More Power, not More Sense // BMW XM Label Red Drive Review (POV)

[@CarswithMiles]

The inevitable depreciation is gonna make this one a lot more compelling in a year or so.

[@T_emporal]

omg MIles, i've been looking at the refreshed f90 m5, and was wondering if you would recommend the car. And if you know any cons of owning the car.

[@G82Watts]

It actually looks amazing and the interior is one of bmws best. The high price tag is what's holding it back. Things a tank tho

[@pencilboy34]

seeing some for sale near $100k, insane depreciate hit

[@T_emporal]

@@pencilboy34 lol where have u been seeing them for 100k? All the ones I've seen are around 60-80k!

[@T_emporal]

@@G82Watts i mean u can find some for the price of the new m2 so....not bad as buying the new g90 m5

[@athenagaming4482]

Finally a POV drive review missed them a lot, you should be more consistent with these kind of pov reviews, love your content though ❤

[@MilesPerHr]

I'm gonna have a mix of Drive Reviews and Day in the Lifes going forward 👍

[@wrpvybin9593]

Definitely still taking an x5m comp and pocketing the almost 60k difference. That being said I would much rather a lightly used m5cs over either any day‼️

[@carlosrieum1526]

facts

[@matthewgrayson8]

It is a good looking suv in person and has features not many other cars have, it’s worth it if you want something unique and solid.

[@JGRD124]

I've got to sit in one of these and I will say the rear seating is gotta be one of the most comfortable seats you will ever sit in. It's like they brought back the over-stuffed cloth seats from the 90's but put in leather

[@joemcdonough7509]

I noticed that too in a 740i. I'm a huge fan of ultra soft comfy seats. The ones in the 740i were cloth and had tons of comfy foam underneath. Just superb!

[@MilesPerHr]

Absolutely. First encountered these in the iX, then the i7/7 Series, and now the XM. They're terrific

[@warrenber]

Load the Cayenne with the same options that the XM has and it’s way way over the $149k price that you mention. I built one and it was more expensive. I’ve also done a 3.38s 0-60mph in my Label. I’m guessing it was fairly warm when you tested it.

[@jr1885]

I previously had a 21 X5M, and now a 24 XM. I don’t miss the X5M at all. The XM has a larger, more comfortable interior, plus the way I’m treated and looked at in the XM is totally different. VIP everywhere I take it.

[@MilesPerHr]

Interesting. So there really is a gravitas to the XM that the X5M lacks?

[@jr1885]

@@MilesPerHr the rear seat comfort was a selling point alone for me. That was one of my biggest complaints about the X5. Even the X3 has more comfortable rear seats.

[@bigdlife86]

Same. Just bought a ‘24 XM tonight too. Had a ‘22 X5 M50i 2 trucks ago (thanks, Lexus…), and this is just on a different level. Posher. Bigger. Harder edged. And so far love the PHEV component too, it’s already in hybrid or EV mode a ton, yet roars like a wildebeest so much more than an X5M/X6M. Side perk. Yes “more expensive” sticker, but the discounts are huge, the special rates are great, and you’ll walk out of any dealer today spending less money, with a perk BMW rate, than you can even get close to on an X5M/X6M… Weird helps. A lot💰💙

[@Javonn143_]

The uniqueness of this compared to a Cayenne would make me choose this. Also these come fully loaded, you’d probably spend more for the Cayenne to get it equipped the same way.

[@drhassan6892]

X5 M comp, fully loaded with a downpipe and exhaust, with a tune. 800+ and lighter better in every way

[@mmohamaddd]

i just want to let you know that your videos are so amazing and in depth. you are definitely one of the best reviewers out there. i love especially these new styles of what its like to live with this or that. amazing stuff!

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you for the support!

[@cq1311]

You should get your hands on a 2025 qx80 if possible, i trust your word the most out of most reviewers

[@DashingintheD]

No sunroof is crazy on a 160 thousand dollar truck

[@LuyoloBuyana]

Noise is perfect.❤

[@radon1671]

Finally some bmw vids!Thank you miles and happy 4th of July!

[@Car_conversati0nz]

I love this car, but I think the X5M Competition is a better deal.

[@anirudhghosh9934]

Red Label is a tea company in India 😂😂 Love from India ❤

[@yass123]

I love it❤ BMW being bold.

[@clutched77]

Sounds better than an Urus in the inside imo

[@mtshark7]

Awesome review Miles! Man that car is worth more than my 4 bedroom house lol. The engine does sound nice tho.

[@wickman604]

Hello miles...would you review the urus Performante too

[@fuze3522]

He already did

[@MilesPerHr]

Hey! I did that one not too long ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZiXfWZ5gLmMnas

[@wickman604]

Thank you ...on it right away

[@jamesjin5706]

In my opinion, perfect example of engineering success but business failure (to be honest not that huge of an engineering success either).

[@bjm11]

“Horn Sound like a distress animal” that’s too funny lol great video by the way 🙌🏾

[@G82Watts]

Interior is bmws best ever imo

[@jack_2612]

considering the mess they made (even with the completely apathetic interiors) in the X5M and the M5, the new ones, comparison was in this one's favour ahahah edit: this thing is 190k??? That interior is barely good enough for an 80k, at current prices. That's insane...

[@Garnett.]

Seen one at my local mall yesterday for the first time in the valet. The car looks so bulky lol.

[@Silver_Xarr]

19mpg is actually pretty decent I'm surprised

[@파일럿주원]

The BMW XM is already experiencing significant depreciation. Also due to low sales, I heard that the XM will be discontinued in 2028 and they will focus on Neue Klasse electric car platform. If you want to buy one, I suggest waiting until next year when you can purchase it for half of the current sale price. Overall great car but it's definitely not worth $190k, buy a Porsche with that money.

[@ELP1125]

I don't think a Porsche is worth $190K either, but it's your money 😂

[@ale0304p]

Buy a what? Porsche = Audi = VW. Go try a Cayenne and then an XM, you will understand a lot of things.

[@zolphdiggler]

i got my car cover that i won the other day! thanks!!

[@MilesPerHr]

Sweet! Thanks for letting me know. I hope you enjoy it

[@147427]

I don’t know who is this supposed to appeal to, i guess this is bmws version of a g wagon

[@Keitumetsemulaudzi]

Amazing ❤

[@G82Watts]

Honestly love the look of this car. I can see the hate of it being a flagship bmw M but if this was a different brand and marketed different i think alot of the hate would go away. Also the price is still super high

[@69Eman]

200k for this is bonkers

[@arizonaridersclub]

We're riding with ya.

[@sachinchoudhary5173]

Super 🔥🔥🔥

[@blazinmark1]

I own the baby version of this powertrain, I went from a 21’ M550i into an X5 50e. I find myself cruising in Hybrid mode all the time which means I’m in Electric mode 90% of the time. Would I justify an extra $1,000/month to my lease payment? Prob not since I’ll be driving the XM in Hybrid as well. (I am also in love with the Air Suspension on my X5) makes the 22” wheels feel floaty. Beautiful vehicle and convenient platform.

[@Cookiecrumbxz]

hey miles, i hope you make it to 1M subs:)

[@MilesPerHr]

Thanks! One day

[@74breaker]

I dont get it, why is it not red label and why no X8 Performance...?

[@HiiImChris]

I disagree, the back looks fkn awesome

[@ELP1125]

The only cool thing about the exterior is the illuminated grille.

[@Wizard_a200]

A love this car ❤

[@wickman604]

Porsche cayenne for me fr

[@whotf888]

The fact that currently this is the flagship M car is appalling.

[@ryanchan2302]

Could you do the taycan turbo s?😊

[@MilesPerHr]

I did a Taycan GTS not long ago, but I'll come back to the Taycan when the refresh is available.

[@PavementPencil]

BMW's "halo" car doesn't even have cross drilled rotors. That right there tells me everything I need to know.

[@HLPlaysWoWB]

Why are some videos using the 'living with' theme while some are reviews like the one above?

[@jellyfamidrissa9715]

pretty self explanatory......

[@MilesPerHr]

The "Living With" videos are more practical uses of these vehicles (more around town, errand running, car seat and cargo tests, fuel economy tests, etc). Drive Reviews are more focused on the exterior/interior styling and Driving Dynamics. Hope that helps

[@S8ER]

Is this the model they just killed off already?

[@tobias_k01]

There are rumors about this not getting an electric successor, but this model is still on sale and will continue to be until the planned end of sale, unless production takes away too much capacity that could be used better by models making more sales. It seems to not have been as successful as BMW wanted, but currently there is no reason to stop sales.

[@LemonViper00]

Get yourself a X5M then 340i for the price of one XM label red.

[@Skyreem2020]

The XM has been gaining popularity but BMW still dont know what to do with it as its still a niche car.There were reports about them not making an electric version and were phasing it out but they denied those reports. We'll see.

[@bigmixx]

Just way too expensive for what it is. Nice but price is a no go.

[@iluvg82s]

this car is AMAZING i dont really like ev's but this one is nice.!

[@MercOne]

This is NOT an EV.

[@MilesPerHr]

Not EV. Twin Turbo V8 + Electric Motor = PHEV

[@siamparagon9250]

This BMW is brass and in your face. The Bentley and Porsche, however much more comfortable, are too vanilla. BMW for me!

[@fireboltjd]

The XM has highway assistant and the X5M doesn’t. That’s the reason for the XM ;)

[@Themayseffect]

The rear end is actually the only thing i think looks nice. The interior is pretty nice though. I guess that's what matters.

[@chawamahlathini9830]

Gust call it red label it suit it's the car better. You should try to live with it

[@nas8938]

You guyss pictures do these some justice but please go look at one and drive one in person! This thing will make u want to give the salesman your credit card and tell him to swipe it even if there’s no money on your card😭😭 this thing is a monster to drive literally perfect and sounds so good

[@PavementPencil]

this gives me the exact opposite reaction to want to spend my money on

[@Alpha99333]

​@@PavementPencilAgreed. It's the antithesis of everything I like about cars.

[@SumanthCS-bq6uk]

I'd still take the x5m over this

[@MilesPerHr]

Same

[@steffenk.652]

Boring...

[@ale0304p]

I love the X5M, but the XM is on another level. The people don't understand it, but they will. I've tried both, X5M is nothing near an XM.

[@mikeepstein1234]

The front is amazing but not the rear.

[@Albebacck]

100k++ car red label top spec and only 2 doors keyless 😢

[@feraltrafficcone4483]

If only it was a sedan

[@abelldeez2146]

I think this looks ridiculous and pretty rad. In the real world this makes no sense but that's whats appealing lol

[@vaio96941]

That rear look like, people that losing his hairline

[@richiemao6991]

Only black color is looks more sinister and beautiful.

[@waynehill2746]

Do a night drive with this bmw.

[@BoBo-pl3ww]

What a weird looking car on both the outside, and inside. It makes me of think of a child who tried designing a Rolls Royce, but then the kid incorporated BMW and coughed a bit of Lamborghini essence on to it half way through the design process. Nonetheless, it's a cool car, but i would certainly just sell it and get a better alternative like the Cayenne Turbo GT or a Urus Performante; or if i want luxury, just get me a GLS 600 Maybach.

[@EclipticKitten]

nice

[@hyruler036]

Nice

[@tochukwunmachukwucholo2946]

Distressed animal indeed 😂😂

[@dcDOC19]

It feels like the design ethos of BMW lately has been inspired by the Chinese market. Models like XM, 7-series, IX, and new 5-series all have that same hideous shapes..

[@abdou6108]

a bit alienated but it could work ig

[@xavierperez7984]

Under 1 hour :)

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

Horrible value for the money. X7 is bigger, while X5M and X6M are faster. For the price u can kinda almost get the maybach GLS which is another leauge. The competition is fierce in this department and this car except being a showoff pony offers nothing special.

[@chrism869]

Nah this is the real urus ,caynne turbo gt ,rival it's not just a show off pony car

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

@@chrism869 How is this their competitor if its literally slower than an X5M in terms of performance? Comparable only in price and that its a flagship sure, but in anything else it lacks everything that other cars are just better at.

[@chrism869]

@Omgiamsotriggered it's not slower it has over 100 more hp than the x5m the xm label red has 750hp ,it literally keeps up with a cayenne turbo gt and a urus.

[@Omgiamsotriggered]

@@chrism869 it also has 400-500 kg more. X5M is literally faster lol you can check any comparisment online.

[@chrism869]

@@Omgiamsotriggered maybe 0 to 60 but at higher speeds the xm label red will pull away easily

[@TheSwedish_GlobalGuy]

I said mercedes 6x6 miles😢😢😢

[@edge7797]

I'm sorry but this is just not a good looking car. It would look better in black but that black line down the side looks like the designer sneezed while he was sketching it out.

[@lilphenomenon59]

The look is not for me

[@aleksandarst1]

That back 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[@EclipticKitten]

I would get one free hopefully god will help:)

No sun roof why BMW 🤦‍♂️

it will be heavier than an elephant with a sunroof on top of the already heavy equipment.

THE UGLIEST CAR IN CENTURY

[@Lazyforshort]

Hi

[@MilesPerHr]

👋

[@Dopeysharkofficial]

didn’t this the worst M car

[@KAZ109]

Ppl who keep saying they would rather have an X5M don’t understand that the XM is for the ppl that actually need backseat room. Stop comparing the two, there is no comparison, the XM is better in every way. It has way more room and it way more comfortable.
