XM 50e significantly “cheaper”

For example, the latest variant of the XM manages to reduce the starting price by up to 50 grand. The 50th costs 129,989 euros. And the version above, which is just called XM, costs 178,396 euros.

The 476 hp 50e is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder and an electric motor. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and has an electric range of around 80 kilometers with a full battery.

BMW XM and Label Red

The two variants mentioned above, the BMW XM and the XM Label Red, have a 4.4-liter V8 with plug-in hybrid support and produce 653 and 748 hp respectively. BMW charges just over 200,000 euros for the Red label.
