A prototype for the production version of BMW’s Concept XM<\/a> has been spotted again, confirming that the two vehicles will be very similar in design.<\/p>\n

The XM is a new flagship SUV closely related to the X7, with the wheelbase common to both models. And as indicated by the name, the XM is a dedicated BMW M model, the first since the M1 launched more than four decades ago. The XM will arrive later this year to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of BMW M<\/a>, meaning we should see it arrive as a 2023 model.<\/p>\n

There’s still a lot of camouflage gear but we can already make out the shape of the grille. You’ll also notice that there’s a thin strip of lights at the leading edge of the hood, just like on the concept, but instead of the concept’s roof-mounted lights the production XM features its secondary lights lower down the front fascia. This new split-headlight design will be shared with BMW’s redesigned 7-Series<\/a> and updated X7<\/a> due about the same time as the XM.<\/p>\n
