Anyone I know that has an XM has said the same thing, they all love it. I have not heard one bad thing about it from XM owners.
I also convinced someone to go on a test drive and they got back to me saying my review was spot-on about it feeling like an M5 in an X7 chassis. I wouldn’t believe it either had I not driven one myself. They are an absolute joy to drive.

To those of you that have the X5M’s and X6M’s, those are fantastic vehicles too (I used to own a regular X6), but the XM is noticeably bigger - especially in the in the second row. If you’re 6’ plus like I am, you can sit in the second row with the front seat all the way back and still have room without touching the seat in front of you.

I recently (last week) cross shopped the 24 x6m and xm label and really liked both. I ended up going back to an x6m (even tho it was a tiny bit more expensive out the door) cuz I just wasn’t ready for the plug in hybrid life.

I’m down to plug the car in to charge or gas it up but don’t want to deal with having to do both.

Shame they didn’t produce it, would’ve been interesting to see the next gen i8.
Not sure what it has to do with the XM though. One is a mid engined 2 seat sports car, the other is a school bus.

I have an XM Label and it astonishes me every time I drive it. As hard as this is to believe, it feels like it’s an M5 inside of an X7 chassis. Sure it’s not for everyone, but I urge you to go test drive one before hating on it so harshly. It’s an incredible vehicle.

It does not feel or drive like an SUV. Go test drive one and I think you’ll be surprised.
My enjoyment from a car is not just based on the experience behind the wheel. The engineering in m cars these past 5+ years has been excellent. Much of the criticism however has nothing to do with the engineering.

They needed to improve the shut lines placement, but I’d had been a good design overall…

I don't care if it goes around Willow faster than a Ferrari 488 Pista, does 0-60 in .8 sec, gets 900 mpg and costs $5. It will always look like &*^% no matter good it might drive so driving it is irrelevant.

OTOH, this thing actually looks pretty good, not anything like most new BMW designs. Clean up the rear and it looks really cool.

It’s perfectly OK if you don’t like the vehicle I own, but there’s just no need to insult people’s rides. I may not like yours either, but I wouldn’t insult you for it. It doesn’t take much effort to show a little restraint and class.

Great point. Remember this the next time you post how good your XM is compared to something else. Because you’re doing the same thing you don’t want people to do to you.

However this is a forum that shares opinions sooooo maybe not the place to be offended by a person’s reaction to something you enjoy. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Enjoy your ride

Looks wise, it’s a great looking car in person; at first I wasn’t sure until I saw it in person and it’s a great looking car.
Coming from most recently X5M competition and have owned/driven all the performance SUVs in production, I can tell you that my XM label is faster in a straight line than my X5M comp with racechip. So straight line performance goes to XM label. Driving on streets the XM label handles better due to rear wheel steering at low speeds and feels more planted than my X5M comp at higher speeds. Now I am sure a professional driver on a racetrack in the X5M would probably be faster when pushed to the limits due to its power to weight but as I am NOT a professional driver and am on regular roads all the time, I am not able to push it to the limits so the XM handles better as a daily driver.

Other positives over my X5M comp are the rear seats in the XM label have incredible legroom and are the most comfortable rear seats I have ever sat in. Also, I can carry my downhill MTB easily in the rear with seats folded down and in my X5M it was a hassle trying to get it to fit so I usually drove my suv with a hitch.
