I can't wait for the Chinese cars (and I am including those with Western brands like Volvo, Polestar, MG, etc) to start imposing sensible pricing on the market. It's sickening that my M2 will be over $80K out the door (with taxes and a couple of port installed options). Still a bargain vs a $100K M4

If you come to BP often you’d know this number reflects currentl X2 ending production earlier this year—NOT for lack of interest from buyers. U10 X2 launch is 10/10.

A mild recession, if it occurs, will (we hope) bring equilibrium on demand vs supply as companies will be trying to keep financial scorecard positive - let’s hope for consumer benefit.
Just the other day, I went to pickup a dishwasher booster that had gone 40% price up everywhere online and b&m - in 9 months or so, crazy times. |

They’re overpriced and look too Japanese

[QUOTE=Bimmerfun82;30550048]While I agree with you about the design, some people need or want a BEV. Maybe it draws them to the brand. But more than likely it’s a conversion from X5 repeat buyers… hard to prove my theory
I would say you’re right, but I would never own a ev . Glad to see it’s not gonna be a long lived design. I think it’s discontinuing 2026. |

Yeah the XM is a real head scratcher. No sunroof is weird and the interior is like the X5 mostly...

New front end is terrible. New I-Drive with no actual buttons for AC, terrible. New dash with IPad like screen, distasteful. No air suspension. No acoustic glass...and more. |

They could’ve simply added the new headliner detail, some of the other fancy finishing bits, & a full hybrid M variant/option to the LCI X5M and then have be done with it. Would’ve saved so much money-time-effort on the production of the XM… |

Why is the LCI a big reason? The new X5 looks fine and the interior is impeccably well built. Is it my favorite exterior, no...but it's pretty good.

Agree, looks like absolute shit. Interior is a bit odd but well built, gotta hand it to BMW on the quality front though.

My M2 has the basics (i.e. no Carbon package or seats, no M Driver's Pacakge). The M HAS, M spoiler and the very, very high taxes in my state put me over $80K.

So it makes sense this car sits on the lots. Ugly and expensive, the worst kind of combo. IX looks way nicer in comparison. BUT BMW is doing ok, growing in a poor year with high rates. Good on them, enjoy the US and EUrope market while it lasts.
