A 2023 BMW XM plug-in hybrid, a model renowned for its luxury and performance, has been listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace in Tirur, Kerala. The vehicle, a single-owner model, has clocked just 2,500 kilometers and is registered in Haryana. This nearly new SUV is offered at an eye-catching price of INR 2.45 crore, a significant markdown from its approximate on-road price of INR 3 crore.
The BMW XM stands out with its Black Sapphire color complemented by gold accents. It features 23″ M star-spoke style 923 M Bicolour Night Gold accent wheels and an upscale BMW Individual leather ‘Merino’ interior in Deep Lagoon.
This steep discount has sparked discussions among users. One, hjc1778888, speculates, “They might be selling it cheap due to a quick cash need, after having utilized the car for its tax benefits.” Another user, clay..10, echoes this sentiment, noting that the vehicle has served its purpose for tax deductions and would only depreciate if kept longer.
However, not all feedback is positive. User rva7070 criticizes the design, stating, “Absolutely Hideous, BMW has completely lost it.”
The BMW XM is an exceptional vehicle in BMW’s lineup. As the second car entirely developed by BMW M after the M1 in 1978, it boasts impressive specs: a 4395 cc, V8 Twin-Turbocharged engine paired with a 25.7 kWh Lithium-Ion Battery and an Electric Motor, delivering 653 HP power and 800 Nm torque. It accelerates from 0-100 kmph in 4.3 seconds, reaches a top speed of 270 kmph, and offers an electric range of 88 km. The XM’s efficiency is notable, with a 61 kmpl average and a 69-liter fuel tank, all complemented by a ZF 8HP 8-speed M Steptronic Automatic Transmission.”
