  • We review the newest and hottest vehicle to hit the pavement, the 2024 BMW XM high-performance SUV. With a game-changing style and swagger, this $170,000 as-tested SUV can hit the road, track, and trails like never before. This German masterpiece takes aim and conventional design and flips it on its head. This nearly 700HP V8 is everything artistic Gen Z and Gen Y enthusiasts have longed for.
    The Nissan Murano Cross Cabrio, Evoque Convertible, GLS AMG, Porsche Cayenne, and Audi RSQ5 are others to consider.

      On an 18 wheeler the bare rims are often 22.5"; the common tire for that rim is 40" in diameter.
      If you're around 6ft tall the semi truck tire is going to be roughly waist high on you. If you're a dwarf under 5' tall you are likely to have short legs relative to your upper body and the BMW tire will be roughly waist height on you.

    For me, it's for ultra-wealthy newly rich. When you don't have an acquired taste, but want to show off at any cost. Then something that looks different and flashy brings more attention. I think it's the perfect car for a teenager that has a newly-rich ultra wealthy parents, coming from a family that was in extreme poverty not long before. Such families have this urge to prove they are worth something, even if it means resorting to complete kitsch. There are many newly-rich people in Asia right now because of economic development, so maybe they also target them.

    As someone in the design industry, I see what the designers may have been trying to do with many of the design elements, and I DO actually like a lot of what was done. I will clarify that statement though by saying, this is IF you zoom into these particular elements and view them in a vacuum. What do I see when I pull back and see this thing as a whole? To me it’s the perfect physical analogy to an artist’s sketchbook or sheet of trace paper. A collection of interesting ideas but drawn out at different times, with different aims. To me, this product is BMW’s way to fast track their design process and present what should be 3-4 design iterations and model years, and compact them into 1 to see what works with the public.
    If the result of this model is BMW finding a way to modernize and introduce a new design language sooner, rather than giving us normal, expected designs but with beaver teeth grills or lego-inspired front and rear fenders of the M2…I might accept this XM and give BMWa pass, but I’m not too hopeful at this point.
