# 2023-2025 BMW XM Label Red The BMW XM Label Red represents the most extreme variant of BMW M's first standalone SUV since the M1. This plug-in hybrid monster combines a twin-turbo 4.4L V8 with electric motors to produce a staggering 738 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque, making it BMW's most powerful production vehicle ever. Reviews have been polarizing. Enthusiasts criticize its controversial styling—particularly the massive kidney grille—and 6,062-pound curb weight, which undermines traditional M Division dynamics. However, its brutal straight-line performance (0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds) impresses. The XM Label Red is infamous for its $185,000+ price tag and representing BMW's divisive design direction. It's best suited for affluent buyers wanting a flashy, high-performance luxury SUV with occasional electric-only capability—prioritizing exclusivity and power over the driving purity BMW M was built upon.
The BMW XM Label Red features a complex plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain requiring specialized BMW maintenance at premium prices. Expect higher-than-average insurance costs due to its $185,000+ price and 738-hp performance. Long-term reliability is unproven given its recent launch and intricate turbo-hybrid system. Brake wear may be reduced due to regenerative braking.
