Someone mentioned looks like it was inspired by Halo but it takes me back 25 years to Quake II from Id Software. Curious what the pricing is. Guessing a bit of a premium over the X5/X6M?
No you're not. Toxic haters are louder.
This car is absolutely stunning. It's bold, aggressive, fresh. And better looking than all of its competitors.

Markus went to the board for the exclusive M project. He presented this:


But the board liked the car in the background better and axed the supercar.

Two years later, Markus is gone.

One is a Toyota RAV-4 and the other is the BMW Concept XM.

We can just skip reasoning with the designers at this point. Can we schedule an intervention with the board of directors? They are the culprits that approved this bullshit.

Let’s keep it professional, shall we?

For me this vehicle is plain ugly and kitschy…

Then why is the g80 grills still universally thought to be bad to this day

I can see die hard bmw customers coming around after a period of de-sensitization. Though, the fact that such a de-sensitization period is required says volumes about the real agenda here... are they making cars for drivers or are they pushing something on the ppl that no one really wants.. (kind of like EVs)

But ask non bmw car people and see what they think about the g80 grills

Everyone is going to have their own opinion inevitably, but hey, its defenitely generating the buzz.

This car is best representative of the ideas of 'old money' and 'new money', this is defenitely new money. Look at it that way and suddenly its over stylized body, its 'look at me' pig nose and gangster style 23s makes complete sense.

BMW once again proves that they can flip the finger on its loyal customers, they just need to find a new audience that has more money. No doubt they see the new money is their new cash cow.

Generating buzz for being a laughing stock of the auto world

Yeah... I think after the X3/Q5 the BMW to Audi comparisons are no longer directly comparable. I would probably place the XM in between the SQ8 and the Urus..... Perhaps a Cayenne Turbo SE Hybrid Coupe.

Not saying its right, but press is press to them, it goes with the new money's 'haters gonna hate' mentality

Hey, at least you will find the next influencer in one of these, and we'd all be dupes to click on it

I don't see any resemblance other than the shape of the fenders' openings.
BMW is doing better than ever; selling more cars and almost all their models are critically acclaimed.
Haters gonna hate.

The vertical exhaust outlets don't work for me. Jumps out as completely out of place.

Tail lamps, bumper, windows, badging….all orient horizontally. Why throw in a split vertical element?
