Just a few days ago, BMW teased the XM 50e as the flagship SUV’s entry-level trim. At the time, we expected the model to receive the same powertrain as the M760e with a peak output of 563 horsepower and 591 pound-feet of torque. Now we have the official and final numbers and, unfortunately, they aren’t as good as we hoped for initially.
The Bavarian automaker decided not to make a big announcement with a detailed press release for the XM 50e but instead published its specifications on a product page (check the first source link below). And the numbers aren’t exactly impressive, considering the XM is a fully-fledged M model – the output is 469 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. This isn’t bad per se but we were hoping for more power.
