BMW Malaysia announces bookings for RM 1.4 mil moon-sized 2023 BMW XM 01

The 2023 BMW XM might shock the world with its pair of kidney snouts grilles when it was unveiled in September but it represents the electrified future of BMW’s coveted ///M Division.

If you dig the controversial styling, BMW Malaysia has just announced that bookings are open for the first dedicated BMW M model since the M1. Prices for the mammoth plug-in hybrid (PHEV) SUV start from RM 1.4 million or RM 820k if you were to purchase it in tax-free Langkawi.

It’s probably cheaper than a ticket ride to Mars or developing a despicable machine to bring down the Moon but this is an absolute beast in both weight and looks.

At 2,710 kg, it’s heavier than a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and helping to move this planet-sized SUV is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine (489 PS/650 Nm) that is supplemented by an electric motor (197 PS/280 Nm). Combined, the BMW XM makes 653 PS/800 Nm.

The excessively massive BMW XM is only available in limited units and for a million ringgit, would you want to take a stab at the first dedicated electrified M model?
