BMW XM (2024) | Perché Comprarla... e perché no

Summary

The video reviews the new BMW XM, an exotic and bold SUV combining BMW's X SUV and Motorsport divisions. With extreme styling, the highest power BMW road car engine, and plug-in hybrid technology, the XM delivers incredible performance - sprinting 0-60mph in 3.0 sec and reaching 270km/h. However, handling is compromised by its 2.7 ton weight. The opulent interior offers the latest tech but some ergonomic issues. With a base price of €180,000, the provocative XM aims to attract attention and polarize opinions as BMW's experiment in audacious and original choices.
