BMW has recently announced that they will introduce a new high-performance SUV called the XM. This has led to speculation about the future of the BMW M1 successor. However, BMW has now explained why they have chosen to focus on the XM rather than developing a new M1.
The XM will be BMW’s first full-size high-performance SUV, designed to compete with the Porsche Cayenne and the Mercedes-Benz GLE. BMW believes there is a growing demand for high-performance SUVs, and the XM will help them tap into this market. The XM will feature a powerful engine, advanced suspension and braking systems, and other performance-focused features, making it a formidable SUV contender.
While BMW has a long history of developing high-performance sports cars, the company believes there is a greater demand for SUVs. The XM will allow BMW to capitalize on this demand while offering a high-performance driving experience. Furthermore, BMW believes that the XM will attract a new segment of customers who may have yet to consider BMW in the past.
Finally, BMW has stated that they have not entirely abandoned the idea of developing an M1 successor. However, the company believes there is a greater need to focus on the SUV segment now. BMW remains committed to developing high-performance sports cars, but the XM will take center stage for now. The XM represents a new chapter for BMW, and the company is excited to see how it will perform in the market.
