I absolutely love this. In dark colours and the shadowline trim its an absolute beast. This car throws the rule book out of the window and I love it for that.
I have been seeing these on the road, and I will admit they are breathtaking. Especially at night seeing the illuminated grille flying down the road with the v8 sounds, its really really nice
The interesting thing about the car is simple, due to the new regulations in Europe and emission reduction, the manufacturers have to come up with certain things. With this car, BMW has really created a good combination of efficiency, i.e. plug-in hybrid system and V8 performance, and that's the only reason this vehicle exists, we should be grateful that there is another V8 BMW of this magnitude!
Yes it was a great idea to combine both. The perfectly functional silent electrical system and the oldskool V8 fire power. Too bad tax regulations here in Belgium just changed, in a way that all hybrid cars are now taxed a lot higher compared to full EV's.
Especially when you consider that the EU regulations allow higher emissions the more a car weighs and they give no fuck about real world emissions, but the on paper ones where a hybrid with 25kWh battery will be like really close to a BEV (1.5 Liters per 100 Km is the official fuel consumption). Basically this car is officially (according to EU) better in terms of their CO2 regulations than a 118d lol
Got a chance to test drive the XM in April, such an overpriced unnecessary "in your face" car. But unnecessary is fun, that's why I loved driving the XM, quite impressive.
hey, thanks for the video. just got this car and had some questions if you don't mind... 1) how do you get the loud exhaust sound on cold start? mine starts in comfort hybrid (quiet) mode as default. 2) how do you get crackles/burbles to be heard? 3) why did you choose the M1/M2 setup that you chose? 4) do you have to change the mode from road to m sport every time? and why exactly do you do that? Thanks!
First of all, congrats! What an amazing car. Crackles you get with an open exhaust. But it's been a long while since I've tested this car, I really couldn't tell how to do the adjustments.
No, crazy right. Only the fixed 3D design roof and I don't even think a sun roof is on the options list. But then again, the Dark Side doesn't need sun. 😎
It always saves a small amount of energy in order to perform in sport mode. Even when the battery is flat. When the battery is low it starts up the engine and starts charging the battery.
I know... too many cars, not enough editing time. Make sure you go check out tiktok.com/@johnnypovdrives if you like to see some more content of the cars I test!
@@madmax1631 Hi! I really need to start doing full car reviews again :). Engine sound: great, Consumption: worrying, Driving: nervous at some times when manually shifting and an annoying little pause when hitting the throttle, which makes the car suddenly jump forward at low speeds. Interior: superb, Exterior design, not for everyone but in this spec it looks really badass. Overall I liked it, would I pay $150 k or more for it... I'd probably get an M5 or an M3 Touring and an M2 for that budget. ✌
that is a very cool car you have there! but the only problem is when The Obsolesence starts to kick in and pretty much everything starts to break down and then the car is not cool anymore🤣
They did all the damage possible in one lifetime with that disgusting 7 series and the fucking bunny rabbit grills before that. Its like theres an agent from audi working on BMWS design purposefully to fuck them up
Didnt see the point either, but when my new car got it, Iwas quite surprised how relaxing it is on long highway drives and I find myself using it quite often :)
It seems like modern cars are started being like space shuttles. There are so many little details about the car that you will not have time to discover that feature during the ownership of the car. Just wow. So the next 10 years will be producing cars that listens and understands your request in real-time. That will be an engineering challenge but possible.
That is the biggest disappointment BMW has ever made. It’s ugly and classless . Four exhaust tips but only 2 actual exhausts one on each lower side. Pathetic
This BMW XM must be one of the strangest cars I've been driving lately... hope you like the video!
BMW XM is luxury SUV.
it is ✨
I absolutely love this. In dark colours and the shadowline trim its an absolute beast. This car throws the rule book out of the window and I love it for that.
@@PhatTok yeah, it's the badass BMW 🤘😎
Nice review!
💎PERFECT AND AMAZING MASTERPIECE💎
the beast! 🙌

A lot of people hate this car, but I am not one of them
I’m preparing for the “No you’re wrong, and here’s why” comments
Yes, this easily is the most hated BMW I've ever driven. People should first drive it and form their opinion based on that. 😄
I like it also...and I'm not a BMW fan. Nice to see a different type of car once in a while.
@@costibuculei1951 yep, at least it has a face you recognise... even in the dark
well, sales will show!

@@timonxDlol not much we can do I'm afraid... as much as I love any hybrid tech, EV is what we get to drive
Very calm video! As always, keep up the great work!
"This is what you see in your rear view mirrors"
Me in my car: screaming in fear because there is some giant car blinding me from all angles
I never liked the XM before but after watching this video it kinda give me the vibe to buy one 😅
Amazing review, one of the best made videos online for this BMW, good Job!
BMW XM is beautiful sport car, i love it.🚀🚀🔥🔥
It is a beast!
BMW///XM❤️😍🔥⚡💥

😂 I know how you feel! I don't get the car... but I want the car.
That´s pretty much the G63 sensation and exactly what they aim for
@@timonxDlol maybe, but personally I would never pick this over a G63 🥰
Technology is really moving to the next level
it's getting crazier every month
Loved the video Johnny!
Great vid ! 🫶
thanks a lot! 🙏
INCREDIBLE 😨🏴☠️
Nice and funny video. Great work. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
I wish to have this car but I don't have the money to buy it so sad
Neither have I, so we can be sad together 😄

What camera do you use?
GoPro ✌️😄
One of the best models of the brand. I love Germans ❤

First of all, congrats! What an amazing car. Crackles you get with an open exhaust. But it's been a long while since I've tested this car, I really couldn't tell how to do the adjustments.
Wow this car looks super bad ass!!
it does, pure evil on wheels!
lol I love the asmr tapping and stuff. Or whatever the f it’s called. That’s funny. But what a beast of a vehicle. Love it!
I love this car so much
No sunroof?
No, crazy right. Only the fixed 3D design roof and I don't even think a sun roof is on the options list. But then again, the Dark Side doesn't need sun. 😎
How much BHP is lost when the battery is at zero charge?
It always saves a small amount of energy in order to perform in sport mode. Even when the battery is flat. When the battery is low it starts up the engine and starts charging the battery.
Beautiful!!!
Try getting the bmw X5
some day
Ok

Does the kidney grill lights come as standard?
love your videos ❤❤, will you do a review on the mg 4 ???
thanks! Possibly, but I've already done some MG's, so it will take a while before I do the MG4.
Awesome!
Thanks! ✌️

I hope you review model S plaid one day
🤞 me too!
The amount of damage this car did to the "M" brand is a lot more than what the Russians did with the letter "Z".
👌😄

What does the Z mean?
c'est le plus beau suv du monde
that damn middle belts on back seat :D
Fuel consumption?.
Are you happy because this car is the best car is fast it's cool I think this car is one of the best car ever
this car is awesome
I’ve got an XM Label if you want to come to Atlanta GA to test drive the XM’s big brother 😉
This is one of the best BMW cars that the company ever made .
Only brokeyys complain about it.
Johny , can you drive this car so gas and never charge it?
Thank you for translating it into Korean.
I don’t see the point of self driving if you have to keep your hands on the steering wheel
good point. 😂
Didnt see the point either, but when my new car got it, Iwas quite surprised how relaxing it is on long highway drives and I find myself using it quite often :)
Can you order one without the silly logos in the rear window?
I doubt it, they're engraved in the glass
It actually is based on a production model, and that is X5
Dark side of the design 🤮🤢
👌😄 lol
the design is, meh. but the interior and tech is worth it i think
exactly 👌

This is way better than a G class
just take my money
Под капотом скрывается НЕПРИЯТНЫЙ сюрприз. ДВС в 2023г
AM I TRIPING OR IS THAT CAR ELECTRIC😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Partly, there’s a V8 as backup, just in case ✌️😄
We always need more V8 noise in the quiet cuntryside.
It isn't something I hear every week even. As long as it's not all day every day, a V8 passing by is just lovely imo!
İNnsane🎉🎉
What if the battery dies, are you getting only 400 hp from that motor?! I mean a Honda Type R will beat u off the line

dont film with a wide angle lens, you can't see the proportions of anything
My driveway is too small to film normal or tele. 🤷♂️
BMW XM
that is correct!
Yo brother! The new E-Class from MB just came out!! Full of cameras and sensors! It's insane that is better then Maybach!! Can you drive it??
oh man, love your car, but for a car that cost 500000$ in my country, i wish it can tell more than just 1 joke! hahaha!
Really interested🤍
I think the concept looked way better and futuristic. the car now looks kinda generic for some reason
I agree. As is the case with a lot of epic looking concept cars.
@johnnypovdrives I don't understand why they cant just take the concept out🤷♂️ lol
this car is fucking crazy
it is... BMW is doing crazy things lately 👌😄
german car = no joke
Вот мне уже почти 40 ,а ничего😊😊😅😅😮
This car's interior looks exactly like my X5 2.0 230 HP. Not that it's bad, but pretty disappointing considering 3.5x the price.
The X5 just is a very complete and luxurious car. But does your X5 have that roof? I've never seen something like it before
@@johnnypovdrives nope, I really have a cheap spec :D It's nice sure, both in X5 and XM - just saying, looks similar.
@@fadocodecamp yep, a lot of reused stuff and some very special XM stuff, for a BIG premium 💰
Its so ugly that it looks cute,i like it and will buy one very soon if I'm not late to do so.
Is 61.9 kmpl average is real? give your real average
This car has many useless things and is very ugly but the engine sounds so good.
Love your review, in every details. Keep going like that.
Thanks so much! ✨🙏✨
