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

The 2022 Subaru BRZ Addresses The First Gen's Fatal Flaw
If you ask armchair enthusiasts what the worst thing is about the first-generation BRZ/86, most of them will tell you it’s horsepower — either the peak number of 205, or the infamous . But BRZ and 86 owners, who regularly take their cars to the track, will tell you...

Even My Nose Knows The New Supra Isn't A Real Toyota
I’m pretty sure the car community got bored with the whole debate over not being a real Supra or a real Toyota a while ago. But since I was busy doing other things at the time such as attending meetings and filling out spreadsheets, I wasn’t really able to...

At $5,200, Would You Go For Baroque In This 1982 Maserati Quattroporte?
Classic luxury motoring doesn’t get much classier than today’s Maserati Quattroporte. Some minor repairs are all that is needed to make this big sedan a serious contender. That is if the cost of entry isn’t too high. If someone ever gives you a task and then attempts to impress...

At $7,800, Could This 1993 Lexus SC400 Be A Coupe To Covet?
Most of the classified ads offering Lexus SCs tout the model’s Supra heritage since those are so hot right now. The ad for today’s SC400 is a notable exception to that practice. Let’s see if the price is equally notable. I think it’s pretty safe to say that the...

Tesla Isn't Technically The Least Reliable Car Company: Consumer Reports
