BMW was Art Basel's official partner for event's 2021 edition, where on 29 November BMW unveiled the concept version of the XM at Miami Beach, Florida. [11] Production of the XM started in December 2022 at the BMW US Manufacturing Company plant in Greer, South Carolina, with deliveries commencing in 2023. [12] BMW also entered a gentlemen's agreement with French carmaker Citroën in order to be able to use the name "XM" for its vehicle, since Citroën originally used it for their XM executive car. [13]
Along with its 4.4 L (268.5 cu in) V8, the BMW XM uses an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed automatic gearbox that produces 145 kW (197 PS; 194 hp) and 281 N⋅m (207 lb⋅ft) [14] BMW mentioned that this system is also used in their BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh car. The electric motor is powered by a 25.7 kWh (92.5 MJ) battery, which has an estimated range of 48 km (30 mi) (US EPA) / 88 km (55 mi) (WLTP), and has regenerative braking recharging abilities. [14] The electric battery, charging at its maximum of 7.4 kW, can charge from 0-100% in 4.25 hours.

[9] Power is sent via an 8-speed M Steptronic automatic transmission to the 23" wheels which are fitted with 275/35R23 tires at the front and 315/30R23 at the rear. [14] The XM uses six-piston fixed-caliper brakes in the front, and single-piston floating-caliper brakes in the rear. [15]

[17] It produces 360 kW (489 PS; 483 hp) and 650 N⋅m (480 lb⋅ft), and in combination with the electric motor, produces a total of 480 kW (653 PS; 644 hp) and 800 N⋅m (590 lb⋅ft). [14] This gives the XM a 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) time of 4.1 seconds. [18]
