THE 750BHP BMW Concept XM Revealed – PHOTOS & VIDEOS!

The XM is a high-riding, V8-powered, plug-in–hybrid crossover with a jaw-dropping 750 hp (551 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) on tap. Better yet, this wild concept previews a production version destined to debut in 2022, likely for the 2023 model year.

The XM can theoretically drive up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) on battery power alone with help from the newly developed M Hybrid drive system. BMW isn’t mentioning specifics like engine displacement, battery size, or straight-line speed, but you can imagine it gets to 60 in well under four seconds.

Style-wise, the Concept XM looks unlike any BMW we’ve seen, highlighted by two huge kidney grille pieces on the front end. These are among the largest kidney grilles on a BMW to date, concept or not. The oversized grille frames feature illuminated surrounds that give it a unique presence at night, with slim LED headlights split into two separate modules living on either side.

Massive 14-spoke, 23-inch wheels adorn each corner – again, the biggest on any BMW – while triangular quad-exhaust tips line the rear bumper. The ultra-slim LED taillights to extend out from the edge of the trunk lid and onto the rear fenders, while the rear glass features a unique wedge-shaped design that sees two BMW roundels etched into each corner of the glass – a subtle callback to the M1’s pair of badges on its flying buttresses.
