The 2024 BMW XM Label Red Is the Most Powerful Production BMW Ever With 738 HP-November 2024

BMW’s flagship M performance vehicle is now an SUV, and while that may rankle more than a few people’s cankles, it’s just the world we live in. and offering up a pretty wild interior that marks a huge deviation from BMW’s typically spartan cockpits. Things are about to get even cooler still, according to an announcement made by BMW on Tuesday, with the introduction of the even higher-performance XM Label Red.

Label Red (not to be confused with ) will be the highest-powered BMW ever offered to the public with a staggering 738 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque provided by its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and hybrid system. Munich claims this is good for a 3.7-second 0-60 time, and if you opt for the M Driver’s Package, you’ll get a top speed of 175 mph.

Set to make its global public debut at Auto Shanghai later this month, the XM Label Red’s performance increases seem to come exclusively from tweaks to the internal combustion engine, which makes sense given that it’s a whole lot easier to turn the boost up a little than it is to rework an entire hybrid drivetrain system.

Other than the performance increase, the Label Red gets some aesthetic changes, such as optional red accents on the exterior (rather than the standard vehicle’s black trim) and access to some new colors, including 50 BMW Individual colors, at no extra charge. BMW Individual is where all the good colors live anyway, so this is pretty cool.

The BMW XM Label Red is set to enter production in August at BMW’s Spartanburg, South Carolina plant. While the company is keeping tight-lipped about pricing for now, it promises to spill the tea closer to the start of production. Given that the regular XM starts at around $150,000, we’d expect the Label Red version to be a lot more.

For $7,500, Would You Flash The Plastic For This 1970 Citroën Méhari?
Can you think of any car more elemental than a Citroën Deux Chevaux? Well, today’s Méhari is a 2CV stripped of all pretensions, and you’ll now have to decide if its price should have someone paying that stripper. Yesterday’s was priced at a modest $2,500, and needed what the seller...

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody Still Wants To Kill You
Dodge has a problem. The hilarious 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat is entering its fourth model year, and pretty much everybody who’s willing to spend $70,000 on one has one. And the 2018 Dodge Demon has stolen all the hype. The solution? , baby. That’ll teach you to say muscle cars can’t...

You might hear the described “like riding a rollercoaster.” And it is, kind of. So imagine yourself on a 10-second carnival ride, holding a bomb with a 12-second timer, you’ll start to understand the sensation of firing this 840-horsepower fiend down a drag strip. It doesn’t matter if you believe...

For $2,500, Could This 1981 Mazda RX7 Make You Go Hmmm?
Just like mama bear in the Goldilocks tale, today’s RX7 is just right—old enough to be a classic, but not too old to be a pain in the ass to drive. Let’s see if its price is fair to middling too. As was pointed out in the comments on yesterday’s...
