I can smell the depreciation through screen
Yeah, in 2-3 years this will be under 100k lol
@@pwj86772I wouldn't pay more than $50k for that thing lmao
@@pwj86772 In 5-7 years, it will be under 20.
Ukw, It depreciated couple of thousands as I type to finish this comment 😂
@@pwj86772 News update! Local dealer is selling one 6 months in at exactly 106k lol, only 6k miles.
I have really been enjoying these double Topher reviews lately, hope this will become regular thing on this chanel.
same, was abt to say that these two guys make a great combo. I would try and avoid the unnecesary duality that other car review duos like straight pipes and throttle house, i feel like having two people in the car in those reviews dont really add anything as both guys are equally as knowledgable on most things. Point is, if your gonna be a duo, each member needs to bring something unique to the video. In this case it works, Topher i feel is best at conveying how a car drives to the audience and picking up on those small details, which his friend has a lot of the specific knowledge he lacks
@@sshane11-s9i I disagree. If straight pipes and throttle house did not have their duos, then their channels would not have millions of subscribers. Their channels run on the idea of 2 goofy guys making it first and foremost "entertaining" videos, with everything else coming after. Topher has a more serious and mature attitude towards his reviews, with more objectivity and neutrality.
$192,000 is absolutely absurd, my jaw dropped when I heard that number for THIS
Well it’s made for people who want to buy it and write it off as a business expense.
How was your jaw when you looked at the cayenne turbo s, bentayga, urus prices?
@@KAZ109 its a bmw, ur not getting the point
Stop hating,get your money up!!!!!
@@srivatsanadigerthis is EXACTLY why i did 😂
Can't wait for the blue label model.
Then we really won’t be able to afford it 😂
I want one soooo bad. I wish more people appreciated and understood the design
@@blackjack21477 do You actually like it? I mean everybody has different tastes but seriously?
@@blackjack21477 This car is cool but nah I'd much rather have a 911 turbo for the same money
@@blackjack21477Its unique and cool. Just got mine
I had one of these wake me up at 4:00 am because of how loud it was while ripping down the street, looks so bad but sounds crazy for what it is
It’s fun just going to Starbucks as a crackling XM owner😅🙋🏼♂️
Saw one of these in person - looks even worse in person than it does in pictures. To quote Throttle House, "at first this seems like a huge waste of money. No but - it is."
I like how they look
The biggest mistake BMW has ever made.
The result of modern BMW’s endless pursuit to become modern Mercedes 2.0. The BMW we know and love is dead.
@@Grizz31 I can appreciate a car with bad engineering but good looks, or good engineering but bad looks. Seeing as this car has neither good looks nor good engineering, I'm not quite sure what there's left not to dislike.
One of the best cars in the world right now, saw one love it, BMW is absolutely nailing it at the moment but yh ofc theres always haters haha but what they gonna do? Right, nothing in the end
@@albert_zweistein7196the glaze is insane
LOL, the blurred out speedometer but you can still see the headsup display. cracked me up
came here to say this haha. I lol'd way too hard
Best looking suv and baddest
Tbh I love the looks of the XM, always had. It's one of the bold designs that I really love. Unfortunately, on paper I would be the perfect person for an M2, and it's the one model I find ugly... Can't spend this much on a car and hate looking at it
Me and you both
Forgot to blur-out the heads-up display LOL! Great video!
XM base and the label red are entirely different cars. People who can't even afford to lease this car don't even know, yet they're jealous and dislike it. Honestly, those who drive these kinds of cars are the ones who don't care about what others say.
Spot on. The guy who can actually afford this isn’t watching TH-cam videos about it, he’s going to experience it in real life.
I 100% agree guys. This is a showcase car from bmw and M. Then You know that this is not the time to be safe, and maybe a little boring. You have to take some risk and be bold and Try to stand out with a different design language. I think thatBMWM have done an Amazing job. Have seen it with so many specs and different color. Dont think it look best with all black to be honest . This car is build to stand out and need the gold accents and gold wheels in my opinion. Any way beauty is in the
Eyes of the beholder they say. ❤❤❤💪💪🔥🔥👏👏
@@jr1885Correct. We are. It’s a good life.
People criticizing this car, when it's because of those same people who buy SUVs that BMW created that car. They complain that it's not a two-door super sports car and mention Mercedes with its AMG One, but the AMG One is limited production and only for Europe, plus it's only for millionaires who buy those cars to have them as collectibles. The XM is for those who buy high-performance SUVs such as the Urus which Lamborghini's best-selling car, there are also Aston Martin and Ferrari that also thanks to the success of this market that Porsche started have cars that people disown but are a sales success. So those who criticize the reason for the existence of this car and why there are no longer any real coupes for most people blame it on the SUV craze that you yourselves have grown to this point.
Definition-Sepia is a reddish-brown color, named after the rich brown pigment derived from the ink sac of the common cuttlefish Sepia. Odd choice of words by BMW
the oil painting sepia comment had me dying *edit. this whole video was hilarious
I love this car in all honesty. I truly hope to have one someday. I have a 2016 X1 right now and i want to get the XM. I love this thing. Personally.
3:57 Sums up everytime I look at this thing LMAO, it's fast as hell tho
If only I had $190K to spend! I agree with BMW constant refinements. My 2023 X3M has many small improvements over a 2020. Better ride even. Biggest surprise is 25 highway MPG vs 22!
25 MPG in 2023🤡
@@username8644in a suv that will outrun 80 percent of normal traffic
@@waynerhea6649 In a straight line only.
@@username8644 please let me know when you find a car with 500 horsepower that has better.
@@devynyates1929 Here's a better idea. You don't need a 7000lb bloated huge absolutely hideous suv that makes 500hp. That's how you get better than 25mpg. Most people don't even need an SUV to begin with.
If Gucci made a car is a good way to put it lol
Is topherdrives your pupil ?
Who designed this?
Can you still put gas in the car with no charge??
Oh ya
What camera are you recording these povs on
This video does no justice for this suv this car it’s amazing I drove it last week and I never really care about cars but this one here was different is just the type of car that makes you research about it and just a perfect car for anybody with money cuz it ain’t cheap but is worth it I have driven cars worth 300k-400k and this one it’s just different
one think to note, you blur the speedo, but the heads-up display still be snitching on you!
I know this is a completely different vehicle, but which do you think is a better hybrid system? This or a C8 ERay?
I have only heard muted praise for the ERay, since the hybrid only does torque fill and only connects to the front axle. I think the XM is more versatile with PHEV capability and AWD electric.
Make sure you blur the heads up display as well… lol
Still waiting for silverado 2500 zr2 off-road video…!
13:48 blurred out the center gage speedometer but not the HUD 😂
LMFAO 🤣
Controversial ‼️‼️ I actually like how it looks
The air vents look like they were plasti-dipped red and pulled out of a 90's ricer.. lol
I see a lot of XMs since I live in Munich and BMW test drivers or employees are on the roads quite often with these and every time I encounter one of these at night I think an overweight pig is charging me because of the light up "grille".
Forgot to blur the HUD speedo :)
interior looks good, can't say the same for the atrocious exterior though. It sounds nice but does look sluggish
It definitely stands out lol, its hard to ignore when you see one
@@pwj86772that’s what I love about it. Our roads a filled with a sea of boring SUV’s, and then here comes the XM to start a conversation. You can love it or hate it, but it’s going to start a conversation 😂
are you Growling Sidewinder? You two sound alike :)
Было бы заебись если монитор сделали еще уже, а то слишком высок)
Grats to BMW on fixing this. I bet this wasn’t easy to develop. One thing is I WISH they could fix their crashy suspension. Just suck it up and buy GM’s magnaride and call it a day.
They’re offering crazy lease deals in Maryland. I’m assuming no one is buying them, but I am seeing lease for as little as 1100 a month. Even though people talk shit about this cars design that price is very tempting
he blurred the speed on the dash, but u can still see his speed on the heads up display 😂🤣
If you’re after a fast BMW luxury SUV. The Alpine XB7, X7 M60i, and X5M are all better options.
You cannot go to work full electric with others. And you do not have the torque of the electric neither. Some cities will exclude non electric cars from city center. This car is also looking like no others. If you want to be bad ass take it black. And we just heard it’s in the video. The sound is way better than the X6M or X5M.
X5M has such a small, basic back seat, and no PHEV. And now that the X5M crosses $150k sticker…
XM isn’t much more for SO much more boutique of a Ute, and the PHEV combo boost. It’s the next step up, if you can deal with the unique-ness and a better deal then real world.
Why do all BMWs have the CSL styled side mirrors now? Actually hilarious because everyone would make fun of you if you threw on CSL mirros on a non CSL car prior to 2021. Its like putting an M badge on a 318i. This really shows how the new BMW buyers are not pre existing BMW owners but new buyers.
They're adding more M bits to the M-lite models like the M340i and X2 M35i, because it's what buyers want. Not saying it's the right move, but it helps the cars look cooler.
@@myemailiscool Even proper M cars never had the CSL mirrors man. What they are doing is a disgrace.
for those 10sec or less....IM FREE :)
it would be a good movie car imo
These will depreciate like a brick
give ya 45 k for it woner if you record on the camer in the front showing
I dont get it. I mean is it just the engine setup that makes this so expensive because the interior doesnt exactly scream 'super luxury' compared to other luxury SUVs. Would rather go a lower model and spend some money having someone modify the looks inside and out. That roof would really annoy me. But that's a personal issue.
I saw one of these in person and literally pointed and laughed like I was at some kind of freak show. Truly revolting
I've always thought these look straight out of Cyberpunk 2077
There was one at the dealer when I got my car. It’s like the South Park edition x7 just stupid looking
Still X3 M40i sounds better to me :)
give it 3 years it’ll be worth 65k 🤭
Not even a 2020 X5/6m is 65k. I get the intention behind the comment but come on man
This is not a car for the average person. It’s leading edge and requires someone with vision who like setting trends. It’s designed for visionaries.
agreed. its for people who set trends not follow them.
Naah, it's more for gaudy rappers.
@@toth.42 good for them for working to make the money to afford it. Most just bathe in the jealousy.
@@warrenber sure! The car is still tacky asf
@@toth.42 Lucky for all of us it’s in the eyes of the beholder. I for one think that 95% of the USA is boring asf. That goes for cars, clothing, house design, furniture, shoes, food, travel and the list goes on. Nothing against the 95% but that’s just my impression. This is a car for the 5% and i don’t know a single owner who is a “rapper” type.
*cough* Blur the HUD *cough* 😆
too cheap, the price in the Netherlands is 230,000 euro.
Depreciates by 50% as soon as you drive it out of the dealership lol
Find me one I'll buy it.
@@zoner__ It's a figure of speech and even if it depreciated that much, you still wouldn't be able to afford it ;)
@@Y_hass what do you know? Don’t assume. I can walk into any BMW dealer and buy all the cars on their lot for cash. Besides, that’s not a “figure of speech”. Lol
@@zoner__ Nice, another multi-millionaire on the net
Cool looking interior 👌
for almost 200 grand i feel like there are so many cheaper and better options
The XM is biggest mistake BMW has ever made.
The XM is the result of modern BMW’s endless pursuit to become modern Mercedes 2.0. The BMW we know and love is dead. There’s no going back to greatness now.
I think BMW is stuck and can't expand anywhere else. They used to make practical, fun-to-drive cars at a premium. But when every Honda sedan has nicely tuned suspension and "adequate" power, and even Toyota and Hyundai have cracked the code to fun practical cars, BMW has to go for higher margin customers. Those customers want serene cars with no road feedback, or bragging rights for lap times. I worry "fun to drive" isn't a big enough market for BMW, so they just pay lip service to driving enthusiasts while going for the money.
ill pick one of these up at 100 k
There is absolutely no demand for this car. I see about 10 just sitting on my dealers online site being advertised.
I just can't see a use case for buying this car unless you have disposable income. A normal X5 M60i or X7 easily undercuts this XM
Yeah, it's like BMW was gunning for Urus or Bentley customers but forgot they don't play in the same prestige bracket. The whole point of M-cars is having some practicality with performance, and the price of the XM is very impractical when compared to an X5M or X7 M-series. Once you're spending excessively, why not get the most prestigious car?
You in your X5 or X7 look fantastic sitting in the traffic with all the soccer moms. People are sheep by nature.
it's so fast, it's so cool, it's so beautiful, but it's especially so expensive
It's the rich man's toy 😅😅
Beautiful? Oh lord…. Beauty is really in the eye of beholder. 😭😂
@@v8_sami dont worry, I know the i7 M70 looks way better, but this is still a masterpiece ! If you can't appreciate this design, it's because you haven't looked at it enough ! maybe consider going at a dealership to see it in person one day, you'll see, it's very different than it looks on the screen !
@@achaz_ Bruh if you have to look at a car's design for ages for it to grow on you it's not a good design. I see this thing a lot since I live in Munich and it looks crap even after the 100th time I've seen it lol.
@@alpenjodel24 then we have different tastes, pleas stop being negative it's annoying, you can just say you don't like it
You forgot to blur the HUD 😆
Cool! I really like the Label Red (also uhm FiRsT)
Almost 200k for a BMW is a robbery
It deserves more.
I've seen three of these so far in CO, 2 of which were driven by 60+ year olds lol
They don’t call them Old fools for no reason 😂
BMW thinks we are idiots . They increased the horse power on a X 5 and added a red color to the trim and we are supposed to pay $95K more ?
Looks hideous but that sound. Damn.
Way too many common interior parts and buttons with a x5 and X7.
If they made a smaller and cheaper version of this car 😮💨 I’d be out getting it
X5M essentially minus the hybrid part. Same engine.
@@DevelDogg48 oh… 🫣 it needs a hybrid no electric
The iX should have that nose.
Where's the "bling"? In the back, it looks like yet another generic BMW SUV. Pillows aren't bling, just fancy.
Edit: I mean on the inside.
This thing is just ugly snd looks like something you need at a construction site.
Put it next to a Range Rover and you’ll understand what sophisticated design means.
Anyway, it’ll be THE thing for those clients who urgently need an ego booster - not understanding that they buy an embarrassing statement of bad taste, that cries (together with its owner) “LOOK AT ME! NEED YOUR ATTENTION!” - how wretched!
I know everyone will have their own opinion, but this car seems tacky to me. Nothing elegant whatsoever about it. I'm sure its faster than any car I own, but I just don't care.
I actually feel Bad for BMW, they're cars we're actually good looking, now they are regrettable, i mean people can Buy whatever they want with their money... Its just My personal opinión. I know more than one Will agree with me. Im disgusted and Dissapointed.
Are they related I sound stupid
"It's quite good" and turns off the camera. I guess you can't be too critical, huh? As a long time BMW fan, as an owner of an E46 M3, as someone who even likes the new G series for what it is... there's no getting around what a ridiculous product this is. It's a massive dilution of the M brand, and a stain on what it's supposed to represent. It's a tacky status symbol, with M pillows and a designer bag. Call it for what it is. I think it's disingenuous to do "impressions" like this, if you're not going to be analytical or honest about it.
And the CSL side mirrors on a non CSL car. Bmw has been putting them on all their M cars now.
Tophs major complaint and long rant about the name of the color being wrong just prove he's getting old.👴 😞
❤❤❤❤❤❤190
Guys, are you serious?! You dont like the original XM only because the engine isnt as strong as the label red XM?! It is a luxury SUV, not a race wagon for the track. Besides you cant drive like you drove in the video on the streets. Only because it has another engine, you like it now.. weird
it looks like crap
one of the ugliest cars ever made
The welfare comment section is hilarious.. if you cant afford kick rocks.. .

I might drive it for free if I'm in the mood to ride a hog
Only broke people (financially and mentally broke people ) who are complaining about this car 🤝.
