2023 BMW XM review
The BMW XM is out to divide opinion – and on that front, it's an overachiever. It's not quite as successful on other fronts.

CarExpert's Take
Scott Collie
Contributor
Scott Collie drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Interior is beautifully presented
- PHEV powertrain packs a punch
- You don't have to pay more for options
Misses
- Rough and ready ride
- PHEV powertrain has a learning curve
- It certainly looks... provocative

Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- The benchmark entry-level sports car
- Turns more heads than a base 911
- Next-gen is electric, so it's a collectable
Misses
- Exhaust note is still uninspiring at 5000rpm
- Storage space in the cabin is tight
- Infotainment hardware is almost a decade old
