Unfortunately, there probably were just not enough buyers for the vehicle. Enjoy yours! |

Why dont people go after the X7 as well being slower than X5 and X6 on identical drivetrains? Because it's a different class, they shouldnt be compared. Also BMW crippled the XMs ICE on purpose so X5/6M sales wouldn't drop. A fully spec'ed X6M is 20k$ less expensive than an fully spec'ed XM, as opposed to the big difference between a base X6M and base XM.People are too ignorant to observe the fact that the XM comes with every option apart from B&W as standard and they compere base X6M prices to base XM prices which is stupid. Look at stage1 results on the XM, 850hp at the wheel. An X5M or X6M would never be able to go hp for hp with an XM because they lack the extra 200hp from the electric motor |

600 mile road trip, it was a combination of highway, a bit of rural town driving and twisted mountain roads. The thing is, I got the same mpg as I would've gotten with my X6 40d (3L TT diesel). You need to manage the drivetrain, use oce on higbway, and electric in town, and hybrid down mountain to charge the battery

Maybe if they had made it like an X3 in size it would’ve been a huge hit
Not that I would’ve bought one, but I’ve spent quite a few hours behind the wheel and I think it’s a very nice car. I just think it’s too large and expensive

If BMW bring back 6 series and drop xm, I would say the decision makers are having a clear mind. They know how to make money.
The current 8 series is old, they need a big update. 4 series is sportier and more aggressive looking, 6 and 8 series are GTs, elegant and luxury. XM is a big mix up. The logic for XM is one car for everything. Well, M3 is also having this logic, this is not something faulty. But clearly, with the price of a xm, you can have a M2/3/4 + X5. Different car different usage. I do not think a person who can afford xm is hard to find another parking spot. |

Surprised absolutely no one here, seems like logical solution.
Kind of excited to see what 6 will bring to the table. S58 from m4, carbon core + double wishbone from 8 would be great. If new car going to be hybrid I wonder what will happen with manual m4 resale values in a course of 20 years. |

X5d on Fuelly are averaging 24-25mpg, they’d be more like 30 on the highway. My 535d sedan averages 33-35, and sees up to 40mpg on highway trips. The penalty for big heavy bodies is large. |

And people thought BMW made a mistake by not going all in with a dedicated EV platform. |

The XM was a huge disaster in the M division history. It is so unbelievable that they honor the //M 50th anniversary with that garbage. I'm afraid the upcoming M5 with that lake like weight would be the next big failure. Every manufacturer is now shifting their future strategies away from electrification, But BMW has never learnt anything from Mercedes failure and keep relying on EVs! |

Was only a matter of time. That monstrosity should have never made it to production. Very good. A step in the right direction so BMW gets credit for that.
