The BMW XM is not all about power and performance it has a long list of features too!

BMW showered this car with features, you name it, it has that. Being a BMW it has to be driver's oriented but at the same time, it's a chauffeur-driven car as well.

You will get 275/45 R21 at front and 315/40 R21 at rear alloy wheels and ventilated disc brakes are there to stop this monster. 

Let's talk about mileage, although this car is not the right vehicle to discuss about its mileage because the person who is going to buy this is ever going to care about mileage. But just for the sake of information let's do it.
So this car will serve you a jaw-dropping 61.9 (70) kmpl of mileage thanks to its hybrid system without that this kinda mileage is hard to achieve. 

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. 

The sportiness is carried beautifully to the side of the car as well, here you can experience the sloping roof and huge window area which makes the cabin pretty airy and jovial. The rear windows are tinted noticeably which might attract cops in India. 

To complete the overall impact on someone's mind you have to end things with the same vibe that you have created at the very beginning, so to maintain that stylish aura the back of this BMW is crafted in that way. Thin tail lights are there with a quad exhaust setup along with diffuser touches. A very interesting thing has been done by BMW at the back of this car and that is the placement of the logo which is not on the usual site and there are two logos on the left-right corner of the rear windscreen which shows gratitude towards the legendary 1970s BMW M1.

Interior 
The cabin of this car is flooded with amenities and BMW blended sporty elements with lavish touches fabulously. 
The rear seats of the XM will allow you to sink into the unparalleled luxury. Seats give you proper support and a relaxed sitting position. With plenty of room and art piece above you, your journey is going to be remarkable. It won't get rear entertainment screen but you get the points to fix a tablet of yours. 
Being this expensive, it won't come with a massage function and ventilated seats function but then you remember that it is a driver's car, not a chauffeur-driven car. 

At the front, you get all the amenities like massage and ventilation. The dashboard is filled with wow factors including BMW's new gigantic screen which works as an instrument cluster as well as an infotainment system.
