BMW XM: First of its Kind
The first BMW M original since the BMW M1 – the BMW XM – is an innovative vehicle boasting a
newly developed M HYBRID drive system, an extravagant design, and a progressive luxury ambience,
making it an ideal choice for the diverse terrain and driving conditions in the Gulf and the Middle East.
Brought to Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates by AGMC, the trusted BMW dealer in Dubai and
Sharjah, the BMW XM is set to redefine luxury driving in the Middle East.
The BMW XM is specifically engineered with a 4WD Sand mode, perfect for navigating both on-road
and off-road terrains. It's powered by the M HYBRID drive system that delivers an impressive overall
output of 653 hp, supported by a high-revving V8 engine with state-of-the-art M TwinPower Turbo
technology. The 4.4-litre engine is paired with an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed M
Steptronic transmission, offering a maximum overall torque of 800 Nm.
In terms of performance, the BMW XM impressively sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds,
accompanied by a vibrant soundtrack amplified by unique hexagonal dual tailpipes arranged vertically.
Adding to the auditory experience, the BMW IconicSounds Electric, developed in collaboration with
Hollywood music legend Hans Zimmer, provides a suitable backing track for the electric motor’s power
delivery.
The intelligent interplay between the engine and motor ensures a top-notch performance experience
that lives up to the M badge in all driving situations. The M Hybrid button on the centre console allows
drivers to select one of three operating modes, including an ELECTRIC setting for zero-emission
cruising at speeds of up to 140 km/h and over a maximum distance of 88 km in the WLTP cycle.
The BMW XM also flaunts a one-piece BMW Curved Display, featuring a touch-capable 14.9” Control
Display, providing seamless information and a world of connectivity at the driver's fingertips.
The vehicle’s iconic front design pays tribute to BMW’s luxury heritage with the “Iconic Glow”
illuminated kidney grille. The distinctive shape of the XM is further enhanced by 23” light alloy wheels
and an exclusive accent band in Night Gold. Inside, the standard M multifunction seats and knee pads,
coupled with the generous feeling of space and extravagant design, transform the rear of the BMW
XM into an exclusive M Lounge.
Established in 1976, AGMC has grown to become one of the most important markets for the BMW
Group. This new addition to their portfolio underscores their dedication to bringing the most
innovative vehicles to customers in Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, along with ensuring
