Did the folks in BMWDE bother to look and see if Black Label was used? I foresee Lincoln suing them, at least for US vehicles, unless they tweak the name.

the most annoying thing about this car, is that it will come out, and ALL journalists will just say how wonderfully it drives, how BMW still got it, etc. And youtubers will love its quirks and features. Indeed it will sell nicely, as long as economy is going strong, otherwise it will flop because it is too late to Urus party and excess of teens.
The most annoying thing about this car is that people will like it?

Cool story man.

I think I saw this car testing in Munich last week (not sure, but could it be?). Notice the Hybrid test vehicle text in the back.

I actually saw the pre production version of the XM last night and got to sit in it. I have to say it's definitely out there in terms of styling but in a good way. Doesn't look as big as an X7 but not as compromised as an X6 either. Front grows on you with split 7 series style headlights, and the side/rear profiles look great. Lots of gloss black trim down low will be a detailers nightmare.

In a sea of white, grey and black SUVs this thing will definitely stand out. The standard model will have 480kw and 800nm torque.

I assume that's the V8 one, don't quote me on this though, don't say "Amy says it's a V8 model" I am not sure.

I'd say when some cars got M-Performance. Some don't really need it.

But at least, you have an point. People in my country say M-Sport trim is the reason of it. I'm like don't opt for it, then….?

Tell that to the Urus you are about to race at the high street

"Wait, give me a minute while I buy the max power package"
"Oh i should probably get launch control, hang on..."

Proceeds to lose to said Urus

With forums you never know if people read between the lines, or not. So my point was, that this XM will drive well for its size, and that will get it some praise that will be disproportionate for what it is.

Correct me if I'm wrong- but I had heard multiple times in videos and test drives with the project lead himself saying "you will not be able to purchase an XM "base" or smaller model?

true, but the marketing departments cant help themselves with 5k-8k-10k "packages" that we gobble right up

Until Euro banned ICEs against Germany's vehement protests,

so now this is their last ICE, got to make the most of it.

They wanted to make a 6 pot hybrid for the M3/4 but this has been canned since the legislation was passed it seems

That's all fair honestly. I assume the XM with B58 will be EU only, but US is gonna get S68.

If they give us the rear legroom of a LWB 7-Series then I'm sold. Currently have an XB7 Alpina and second row legroom sucks balls.

Looks like Red was the correct (first) special label.
