The BMW XM Mystique Allure is the first vehicle in the brand's history to be designed using materials from the high fashion industry. This unusual tie-up showcases the BMW XM in a whole new light: expressive, avant-garde – and stylish and luxurious in equal measure. Inspired by Naomi's favourite colour, the vehicle's exterior boasts a deeply saturated ultramarine shade, accentuated by a lustrous matte finish. A contemporary translation of high-fashion materials from luxury textile manufacturers, the design seamlessly brings the inside to the outside, featuring rich velvet and shimmering Frozen metallic sequins casting hues ranging from intense violet to deep ultramarine. The iridescent surfaces were created with precise handcraftsmanship and a fine eye for detail. They take their cues from the eye-catching geometric forms of the BMW XM and bring a special visual richness to the car's extrovert aesthetic. The design of the BMW XM Mystique Allure provides a meeting point for high performance and haute couture, and paints a unique picture of progressive luxury that continues into the interior. All of the surfaces inside the car, including the M Lounge in the rear, are covered in purple velvet. BMW IconicSounds Electric: exclusive driving sound from the collaboration with Hans Zimmer. The bold appearance of the BMW XM Mystique Allure is complemented by an acoustic character also very much its own. At its heart is a bespoke adaptation of the BMW IconicSounds Electric developed as part of the collaboration between BMW Group Sound Design and film score composer Hans Zimmer. The driving track created for the Naomi Campbell-inspired one-off projects the supreme confidence of the car's exterior design onto the soundscape of locally emission-free driving. In the M HYBRID drive system's all-electric operating mode, every movement of the accelerator is accompanied by an emotionally engaging sound that authentically represents the car's outstanding performance and magnetic visual allure. The BMW XM: the most powerful series-produced model from BMW M GmbH. The BMW XM is the first model since the legendary BMW M1 to be conceived solely as a standalone high-performance car from BMW M GmbH. It blends dynamic potency with innovative luxury and an enticingly extravagant design composed of muscular proportions and powerful contours. Two-piece split headlight units, Iconic Glow contour lighting for the BMW kidney grille, accent bands along the sides of the car, light-alloy wheels up to 23 inches in size and the vertically stacked and hexagonally formed pairs of exhaust tailpipes integrated into the rear apron ensure the exterior of the XM has an inimitable visual presence. The BMW XM is also breaking new ground with its M HYBRID system, which has made the XM the first high-performance car from BMW M GmbH to feature an electrified drive system. In BMW XM Label Red form (electric power and petrol consumption – weighted, combined: 33.5 kWh/100 km and 2.0 l/100 km 141.2 mpg imp; CO2 emissions – weighted, combined: 45 g/km (WLTP); fuel consumption with discharged battery: 12.9 l/100 km 21.9 mpg imp as per WLTP; CO2 classes: with discharged battery G; weighted, combined B), the plug-in hybrid model – with its maximum output of 550 kW/748 hp – is also the most powerful series-produced, road-legal car yet produced by BMW M GmbH.
