“The car is noisy due to wind access and this due to construction project failure of the side mirror. Unbelievably disappointing.”
2025 BMW XM: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2025 BMW XM is a light-update year, led by updated Highway Assistant functionality that supports hands-free lane changes on compatible highways. The higher-output Label trim is also renamed Label Red, while the core powertrains and chassis carry over.
About the 2025 BMW XM
1st generation (G09), third model year after the 2023 launch; no major refresh.
BMW positions the XM as a standalone M SUV for shoppers who want extreme performance, plug-in-hybrid electric driving for shorter trips, and a dramatic two-row luxury cabin in one vehicle. BMW’s messaging centers on it being the first dedicated M model since the M1, with bold styling, a lounge-like rear seat area, and serious M chassis hardware. Compared with other high-performance luxury SUVs, the XM’s big differentiator is this mix of electrified V8 power, unmistakable design, and BMW M tuning.
The XM remains a dramatic two-row performance SUV with a plug-in-hybrid twin-turbo V8, AWD, a curved dashboard display, and lounge-style rear seating. The standard XM makes 644 horsepower, while the 738-hp Label Red adds stronger performance and a more visually assertive personality.
