The first-ever BMW XM luxury SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) can be booked from 20 October 2022 onwards as announced by BMW Malaysia.

With an estimated price that starts from RM820,000, BMW's latest M flagship car marks the next generation of BMW M vehicles in conjunction with BMW M's 50th anniversary this year. There's a lot of hype surrounding this car and we won't be surprised if there's a high demand for it here in the country.

BMW XM features the M Hybrid drive system

According to Hans de Visser, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, "We are beyond thrilled to introduce the First-Ever BMW XM to Malaysia. This exclusive Sports Activity Vehicle is the first-ever BMW M GmbH high-performing car to feature an M HYBRID drive system, thus extending the realm of e-mobility within the high-performance car segment in Malaysia. It is an electrifying reinvention of automotive ideals and the extreme performance characteristics will make every drive a luxurious experience for our Malaysian customers and supporters." 

"Our team at BMW Group Malaysia was truly touched by the enthusiastic support from our massive BMW M community at the recent ///M event on Malaysia Day. The overwhelming excitement and love, coupled with the debut of the First-Ever BMW XM at the end of BMW M GmbH’s anniversary year, makes this announcement particularly well-timed," added Hans.
