About BMW XM Label Red
The BMW XM Label Red is the more powerful version of their flagship SUV known as the XM. While the silhouette is more or less similar to its regular counterpart, BMW has made certain cosmetic revisions. For starters, the XM Label Red features red accents on the grille and alloys and red treatment on window lines as well as door panels and diffusers. Meanwhile, the XM moniker is embossed on the red lining of the fender, grille, and tailgate. However, certain elements are carried forward from its regular version like split LED headlamps, sleek and edgy LED Taillamps, fat bumpers, dual exhaust pipes, etc.
Interiors of BMW XM Label Red
Like its exteriors, BMW has also tweaked the interiors of the XM for the Label Red variant. The Label Red XM features a red-black interior theme with premium M-spec leather upholstery. This variant also gets a sports-car style cockpit with various sporty features such as M-spec seats, knee pads, a Heads-up display, a gear knob, and a control panel. Even the steering wheel and paddle shifters of the XM Label Red have M-Spec Red Treatment for a sporty essence. The red stitching is evident on the upholstery of the dashboard as well as the seats. The M-Spec Content is displayed on the Infotainment system of this performance SUV.
About the Powertrain of XM Label Red
The new BMW XM Label Red features a 4.4L S68 Twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a plug-in hybrid system. While its regular model had 644hp and 800nm, the new label red variant boasts a whopping 743hp and 1000nm of combined output.
However, the engine alone churns out 577hp of power and 750nm of torque output which is 94hp and 100nm more than regular XM. On the other hand, the hybrid electric motor belts out 194hp and 279nm of output which is the same as regular XM. The power is channeled to all the wheels via an 8-Speed Automatic Transmission and Xdrive AWD System.
The Performance Timings
The BMW XM is crafted to tackle the undulations on dunes as well as the Asphaltic circumstances. The Sand mode allows this car to tackle the dunes with utmost ease. BMW claims that the XM Label Red can do a 0-100km/h sprint in 3.8 seconds with a restricted top speed of 250km/h. However, the top speed can be increased to 290km/h with an optional M-Driver package. The increment in the top speed of XM Label Red is 11km/h faster than the standard XM with the M-Driver package.
