BMW XM Review - What's it like to drive a R3.4million, 2.8 tonne hybrid M car?

BMW certainly raised some eyebrows with the design of the new XM, especially since it is also the first bespoke M car in decades. But beneath that interesting exterior is an absolute tech fest, and a drivetrain unique to BMW. However, many fans of the brand were left asking, how can a 2.8 tonne SUV be a true M car? Well maybe the answer is, does it need to be? The XM offers a thoroughly modern and diverse driving experience, as it can run in full electric, hybrid or bonkers M, max power mode, producing 480kW from the 4.4 litre twin turbo V8, combined with electric assist. In this video, our Joburg correspondent Jacob Moshokoa takes us on a tour of this new behemoth, and tells what it's like to live with this large, rapid and luxurious SUV. 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - First impression 2:05 - Engine 2:25 - Price and rivals 3:20 - Fuel consumption 4:04 - Wheels and brakes 4:30 - M-mode 7:45 - Charging 9:21 - The sound inside the XM 10:56 - Warranty and Maintenance Plan 11:24 - Boot/trunk 12:31 - Interior 16:30 - Rear seats Save 20% on car insurance when you buy online: https://www.budgetinsurance.co.za/cal...
