Build Your Own BMW XM

The time has finally come! You can now build your own BMW XM on BMW’s online configurator tool, so I thought I’d have a crack at it and see my ideal spec. Shockingly, there aren’t a whole ton of options for the vehicle. But, I imagine the BMW Individual library is hard at work with some bespoke touches for their more discriminating customers. The important details: the base MSRP is $159,000 before delivery fees.

Even after fully loading it up, only three options or packages added any cost. $2,500 for special leather, $3,400 for a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, and $2,500 for the M Driver’s Package. With less than a 10% increase over the base price, a fully loaded XM lists for $167,400. A true performance bargain, I’m sure. Anyway – here are all the options you can get on the 2023 BMW XM, according to the online configurator.

Exterior Paint for the BMW XM

The paint options for the 2023 BMW XM are Carbon Black Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic, Mineral White Metallic, Marina Bay Blue Metallic, Dravit Grey Metallic, Toronto Red Metallic, and Cape York Green Metallic. These are all no-cost options, and generally, the darker colors look better, in my opinion. But pairing Marina Bay Blue with the gold wheels really brings out the Subaru fan in me. But realistically, I would opt for Carbon Black – it’s a color with great BMW heritage, and it does a great job overall of toning down the BMW XM’s radical looks.

Wheel Choices

Again, no upcharges here. 22-inch Style 922M wheels are available with either performance or high-performance tires. They’re only available in a black/alloy finish. BMW has primarily showcased this SAV with the 23-inch Style 923M wheels, which seem to only be available with performance non-run flats. Normally black/alloy, they are also available in a less subtle shade of Night Gold, which we’ve seen before on the 8 Series and 3 Series. I’d stick with the high-performance 22s and call it a day.
