The XM is the latest test for BMW fanatics: Yet another performance SUV, it also is M's first plug-in hybrid. And it weighs three tons.
We were introduced to the Concept XM just short of this time last year, and now BMW M's first plug-in hybrid,with an electrified 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 and the ability to be plugged in for some EV-only driving range. That combination—SUV, plug-in hybrid, and, we should add, somewhat odd looks—might be controversial for the BMW faithful, especially when bundled on an M-badged vehicle.
To help the XM change direction with M-like authority, it has a 50-50 front-to-rear weight distribution. Also, there is an M Sport rear differential that allows for fully variable distribution of drive power between the left and right wheels.
You might be looking at the pictures here thinking"gloss black? Does MotorTrend need its eyes checked?" No, we do not—you're looking at the optional"NightGold Metallic" exterior trim, which changes the side window trim, outer grille border, and surrounds in the rear diffuser from black to a stunning gold finish.
