Here's why BMW M's next standalone car is an SUV, not a coupe:
in 2022, the XM will stand out with a love-it-or-hate-it exterior design that seemingly won't change much as it transitions from the show floor to the showroom floor. Living up to its positioning as the range-topping M model will require a significant amount of power, and it sounds like BMW will deliver. Power will come from a gasoline-electricHere again, van Meel pointed out that the drivetrain is closer to M's heritage than it might initially seem.
"In our 50-year heritage, we've always looked at racing and series-production cars to see where each one is going and what they can learn from each other. We're continuing this with the XM: it has a V8-electric plug-in hybrid system and [into the LMDh prototype category] also has a V8-hybrid drivetrain. You can see that when it works for racing, it also works for the high-performance cars.
Some purists will argue that a coupe with a mid-mounted engine would have been more fitting. Blame the buyers, in this case.
