![]() ![]() BMW hasn't confirmed how many are coming stateside, yet we look forward to quite a few of them considering the US' love for SUVs, including fugly ones like the XM. It's not known how many examples will be produced for the current model year, but we do know that the Label Red is limited to 500 units worldwide. The charging system supports up to 7.4 kW, meaning 4 hours and 15 minutes for a complete charge from 0% to 100%. Maybe a tractor trailer weigh station could? Jokes aside, the XM is this heavy due to its fairly large battery pack. The XM is so heavy that Performance Eurowerks' corner weight scales couldn't handle the German utility vehicle's mammoth tonnage. Tipping the scales at 6,063 pounds (2,750 kilograms), the X7's more controversial sibling is rocking a near-perfect weight distribution (49.1% front and 50.9% rear). Priced at $159,900, excluding taxes and extras, the V8-powered XM is manufactured exclusively in South Carolina at BMW Plant Spartanburg in Greer. The red-painted XM in the clip below is the standard V8 rather than the aforementioned Label Red, with the latter due to arrive at US dealers in the coming fall. There's also a higher performance tier available under the Label Red moniker, which puts out a simply ridiculous 738 horsepower and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Nm). The only configurator for the XM lists 644 horsepower at 5,400 revolutions per minute and 590 pound-feet (800 Nm) on full song. Even if the loss is more like 10 percent, one cannot escape the fact that the XM is more powerful and torquier than advertised. Said estimates come from IND Distribution, a BMW M parts specialist from Illinois. Pictured at Performance Eurowerks in Illinois, the luxury-oriented model lays down a whopping 614.84 horsepower at 6,500 revolutions per minute and 569.14 pound-feet (771.65 Nm) of torque at only 2,400 revolutions per minute.Īssuming a 20 percent loss, the crankshaft figures would be 768 horsepower and 712 pound-feet or 965 Nm (including electric drive). The XM in the featured clip is the full-fat V8, though, and it's pretty darn impressive on the dyno. ![]() Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

Shared with the M760e, said powertrain leaves much to be desired in this hulking sport utility vehicle with a snouty front end.

BMW also offers a straight-six engine under the 50e moniker, but somewhat curious of a full-blooded M, the 3.0-liter powerplant is codenamed B58. The plug-in part of the powertrain consists of a 25.7- kWh battery pack and an electric motor, which is neatly integrated into the ZF-supplied transmission. A twin-turbo V8 developed from the internal combustion-only S63, the 4.4-liter mill is joined by an eight-speed automatic transmission. What makes it a bonafide M? For starters, the S68 engine.
