I just don’t get the point other than to be different than everyone else. Other than that, it doesn’t excel in any way or provide a different experience compared to cars that are already available like the x5m or the x7 m50i.
I have noticed that there is kind of a trend in the auto world to hate bomb anything new or different. It's a shame because anything daring gets put down... I do agree with some of the opinions on its price and weight. However, it is by no means a bad car. I really like it!
@kingsgarage938 but it's still something new with great features. It doesn't need to be faster by a fraction of a second for the car to be valid. It's got many features, which still makes it a good competitor, so I just don't see why it was hated to the extent it was.
@@txl1472 not mainly about the performance, yes it has new features but those features are getting trickled down into other models and the luxury and convenience, you could probably get that from the 7 series or the x7 while being less expensive and if you want the electric aspect, the iX is also a decent option. But imo I’m just disappointed that bmw couldn’t have done something more for their halo m car that truly embodies what the m division stands for
Had one in Dubai and personally loved it! I watched lots of reviews on it after and this is the first one that actually matches my sentiments on the car too. I’d have one but not at the price they’re at right now. Probably 80k max
Even your Revuelto can self charge it's hybrid battery. I have to say the XM is growing on me, and I've seen a couple in person. I also wish it had a panoramic sunroof instead of that strange hexagonal pattern. BMW does lighting in the glass sunroof as well. The only thing I can think of is the M division said no because they wanted a lighter roof for handling purposes.
@@tomi-auto I hated it when they released it. Then I saw it that same colour, I was surprised that I actually liked it and felt I could actually buy it.
I believe in the US and in the UK it does not recharge in e control due to regulation. This means that it will do its best to recover energy from braking and overruns but it does not work well enough to recharge unfortunately.
I own this car and personally I love it. Also the battery does charge itself back up if you drive in eControl mode. And actually charges it up quite quickly considering it’s through regen. 20:01
The self charge it is ok for the reasons you have mentioned. I have drove a Panamera hybrid 4 years ago and it had the self charge function, I didn't like it (it is my opinion) because it kept the engine rev'd up all the time and for this reason it uses a lot of fuel, which in fact hybrids are trying to avoid (burning unnecessary fuel). To be "greener" which none oof the cars on this planet are, no matter the type of technology they are using, you will have to charge the car at home, office or dedicated parking lots with charging infrastructure; they say it is less damaging for the planet the using electric current to charge the battery. (this is also debatable) because if you generate electricity with cole, you are not greener; and if you dig huge holes into the earth to extract Litiu, etc, while using 100 L of diesel/hour on the machines that dig the earth, you are not greener either. But I like the technology used and the instant torque that it provides, no V8, V10, V12 will ever do on their standard gas engines; for torque you need high rpm, turbo's need to build up pressure and all of that takes time; yes, it will go faster Urus, but XM although it is not as fast, it gives you that feeling of going very fast due to its electric motor.
Some motoring journalists would disagree with you there regarding the handling and comfort, a lot of them feel like the suspension is too firm and the steering is a bit less effective. But then again the XM is a M car made for the track and but also use o public roads. But I don't think Tomi should bother with the XM and rather spend it on the upcoming M5 Touring, which btw shares the exact same engine as the XM, and I lowkey think it could be faster. But Nonetheless, great content Tomi.
I saw this car in person some months back and I didn’t know what it was. I actually liked it because it looked so different. I immediately found it online and all the reviews were meh. I still liked it though and I’m considering it. That’s if I can find a deal on one!
I think people hate it to justify why they cant afford it but it looks better than the urus, and i say that because i just saw both of them right now in your vid.
I know you probably get asked this a lot, but what do you do for a living? I watched your "who is Tomi" vid but could you give more info on what you do in music and how you came up. Any tips you could give would be much appreciated; something unique to you. btw, I like the ethos of your car club and wish you all the best with that. Cheers
I wouldn’t fully consider this a g wagon competitor since the g wagon was originally built to be a luxurious off roader which means some comprises were made, but the XM might not do as well of road as the g wagon but will do better on road.
M is about focusing on sport aesthetics not being luxurious my brother. A lot of people forget that BMW focuses on a balance of sport and luxury. If you want all luxury with BS glitz and glamour the feminine brand Mercedes focuses on that. TBH the URUS is over glorified over compensating nonsense. Interior over overcomplicated and boring and you can tell it’s and Audi with a replaced shell.
No, it’s a car while mine is being repaired. I would have said it was terrible if it was and that would have probably got more engagement. I’m saying I like it because I do…
How do you know that, only 541 were sold in first 4 months of 2024, you have obviously driven one of the £174K ones have you, I can see people saying they don’t like there’s on here.
The XM is unloved for zero reason it's not even ugly all it is is peak Ronnie Coleman in car form that's it , it's just a gigantic statement piece with massive power and looks you can't look away from , alot of guys will never be muscular and huge and probably don't like that huge size of guys but they still look , even woman dislike gigantic guys but they still look , the XM is the same to me it's a sick car to me BMW hasn't missed at all with any cars except the BMW E46 hatchback , i will never ever dislike any BMW , i just personally disliked that you Tomi got a M8 which i felt is fine but they only look good in 2 door and even the gran coupe of it isn't a cool family car the coupe back just makes it a really crappy family car same with any BMW X car that is a Coupé like i would never get a X6 because it's a gigantic inconvenience whereas the X5 is better in every single way people only buy Coupé versions of cars because they think it looks sportier when in reality it's a lamer version
Are you seriously comparing the BMW XM to the Urus and saying it doesn't match up in terms of "interior luxury"? Do you realize the Urus is twice the price? For used models, it can be up to three times more expensive because Lamborghinis hold their value better. So, of course, it’s more luxurious, but the BMW XM is still plenty luxurious for a daily driver. Plus, you can configure it with individual options to better meet your expectations.
Not in the uk. You can get an urus for the same price as the XM. Also, that is the exact car this car was positioned to compete with. So yeah I’m serious.
I think we live in an era where most cars are heavier than their predecessors. Regulation, tech and hybrid requirements just mean that we will probably see this happen to all cars going forward. Consider that the new m4 is significantly heaver than the car before it. It's unfortunate but it's something we will have to live with I fear...
@@tomi-auto Hi, thanks for your reply, really appreciate it as I enjoy your posts, trouble is as you know, going fast round corners is fun, but that’s when 2.77 tons is going try and show you the nearest field lol, I just don’t see it as progress, the opposite in fact.

The biggest problem with the XM is the X5 M exists. Which I think looks better and is lighter and faster
I think it depends how you look at it… It’s the same way that the GLE63 exists, yet the slower and more expensive G Wagon is the flagship
they should've tucked the rear wiper other than that I don't mind the design tbh.
I agree, although it looks very different, I think it actually looks good in person
@@tomi-auto I hated it when they released it. Then I saw it that same colour, I was surprised that I actually liked it and felt I could actually buy it.
Had an Xm as my company car, Such a grear car.
I also had the ix60 the acceleration on that was another level.
You won in life and you beat the matrix,i'm working on it,keep it up,don't let anyone stop you,soldier!!
The car charges in e-control mode. But it charges fast only upto 80% then it’s slow and mostly holds the charge

Tomi getting so much at taking us through these cars, keep it up
I had a weekend with an XM50e - the car is incredible. I’d skip the V8.
Drive the XM Label. It’s a beast compared to the base and you will then definitely want one.
15:09 TRUEEE I never thought about that. But for me it would be a watermelon rather than a basketball
Loving the consistent content my brother 👌
Keep up the good work
I love this car so much
It is interesting how they integrated the rear window, almost looks like a body panel with how flush the glass sits with the body.
The Badges on the top corners are a design nod to the original M1, fyi.
Noticed that you already got an editor :)

Agreed. The hate was so much that I thought it would be the worst thing in the world. But it is actually surprisingly great.
Out of the XM, X7, X6 and X5 which is the fastest?
Nice video Tomi
Out of all the BMW X models, I would have the X7 M60i or the XB7.
Love the Lewis Hamilton t-shirt I have the same
I think people hate it to justify why they cant afford it but it looks better than the urus, and i say that because i just saw both of them right now in your vid.
isnt the x6mc supposed to be a competitor to the urus?
Hi, it’s charging on e- control, have it, test it ;) you can charge to full …
I love the car as well, but what is funny is that people say all the bad things about the car yet the sales on the car are going very well
Cayenne(s) is (are) on Touareg platform.

WAY more space.
I wouldn’t fully consider this a g wagon competitor since the g wagon was originally built to be a luxurious off roader which means some comprises were made, but the XM might not do as well of road as the g wagon but will do better on road.

You dont know why a M car has the BMW badges on the sides of top rear end? You never saw a M1? What kind of petrolhead are you?!! 😅
Wouldn’t pay 100k for that. It’s not in that money league to warrant spending 166k
Interior seems worse than an m4 for over half the price.
