Performance and luxury are two seemingly opposite qualities, yet BMW believes they can coexist in its new model, the BMW XM Label Red. SMC Asia Car Distributors Corp, the official importer and distributor of BMW in the Philippines, said it is the most powerful BMW M model ever created. Combining M Hybrid technology and exclusive design elements, the XM Label Red delivers unmatched performance and a distinctive driving experience.
The design of the BMW XM Label Red is as bold as its performance. Its exterior showcases large, clean surfaces complemented by striking red accents, such as a Toronto Red metallic trim band and model badges. For an even more exclusive appearance, the Label Red features a Frozen Carbon Black metallic paint finish that beautifully contrasts with the red accents on the kidney grille and diffuser. The vehicle is equipped with 22-inch M forged double-spoke wheels, enhancing its aggressive stance. High-gloss black accents on the grille and diffuser, paired with the Toronto Red highlights, create a sophisticated yet powerful look that makes the XM Label Red truly stand out.
Inside, the cabin mirrors the exterior’s exclusive design theme, featuring a black and red color scheme that exudes luxury. The seats are upholstered in premium Merino leather, adorned with red contrast stitching and diamond-shaped sections on the backrests. Red accents on the air vents add a touch of sportiness to the interior. A special plaque situated below the control display highlights the limited-edition nature of the vehicle, reading "1 of 500."
The XM Label Red is equipped with advanced technology designed to enhance driving pleasure and convenience. The BMW Live Cockpit Professional features a widescreen display that presents all essential driving information at a glance, while the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant allows voice control over various vehicle functions. Smartphone integration, wireless charging, and the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System further elevate the luxurious experience inside the cabin.
Driver assistance features include the BMW Driving Assistant Professional, which provides automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and intelligent cruise control with stop-and-go functionality. The Parking Assistant Plus simplifies parking with features such as a reversing assistant, surround view cameras, and a 3D view to help navigate tight spots.
The BMW XM Label Red incorporates the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system, prioritizing rear-wheel dynamics for a sportier driving experience. A selectable 4WD Sand mode enables off-road adventures, while the M Sport differential ensures optimal handling on various surfaces. The vehicle benefits from model-specific chassis tuning and integrated transverse dynamics management, allowing it to adapt to a wide array of driving conditions, from sharp corners to long highway trips. Standard features include adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers, active roll stabilization, and Integral Active Steering. Together, these technologies provide precise handling and a comfortable ride, whether navigating city streets, winding roads, or challenging terrains. The chassis and drivetrain of the XM Label Red are meticulously engineered to offer both exhilarating performance and luxurious comfort.
At the heart of the BMW XM Label Red is the M Hybrid system, which combines a V8 engine with an electric motor to deliver an impressive total output of 753-hp and 1,000-Nm of torque. This marks a significant 95-hp and 200-Nm increase over the standard BMW XM, establishing the Label Red as a true powerhouse. The V8 engine, equipped with BMW's M TwinPower Turbo technology, generates 585-hp and 750-Nm of torque, while the electric motor provides instant thrust through its innovative pre-gearing stage. This electrified powerhouse can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8-seconds, delivering a thrilling driving experience. Despite its high performance, the XM Label Red remains efficient, with a combined fuel consumption of only 1.7 to 1.6 liters per 100 km (WLTP) and CO2 emissions of just 36 g/km. The electric-only range varies between 76- to 82-km, making it ideal for short, emission-free trips.
The BMW XM Label Red is priced at P18,890,000 in the Philippines. Every purchase comes with a five-year factory warranty, along with a BMW Wallbox Charger, which will be installed in the customer's home at no additional cost. With its M Hyrbid system, distinctive design, and advanced technology, the XM Label Red offers a driving experience that is both exhilarating and refined, perfect for those seeking the ultimate in performance and prestige.
