New BMW XM Label options for South Africa.

Munich. Two becomes one: the BMW XM portfolio is sharpening its focus, now offering just one model in South Africa.The BMW XM Label range-topper (WLTP combined (EnVKV): energy consumption 33.7 kWh/100 km and 2.3 l/100 km; fuel consumption with discharged battery: 12.8 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions: 53 g/km; CO₂ class with discharged battery/combined: G/B; maximum electric range 76 km)* is now the only model to come with an electrified V8 engine. 

The BMW XM Label combines immense power and an advanced drive concept. Its M HYBRID system consists of a V8 with a peak output of 430 kW and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission delivering up to 145 kW. With a system output of 550 kW and combined torque of 1,000 Nm, the BMW XM Label is the most powerful BMW M production model ever. It takes just 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h and has an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. The M Driver’s Package increases this limit to 290 km/h, and is standard on all units sold in South Africa. With its exhilarating performance and uncompromisingly extravagant design, the BMW XM Label enjoys maximum exclusivity in the luxury segment. The most powerful BMW of all time sets new standards with its extrovert design while demonstrating why BMW M stands for “The Ultimate Driving Machine”. 

New equipment options, increased charging rate.

The BMW XM Label now offers additional options for customising the exterior and interior. Newly available, for example, is the optional BMW Individual Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic exterior colour, which highlights the model’s unique character. The BMW M kidney grille complete with accent line can be ordered in high-gloss Black. A new Welcome Light Animation makes the BMW XM Label look particularly impressive after dark. A new wheel option comes in the shape of the 23-inch M light alloy wheels style 1096 M in Black. 

BMW Individual Night Blue Merino Leather with exclusive elements is available as a new option for a particularly extravagant interior ambience. Other new colour combinations for the interior of the BMW XM Label include BMW Individual Black Merino leather with exclusive elements and Vintage Coffee Brown interior surfaces as well as BMW Individual Silverstone Merino leather with Black interior surfaces.
