The production version of the XM is going to be less aggressive and wacky in its design than the Concept XM, but it hasn’t been pared back nearly enough for us to consider it a looker. Thankfully, we shouldn’t have to stare at the SUV for too long - a twin-turbo V8 with hybrid assistance is expected to produce 750 horsepower in the range-topping model, which means BMW’s ugliest and most powerful production car (so far) will disappear into the distance with ease.
We expect to see the production XM revealed by BMW very soon, possibly before the end of the year,
