THE BMW XM portfolio is sharpening its focus now offering just two models.

The BMW XM range-topper is now the only model to come with an electrified V8 engine. The BMW XM 50e which features an electrified six-cylinder engine, remains available unchanged.

The XM M HYBRID system consists of a V8 engine with a peak output of 585hp and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed M Steptronic transmission delivering up to 197hp.

With a system output of 748hp and a combined torque of 1,000 Nm, the BMW XM is the most powerful BMW M production model ever.

It takes 3.8seconds to accelerate from 0 to 60mph and has an electronically limited top speed of more than 150mph with the optional M Driver's Package increases this limit to more than 180mph.

The BMW XM 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 while it has a new Welcome Light Animation.

The charging rate of the BMW XM increases as well with the M HYBRID system's Combined Charging Unit now enabling AC charging at up to 11 kW.
