2026 BMW XM review

BMW XM: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review

9.3/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 BMW XM sits near the top of its class. Roomy second row and flexible cargo floor; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $160,000, it costs more than most direct rivals.

★★★★☆Nadia H. · San Antonio, TX · 11 months owned
Solid, with a few quirks

Twelve thousand miles in. Nothing has gone wrong, dealer service has been easy, and the cargo room still impresses passengers.

★★★★★Carlos F. · Charlotte, NC · 32 months owned
Good, not perfect

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

★★★★★Victor N. · Charlotte, NC · 27 months owned
Good, not perfect

Replaced an older BMW with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
