Standalone BMW Concept XM Unveiled: Most Powerful M Car Ever

The BMW Concept XM model has debuted at the Art Basel Miami Beach 2021 show. The concept previews BMW M GmbH’s future high-performance X vehicles.

BMW M GmbH presented a radically new, completely reimaged vehicle – the BMW Concept XM – on November 29, 2021, at the dedicated event in Miami.

This XM will have a production version that will be the most powerful M car and the first pure M model from the time of the BMW M1. It will be available with a sole plug-in hybrid powertrain and only in M guise.

The BMW Concept XM represents a new front-end design of future BMWs, progressive exterior styling, an all-new sense of interior space, and next-level luxury.

The M Lounge interior features special materials: velvet upholstery, diamond quilting, leather, and deep pile carpeting. It has visually powerful surfaces in warm brown and deep aquamarine, expressive details, and a combination of indirect and direct ambient lighting.

The visual highlights of the cabin include a headliner with a 3D structure and the brand’s curved display with an M-specific user interface.

The BMW Concept XM’s electric-only range is up to 80 km (WLTP), or 30 miles according to preliminary EPA estimates. BMW newly developed the M Hybrid drive system for the concept. The total output is 737 hp (550 kW) and 1,000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of peak torque from a duo of a V8 engine and a high-performance electric motor.

The BMW XM is primarily intended for the US car market. The series production will begin in late 2022 at the plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
