But then again, BMW as of late has me questioning a lot of their decisions.
The 750e is supposed to make 480hp, about 60 more that the G550. So I think it's safe to say that even the base XM will be pretty quick. If it gets the high-tune B58 hybrid rumored to make 560hp (which will be in the G60 M550i), even better.
