So much for the factory privacy glass. I would actually prefer it this way so when you get it tinted later, it would match perfectly.

Certain countries tint is illegal and can’t be tinted from the factory .

Thanks for sharing. The color is fantastic. Yet the car behind the color is uneventful.

Surely XM is a fantastic car when driving it but it's exterior doesn't really impress neither from luxury or performance standpoint, maybe it's just me.

Well .. at least someone appreciated the color.

TBH I was expecting something a little less... Pedestrian

Is this supposed to be a halo SUV like the G wagon? This doesn’t look as special.

Not sure about tintless glass and colour, but minus glass and colour, the car looks like from the future, it is beautiful and distinguished. The golf at 1:00 looks like a 20-year-old car compared with XM

I hope the redesign X5M will have the powertrain and exclude all exterior elements. Maybe keep the grille.

I think the fender trim needs to match the car color. The black makes the wheel well look enormous.

I have always liked center biased dual exhausts for M cars. I know they are long gone, but my two cents.

Still don’t like split front lamps. Looks like Hyundai or Nissans I see.

Brands need to hang on to iconic design elements. Angel eyes please!!!

130k SUV maybe, but figuring the MSRP plus options plus ADM’s, we’re talking 200k, red label will be even more. Guys, let’s not fool ourselves, this isn’t a 200k car, it’s a hybrid powertrain in a modified X7.

Having that black plastic trim around the wheel wells and so high up on the rear bumper is Toyota Rav4-ish. It has no place on a BMW let alone one with this price tag.

This car will tell a lot of things about the owner. And apart from "I have money", I just cant find any other good things.
For me personally the car is hideous, and owning an G05, I would not drive this car even if I would be paid, not BMW
