It was not meant to be a successor to the M1. If it was meant to be that, they would have built a supercar. They built a car where they thought they had a gap in the line-up which is a top of the range sporty luxury practical SUV to compete with something like the G Wagon. I think they successfully accomplished that. I’ve had it for 2 weeks now and it’s got a lot of attention, most positive. It’s not perfect and not including an air suspension was a big miss but it’s exactly the car I wanted from BMW. It’s almost as luxurious as a 7 series and my XM label with a 0-60mph of around 3.2s is quicker than almost every BMW M car in the range. Drive the Label and then tell me what you think!
Thanks for sharing! I'd love to have a go in the Label at some point, although for me it's not extra power that it needed. And I know it's not meant as an actual successor to the M1, but they did put the two BMW roundels in the rear glass to specifically symbolize there's some kind of connection between these two cars. I liked the XM overall, but since I'm not so extroverted, and I don't like the attention this brings, I'd go for a black X5M instead.
@@OneTireFire The Label doesn’t just have additional power. BMW have tuned the suspension and the transition between electric/gas power trains. It’s just overall a much more refined drive. I get the point with the looks. It’s definitely an extroverts car for sure.

@@warrenber Oh, I didn't know the suspension tuning made it feel so different. I am more intrigued now after reading this.
