What does BMW XM Design say?
The first thing about his car is that it is a very handsome-looking car with very interesting bold and muscular characters that are coming out seamlessly and giving it an astounding touch.
With BMW DNA, the aggressiveness and sharpness are clearly making it a head-turner. In my opinion, BMW won't even need to about the power figures of this car because the design and the body lang is doing that job without any hesitation.
The face of this car is having usual BMW affairs but with new style and charm, accompanied by a bold signature BMW grille which is getting bigger and bigger day by day but this time it got some illumination thing as well.
Slick headlamps are powerful and know their job very well, sportier lines on the hood give it a mean look and also help its aerodynamics.
There is a radar for all the ADAS features and a camera for 360 camera view, there is one more camera close to RVM for rain sensing and other features.
