BMW has released more details of its much-anticipated BMW XM. The new XM will possess a M Hybrid drive system that delivers an overall system output of 644bhp. It is underpinned by a newly developed V8 engine that features a cross-bank exhaust manifold and an optimised oil separation process.

This allows the BMW XM to sprint from zero to 100km/h in just 4.3 seconds. A sports exhaust system featuring electronically controlled, continuously adjustable flaps and hexagonal dual tailpipes arranged one above the other will make its debut for the first time on a BMW M model.

However, if the standard model does not excite you quite enough, BMW has the XM Label Red available. The XM Label Red will be the most powerful road-legal series-produced car in the history of BMW M. It will produce a total of 738bhp from the hybrid powertrain, with a torque figure of 1,000Nm.  

When it comes to the interior, BMW has promised a generous feeling of space and high-quality materials, which will transform the rear of the BMW XM into an exclusive M Lounge. Heated backrests extending into the sides of the rear compartment and specially designed cushions offer passengers an elevated sense of luxury.

A sculptural headliner will be a highlight in the cabin, with its three-dimensional prism structure, photo mount-style border and 100 LED units for illumination. There will be a choice of four different trims for customising the interior, as well as a new vintage leather for the upper sections of the instrument panel and door panels.

BMW also claims that the chassis of the new XM will boast a dynamic nature similar to that of BMWs which have come before. This is due to the double wishbone front axle and a five-link rear axle with specially tuned kinematic and elastokinematic properties.

The BMW XM will come standard with adaptive M suspension Professional which includes electronically controlled dampers and active roll stabilisation with 48V electric motors and Active Roll Control. It is also the first BMW M model to feature Integral Active Steering, also part of standard specification.
