i). Anyhow, thanks for the video. 👍🏻

9:07 I think the corner bmw decals are an homage to the original m1. I could be wrong.

[@Steve-s3x]

Steve: I am a fan of your car reviews. Since I actually own a 2023 BMW XM, I thought about giving you and your followers my feedback and opinion about the 2023 BMW XM. The BMW XM is NOT an entirely new vehicle, and it is not a true M car. The facts are as follows: The XM is built on the current BMW X7 platform, not the X5, therefore, the size and the wheelbase are very similar. BMW X7 has been around since 2018, thus the XM sits on an old body frame. Unlike real V8 M S-engines like M8, M5, X5M, or X6M, the XM only has 483 horsepower and 479 ft pound of torque while real BMW M S-engines have 617 horsepower. After about 40 miles, the XM 194 electric power dies so in reality the XM has only 483 HP. The BMW M550, X5 M50/M60, X6 M50/M60, X7 M50/M60, or M850 have 523-hour power, which is more than the XM 483 horsepower. The XM is well over 6,000 pounds, which is about 1,000 pounds heavier than X5M or X6M. Thus, your gas mileage is not all that great, and your 0-60 is not that impressive on an XM compared to X5M or X6M. Unlike real M cars, the XM does NOT have the real 19-inch M Performance Ventilated Perforated Lightweight Brake System. In your review, you said you can open or close the roof. That is not true. Unlike real M cars, the XM does NOT have a carbon fiber roof or a Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof. Instead, you get the cheap-looing fabric on the roof with an overactive LED light. As you reported, there are no fiber-optic lights in the car. Unlike regular M X3, X4, X5, X6, and X7, the XM does NOT come with real windows manual or electric sunshades. The XM is equipped with the decade-old style M steering Wheel, while the X1M, the new 7 Series, and the new 2024 5 Series are all equipped with the new style M Steering Wheel. The rear 4-Zone automatic climate control in the back has been around since 2018. Your new 5 and 7 Series have much better looking and functional rear climate control. The gear shift and the center console multi-media iDrive system is an old set and has been around since 2018, compared to the new X1, 7, and 5 Series. As for the iDrive 8, the curve display. That is pretty much on every new BMW. There is nothing special about it. All door switches are old-style and have been around for almost a decade. In short, XM has borrowed 95% of old technology and equipment and for the most part, it lacks many actual M components and performance. Yet the vehicle is priced from a base of $159,995 to $185,995. What is so disappointing is that even with these high prices, you still must pay an extra $3,400 for the B&W sound system. The XM is bulky, its handling is not all that great like real M cars, and has poor all-around visibility from the inside. Once you start analyzing XM, you realize that it is not all that special. The BMW marketing team deserves an A+ for showcasing such an old car as new. With these price ranges, you can get a much better car than XM. I bought mine at about a 30% discount ($47,995) because I paid cash for the car. I am a car collector, so I purchased it solely because I wanted to have one. I am not even sure it is going to have any value in the future. In my opinion, if you want to lease or purchase an XM because that is the only car you are going to have to drive, get a real M5, X5M, or X6M.
