The system now supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and no, there's no subscription fee anymore.

Ahead of the driver is a thick-rimmed multifunction steering wheel and a 12.3-inch digital main instrument display.īMW's iDrive infotainment system is now in its seventh generation, and it appears here via a 12.3-inch touchscreen that you can also control with the rotary dial on the center console. However, I felt a little like I was sitting on the car (in an overstuffed armchair) rather than in it. On the inside, all the materials you sit on or touch feel high-quality, and the driver's seat has good forward and rear visibility. I think it lacks the handsomeness of the original X5, but the Internet already has enough takes on BMW styling and doesn't need another one from me. It's a big vehicle that looks particularly tall on the road. Styling-wise, the X5 xDrive45e is similar to its non-hybrid sibling. The brand has returned to its iconic inline six-cylinder engine configuration under the hood and has doubled the traction battery in capacity, usefully boosting the SUV's electric-only range. Since then, the German automaker replaced the X5 with an all-new model called the X5 xDrive45e. The Label Red will start at over $185,000, and BMW says it will be followed by other special Label models.It's been a while since we spent time with BMW's plug-in hybrid X5. Coming in the summer of 2023 will be the limited-edition XM Label Red, which boosts power to 735 hp and 735 lb-ft and comes with unique paint, wheels, trim and interior upholstery. It will start at $159,995 including a $995 destination charge, making it the most expensive BMW you can buy. The XM will enter production at the end of 2022 in Spartanburg, South Carolina at the same plant that also builds the X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7.
The XM also comes standard with a 48-volt active anti-roll bar setup, rear-wheel steering and adaptive suspension. There's a 4WD Sport mode that sends even more power to the rear wheels for "M-typical" handling, and a 4WD Sand mode can be activated for low-traction surfaces. BMWīMW's rear-biased xDrive all-wheel-drive system provides fully variable torque distribution from both the engine and electric motor to all four wheels, and an electronically controlled rear differential ensures maximum power delivery with minimal understeer and loss of grip. But the XM's real party piece is the headliner, which has a 3D sculpture effect to its Alcantara surface that is augmented by fiber-optic cables featuring 100 LEDs in the border around the roof panel. This leather was created with a unique finishing process that highlights imperfections usually omitted from normal high-end leather interiors, and it'll look a little different in each car. The XM is also available with Vintage Coffee Merino leather on the dashboard and door panels as a combination with the Silverstone or Deep Lagoon main colors. The XM has what BMW calls the M Lounge back seat the three-across bench has recessed cushions, integrated headrests and wrap-around quilted leather panels that extend onto the doors. The larged curved iDrive screen is set into a matte carbon-fiber panel, and there's more carbon and pearl-effect chrome trim throughout. Sadly the XM's interior does away with the three vertical air vents and grab handle on the center console, but it sets itself apart from the X7 with a unique dashboard design and some fascinating details.
