At the rear, the roof-mounted spoiler keeps the twin-peak design of the concept, though in toned down fashion. The design motif is a nod to the M1's rear, with the concept even sporting a small BMW logo on each of the peaks. Also common with the concept are the stacked exhaust tips on either side of the rear diffuser insert.
We can't see the interior but expect a similar design to the concept here, too. This means screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system will be joined and feature a floating design. The concept featured two individual seats at the rear, though perhaps a three-seat bench option will be offered on the production model.
We know the powertrain will be a plug-in hybrid setup utilizing a twin-turbocharged V-8 as the internal-combustion component. Combined output will be 750 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque, which will make the XM the most powerful BMW road car to date. If the engineers go with BMW's existing plug-in hybrid design, a single electric motor will be sandwiched between the V-8 and transmission.
Though it's yet to be confirmed, a tamer version of the plug-in hybrid setup could be offered in a base XM, with the 750-hp version reserved for something like an XM Competition model.
