BMW XM Review - What's it like to drive a R3.4million, 2.8 tonne hybrid M car?

- BMW certainly raised some eyebrows with the design of the new XM, especially since it is also the first bespoke M car in decades. But beneath that interesting exterior is an absolute tech fest, and a drivetrain unique to BMW.
However, many fans of the brand were left asking, how can a 2.8 tonne SUV be a true M car? Well maybe the answer is, does it need to be?
The XM offers a thoroughly modern and diverse driving experience, as it can run in full electric, hybrid or bonkers M, max power mode, producing 480kW from the 4.4 litre twin turbo V8, combined with electric assist.
In this video, our Joburg correspondent Jacob Moshokoa takes us on a tour of this new behemoth, and tells what it's like to live with this large, rapid and luxurious SUV.

Can we please have more reviews from this chap...love the energy
Seconded. He's genuine and doesn't seem to be 'script-centric', he let's his passion lead the review. 🙌🏽👌🏽
Me too. Love his energy. Very relateable and easy on the ear
100%
This guy didn’t only review this car , he is selling it to us.
Exactly bro😂
😂😂❤
Let start a stokvel to save for the car. we will take turns using it...hahahahah... this guy is brilliant hey.
@@tsekemahlatji5765 wouldn't waste my money on a car like that
@@tsekemahlatji5765 if we can find 150 odd other people we can definitely afford this thing on finance over 72 months either residual
If I was part of the ANC I would be driving this BMW XM😅
The masters of corruption
🎉
😂 💯
Doest take armour plating so well, not like the land cruiser😅
Brilliant review. This guy is good. It's the first time I come across his review and I am blown away!! 👌👌👌
Best car reviewer I've experienced in years! Great job.
This car is just beastly! Saw it in the metal and damn! I cannot compile the right words...
This gent is good, goodness he sounds like he was paid by BMW to review this car 😁.
Outstanding energy from the reviewer, please bring him back.
Petition to have this guy do all BMW reviews from now on?😂
Can we please have more of him. Very refreshing personality
Man that was GREAT REVIEW! Hands down. If it wasn't for the R72.50 in my bank account I'd be buying this car this weekend.
You guys found an excellent new reviewer, please can we keep him 😂
Please
Does it look striking? Yes, does it turn heads? Yes. Is it making me dizzy with all the lines? Why yes, yes it does
So good to see Jocob on here. He's great.
Lol need to see this guy often... Love his energy
After watching this review, i think i want to be a motoring journalist. This guy just ate this review up 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇿🇦
Hands down my favourite reviewer. I see this guy, I click like. By the way, I'm one of the few that like the looks of the XM. The front design is similar to the 7 Series, but on the XM it looks much better than on the 7 Series. I think it's because the high riding SUV platform provides a better aesthetic for that kind of design.
His name is Jacob Moshokwa. He is so good
Slow down there, Chana. Know your limits, there’s no way you’re faster than a taxi 😅
He must curb his enthusiasm 😂
He is taking it too far... taxi..😅 no no
the people move out the way cos they think its the blue light parade gang 😂😂. Brilliant review 👍👍
Haha the BMW joke where you don’t even indicate was a good one. Very nice review man
The guy is engaging, and takes you on a journey just by using his words, facial expressions and classic South African flair. XM☑ presenter☑☑
I’ve always seen him on tv, to have him here is pure bliss. I don’t like the look of the XM but man, I’m sold on everything else from this review. Great job.
Jacob, makes me wanna buy this car with my R0,50 😂
True what they say... To some it might be too weird but I can agree this Beemer made it's mark. Was drawn to it since the concept design. Well done Jacob on another stellar review
This guy Mara.. 😂 the energy is 👏🏾
nice review...loved the energy...criticised things without a fuss...will be waiting for your next review...
Dude, the way you are so convincing, I'd literally go buy this car cash if I could. What a review 👏👏👏.
Loving your unique style of review, my man. Loving the Gusheshe t shirt, too. A proudly South African moment right there.
You can buy yourself a Gusheshe shirt in our online store: www.sentimetal.shop
@@Carscoza let me check it out right now
I saw this car in waterkloof Pretoria a day before this video, and i was like, "What kind of bmw is this!, i want this car." I'm shocked to find out it's R3.4m.
how big iz it 🤣
Love ur presentation style! Im only one dream away from getting one😂. Welcome! Hope we will see many more thoroughly enjoyable reviews from u.
At first I thought this review will be boring but noooo this guy is excellent👊🏽
We need introductions cuzzie!💪
If I put R1000 in my tank and saw 200km range I'd be sick 😂
Dude, the presenting is top tier❤😂, really enjoyed this review.

Presented perfectly 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥
That's it, we don't need another review of this car, this Brother has just sealed it for all of us and tied a red ribbon on it for good measure. 😅 His appreciation of this automobile easily rubs on to a lot of us. 🙌🏽👌🏽
Nice review man.
The car and the guy - best presentation in 2024! Thank you very much!
For ANC elite only. They stole so much money they can buy two per person, easy 🙌
Excellent review.

Nailed my guy! This was fire review. Did you mention the torque, how many speakers... Nice one my guy!!!!
this thing looks like a spaceship at Night 🔥so much presence ! Love the new dude 🤣
Can't believe this man has made me like the XM.
Reviewer of the year for me
"James home, James "😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love thi guy❤❤
wont lie, the black colour mitigates it's horrendous design quite well.
Love the spec on this test unit!
The best car review ever 👏
You’re the best my guy 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
The Blue-light Brigade have placed their orders 🙃
Lo mjita is the salt of the earth. Job well done.
Wow this car I’m sold
I looks badass! I love this car.
This guy makes me want the XM so bad, as if I have that kind of money. 😭😭😭
Awesome review!
Amazing !!!
Love review Jacob. You convinced me to buy this car but then i realised i am broke 😂
I can't imagine how many speed fines you would have picked up on that stretch of road 😂, especially between Marlboro and woodmead. Excellent sales pitch man 👌👏👏
Amazing
You don't even need blue lights to let everybody know you are on your way. The bluelight boys will look at you and give a thumbs up. They did when I drove the i8. I like the reviewers positive attitude. I cannot wait for mine.
Great review 🎉 the hardest part of reviewing cars is tailor your presentation to your audience and your nailing it. BMW drivers love to be seen and heard.
You nailed it, "BMW drivers love to seen and be heard". 👌🏽🤞🏽
More Jacob please!!!
I love your energy my Guy, you sold the car to me. I going to buy it with my -300 balance🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤝🔥the energy from this guy🔥💯
WHO IS THIS GUY!!!!!!!!! THE BEST EVER!!!!
Lov this guy 💪💪💪
This dude is a breath of fresh air, at how i see him, he is about to dominate the youtube motoring industry, well delivered sir!!!
i want this
Fantastic review, well done! More of this guy please 👍🏻
I'm impressed by the guy I must say. This BMW design cars of today its love it or hate it but one thing you can't fault BMW is its drive train 🚆 and handling of the car they are spot on that department great review by the way
The XM is just magnificent it was love at first sight for me
I like his energy
BMW XM let's go take G Class sales 🔥🔥🔥😈
It never will. It isn't the same. The G will always outsell this by far.
True! And this will depreciate like crazy, the G-Class barely loses money
And the G Class sounds like heaven in comparison to this
Don't mean to pull the "race card" but for a black dude... you killed this review, dude.
YOU MAKE ME WANT TO PUT AN ORDER RIGHT AWAY
I love this guy 😂
I saw it in metal at Festival of Motoring. It looks dope
Love
Who is this guy 😩🔥🔥🔥🔥
