The F90 was a good car, but lacked character. To me BMW M is becoming Audi RS. But all the Germans have lost their heads imo.
I don’t even mind the XM looks but the driving behavior felt terrible to me. In Sport+ it felt jerky, overly aggressive (while not be very quick) and non-linear in its acceleration.

Too odd for the money and I’d take the X5M instead.

Cool Oldie but Goodie

The 2025 M8 Gran Coupe would be my choice over the RS6 or upcoming M5 Sedans or Wagons. Its technology and performance spec has been around for a minute but is a proven commodity. Make mine Isle of Man Green or White. Hopefully can find a leftover in 2026 if it is discontinued or future Spec is strapped with an unnecessary Electric Motor and Battery Ballast.

BMW’s Isle of Man Green is epic and a color I would definitely get on an M car. I’m not one to get flashy colors, but that color is awesome.

Yeah, have a few more years on my lease. Not sure what I want next. But it’s fun to think about it.

Right now it’s another S, RS6 or an Isle of Man Green M car.
