There is not a single angle that makes this thing look good
The only time a newer bmw looks good is when youre NOT looking at it. Theyve absolutely lost the plot with the 2021 and newer cars
@@Wtrxprs007able because they are making designs to sell well on the Chinese market. Just look at this horrible gypsie gold that Chinese buyers love.
BMW on the magic mushrooms again 😂😂😂
From the kidney grill to the pigs from angry birds...
The successor to the M1 supercar...THE heaviest car on the market
and the ugliest
And ugliest. How do you make the M3 look sexy
Its all for marketing sake. 90% of driving in these will be about driving kids around and do grocery shopping. Buyers who buy these buy it because of name and exclusivity not because of power or how sporty it is. Same rule applies to G class, Bentayga, Cullinan, RR and others, they are never pushed or driven for what they are made but bought as a luxury status.
@@OmgiamsotriggeredWell unlike those cars, this isn't actually all that comfortable to drive. And bmw seems to be more fixed towards the performance marketing rather than the luxury.
BMW woudnt make it 3 tons if they cared about performance that much. They are pushing performance paper numbers, which is what sells the car. How many times u seen G63 amg being pushed to its limits? Its a hot soccer mom vehicle for getgo grocery shopping lmao, this will be no different.@@your-neighbor
BMW Styling department - Do whatever China wants.
The engineers who tuned the suspension and ride must've groaned when the designers put 23' wheels on it.
Saw this car on the road in South Africa 🇿🇦, and I must say, it is imposing, serious presence
Am I the only one shocked at the price of new cars. 1/2 million drive away for an unreliable German that will depreciate at the rate of a Sydney house deposit in 1 year.
Unreliable compared to what?
I haven’t seen an unreliable car in decades.
If u got the money for this u hardly worry about the reliability and depreciation
@@deleted.6743 exactly. we're free to define "reliable" and "unreliable" however we please. this here is the most reliable vehicle in the universe.
Yet some Japanese cars which everyone even hyped shitboxes to death, still getting silly unreliable problems.
BMWs nowadays are more reliable than korean cars and all except two Japanese makers. You also lied on the cost price.
Thorough review as always Paul!
Great review Paul, as always, I appreciate the in depth look, and warts and all in this case.
13:40 $300k and no button or lever to drop the second row from the boot area? 😳This is unforgivable at this price point. An epic own goal if I have ever seen one.
Is it adaptive dampers with coil springs or air suspension I don’t recall Paul specifying?
Good review as always, I have been told the sound system in the IX and it I7 has way more speakers and meant to be way better, be good to do a comparison when the Model 3 Highland Long range drops, it has 17 speakers and is meant to be a step above the old one.
Good review, like the video and car
I love this. Anyone who doesn't understand that this competes with the Bentayga and Urus is missing the point. It's meant to be slightly crazy. It's the Balenciaga bag of cars.
Awesome review! However I have a CAN-AM and seeing you drifting this gives me the chills it will roll over! Well done!
beautiful review
I'm looking for a Hyundai Tucson Highlander Diesel vs. Petrol AWD review, please.
I have seen a number of these around the streets, made me realise I might be the only one facing economic pressure. Seems there are quite a number of people thriving out there and buying these. Other than that it’s a fantastic car, and you did a great job reviewing it Paul. I do wish physical manual temperature nobs would come back on bmw.
They haven’t sold many of these so it’s unusual to even see one. It does look similar to the popular electric ix though.
Both ridiculously expensive and ugly
You sure you’re not seeing the IX?
@@theseb1979at a glance, the ix looks similar to the xm especially the rear design
Thanks for share 🙏🏼✨️🏆
That’s abomination of a BMW and you guys really need to call a spade a spade instead of glossing over stuff just cos they gave you the car for a review 🙄
Totally agree. Car expert needs more opinion and honesty. Otherwise it’s back to Chasing Cars.
Too many reviewers afraid to get blackballed by big carmakers. Thats why i respect channels like Throttle House that refuse to kowtow to carmakers
@@notagain2856 yeah…. They have become the gold standard 👌🏾
You’re a gruff. Maybe he actually likes the car ? Like maybe his opinion just doesn’t match yours? You do know that’s ok right?😅
@@LafemmebearMusic ever tried not being secondhand offended? 🤔
$300,000 is genuinely just too excessive for an suv. And it doesn't even have the most healthy performance suv numbers either.
Trying to figure out whether the Ssangyong Stavic or this is uglier 😂
The fact that it's an M-only vehicle, but it's slower than the X5M that it gets its engine and platform from despite the addition of the hybrid system and the accompanying power boost, is an absolute disgrace to the M badge. That's to say nothing of the frankly hideous exterior styling either, luckily they seem to be selling quite poorly because I am yet to see one outside of a BMW dealership. The lovely interior seems almost wasted on that exterior too.
It's over 300kg heavier because of the plug in hybrid system 😂
Aesthetics wise is clear that is focused to sell well in other markets like China
No one's watching your podcast without Paul! 😂
Hey Paul.. when are you gonna review the new full size range rover?
Very unique look
This is probably the best review I’ve seen on this video. I was already starting to like the front end and love the interior but I now actually like the vehicle and would consider it. Not at the sticker price though! 😂
Nice video review, the car look most powerful
Bring the speedo view on the back straight back!
I agree I like that too
I know one owner who switched the rims out for BMW 21" rims. The ride is still firm but way more comfortable than the original 23" wheels.
the one with the old bmw hub cap right?, I remembered it's way smaller than the plastic capped stylized BMW one
Homer Simpson designed this
I really have to ask, when did gloss black become “piano black”……
The epitome "I'm a moron" vehicle
I love this car, everyime I see it I don't keep my eyes away from it till it disappears. I would like to take it off road so I would like it fitted with 19 or 20 inch tyres and spare wheel on the roof.
Who KW for power?
For BMW fans only.
Hate it or love it, those who afford it will buy it and won’t care what the naysayers say.
This is a statement car.
It's for autobarns, I reckon. What's the point of having that engine if it's off most of the time?
How do I get the water bottle...all the way from Kenya 😂
You don't get that beautiful engine note in an EV.
The pimp my ride touch.
Do a Tesla and XM Sound system review using free youtube music from the library lol
Love the car and looks just can’t believe the price $300k seriously
When did you last see gloves in the glovebox compartment 😅
I am sticking to my 14 yo Toyota corolla
Wise man😅.
Lol ok 👍🏾
It's a tough one but I think that's probably wise.
Legit... ❤
Nice
You know Paul has made it to the Big time when my son at Macca's on the Hume texts me and says, Paul from car expert is here at work with a pair of BMW SUVs.
Ha ha. That’s awesome. Which Maccas was it? We were just filming a video in a pair of new BMWs.
@@CarExpertAus yeah I know. He rarely texts me. One at Sutton Forest.
@@peter6516 Nice one - we stopped there for a coffee and a charge 😁
@@CarExpertAus yeah it's a good spot for a break especially on those long drives. Enjoy the videos. Cheers
Might be worth keeping a gurney on site mate ;p
It does look much better in person because it is big so the styling does fit proportions nicely
They've built this thing for people who love a drink, as he casually just mentions that 😂😂
I gather Chris Bangle didn't do this one?? Or is it one of his apprentices that have taken over???
I was all set to buy one until I found out it only does 34 km an hour in reverse. Such a shame.
This car design is hilarious. Will the next version come with headlights? It's like a toy straight out of China lol.
Good 👍
As nice as it sounds I have to say a Holden 6L V8 with an aftermarket aftermarket exhaust still sounds better, maybe I’m just biased.
No 1 series M sport review😢
No mention of economy?? I'd hate to have to pay for fuel for this thing - BUT for those that can afford one wouldn't really care about the price of fuel I guess - OR those 23" tyres lol
I think you’d find a Cayenne GT would be usefully quicker and would absolutely smoke it when you get to a corner and I the a Bentayga W12 would give it a run for it’s money in a straight line and probably not disgraced in the corners given it’s more luxury orientated truck. Bottom line I personally think it’s been left in the oven too long and the are better solutions to sports/luxury super SUV’s out there.. plus it’s super fugly.
Great review…. BUT i cannot take this car seriously- can’t believe this is from my beloved BMW 😢. I think this should be sold in one market only, please spare us!
Nice forward thinking design but the price should be 200k max
Can we have Mercedes EQA and EQB and Tesla model 3 reviews please
Working on the Model 3!
@@CarExpertAus thanks
I saw one of these in the dealership the other day and it just looked sinister in black. I cannot understand why anyone would buy one and spending that much , I don't think they would be thinking of economy because it's a hybrid. Just does not make sense. You can be sure that nobody will let you into traffic.
Embarrassing price point, if you told the average punter you spent $300k on a BMW SUV they would laugh. I don’t hate the styling from an SUV point of view but that’s not turning heads in the wild and its value will half in a couple of years. I don’t get it but people must buy them so what do I know.
I love BMW and I don’t get this vehicle. A bmw x5 M comp is faster both in a straight line and on track… for half the price. And it’s not like someone will tell you cheaped out for having an x5 M comp. Yeah just confused by this move.
22" wheels won't transform the XM from uncomfortable to comfortable. If it is trying to attract the extroverted fashion forward among us then the ride should be comfortable. If XM is made for gear heads then don't give us Harry Styles styling.
300k with this interior?? omg
looks like an LDV
Not liking the look of the front & the wheels.....but i could live inside that machine 🤔
5'3 energy
Love it now my IX is no longer the ugliest BMW made
That would be nice
There is not a single angle that makes this thing look bad.
After six months, it will break down
It's kinda like lady gaga stands out in a normal crowd
Very 'nouveau riche'. BMW have lost the plot.
I hate the double headlight look
Like it's chuckiness. But too many unnecessary angles in body panels. Gold trimmings are out right ugly. BMW can only play catch up with it's current interior design. Even some Asian makes looks nicer inside
Nau, ill wait for the $ 300 000 Everest.
Just as we're all encouraged to be more eco friendly , bmw releases an incredibly heavy tank that says stuff the environment ... We want to make more money 🤬🤬🤬
Hate them 😢
An x5 m comp is faster… both in a straight line and on a track… I just don’t understand. But I love BMW and will Stan them forever but I’d just get the x5 m comp for half the price? Which at no point will someone say I cheaped out 😅
When we talk about M suv, it’s just about M car feeling SUV. Or I would say a family car for M car driver. No one will take a X5/6M to track, I never saw it on track, so I believe it make no sense to compare track performance between M SUV’s. XM is just a perfectly balanced M Suv solution. It feels like a M on road, good interior style, good V8 sound and good pure electric range.
@@seattle0099 I’ve driven them, the x5 m comp is literally… LITERALLY a second and a half faster and rides much smoother because for some odd reasons the XM doesn’t have air suspension? Yeah I stand by what I said. Get an x5 m comp or hell get an x5 m60i that’s like perfect and STILL FASTER THAN THIS?!😅 makes no sense.
@@seattle0099 I saw them on track very often at sanoma raceway here in Cali just because something isn’t your experience doesn’t mean it never happens. Please chill a little with the hyperbolic blanket statements
@@LafemmebearMusic as you’ve compared which is faster in straight or track, my point is when you compare the performance, why not simply get a proper M car instead of SUV. The M SUV is just a balance of performance and life, so that’s reason why I see X5m has no advantage over XM. I know someone takes X5m to track as well, but does it really make any sense if X5m is 2 seconds faster than XM? The buyer of XM owner could be either no track needs or has separate track car.
@@seattle0099 sure ok 👍🏾
Um, hideous, really hate the direction of BMW's styling at the moment.
👀❤
Only an owner could love the looks of that. Hideous.
Near 3 ton ............
this is the most ridiculous car but by saying that once i have a spare $$$ i'll get it for my wife
Purple, gold, black, no thanks ,Is this meant for the rich asian market ? , middle eastern customer base ? this doesn't look German .
Looks dated already
Even the new Toyota Prius got better design than this Piggywagen....
The price is a joke for an extremely unreliable car.
That’s not the point. Also BMW is not top ten reliability brand… really go check, they have actually really gotten their act together. Last 7 years they have steadily moved up the reliability level. But just a reminder you buy an expensive car , it has expensive parts to repair. Even my Lexus while it’s very reliable, the brakes are still 1100 like, yeah that’s maintenance cost not reliability costs, I just hope we understand the difference ✌🏾☺️
@@LafemmebearMusic still a shit car.
BMW M and Porsche are the most reliable ones on race track nowadays. Most BMW M cars reliability are rock solid.
???? A car costs almost a house nowadays.....
For a tenth of the price, you get a panoramic sunroof and the same car wash view on a GWM Jolion Ultra...just saying..
If i brought a car for 300 thousand i would want it to have lips 👄 near the bottom of the steering wheel for very boring days.
Nah I rather have a M5 Touring!
I just don't understand how these cars are making it into production. It's hideously ugly.
I rather have the Bentley Bentayga. If around same price in Australia
I am here to support you CarExpert, I no longer watch any BMW Media, and this is the embodiment of BMWs deathwish and everything that's wrong with humanity.
Human, … chill 😅✌🏾
Love the review guys..... as much I love BMWs........ this is by far the worst BMW to ever be produced..... it's JUST LOOKS UGLYYYYYY
That XM is an abomination. I don’t know what’s happening to Bmw’ designs lately. After being a bmw owner all my life, and an X-series owner of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations, I’m leaning to Mercedes for my next replacement.
I am the first here, thanks Paul.
Welcome!
My fellow Zimbabwean
Chibaba, how are you@@WayneMadzimure

Tis putting the Sports in Sports Utility Vehicle or Some Ugly Vehicle

They are clearly chasing Chinese money
