Recently, the official picture of BMW XM Label Red was released. As a special edition of the BMW XM, the car will be limited to 500 units and will make its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show.
The BMW XM Label Red will have a maximum power output of 748 horsepower (550 kW), making it the most powerful performance model in the BMW M Division. It is expected to start production at the Spartanburg plant in South Carolina in August. Its pre-sale price in overseas markets is about 1.288 million RMB.
Specifically, the new car will be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 4.4T twin-turbocharged V8 engine and an electric motor. The “S68” can produce a maximum power output of 585 horsepower and a maximum torque of 750 N·m after being strengthened and upgraded. Combined with the output of the electric motor, the system has a maximum comprehensive power output of 748 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,000 N·m. The new car will be matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and xDrive full-time four-wheel drive system, and can accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
In terms of appearance, based on the BMW XM, the new car adopts the unique Frozen Carbon Black matte black paint, which can only be selected for a very small number of models, while the other BMW XM Label Red models can choose from 50 other unique paint surfaces.
In addition, the new car still uses a giant double kidney grille, “XM” LOGO on the grille, and red decorative lines on the window outline. The front grille also has an exclusive red badge, with a classic red and black color matching that fully demonstrates the high-performance attributes of “Label Red”.
In terms of interior, under the central control screen, you can see the “1/500” limited edition mark, indicating that the car will be limited to 500 units. In addition, the new car adopts unique dual-tone seats and sectional carbon fiber decorations. There is also a Boost Mode mark on the left shift paddle, which will activate the supercharging mode after starting.
In addition to the BMW XM Label Red, we will also see the debut of the BMW XM 50e at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show. The car will serve as the entry-level model of the BMW XM and is expected to be equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine and an electric motor.
