The 2023 XM looks controversial with just about any paint we can imagine, but part of the reason it’s so striking is not related to its design or the main body color. Gold accents rarely work on a car, and we’re not so sure the boldly styled plug-in hybrid SUV is a good fit. Thankfully,…

We’ve always felt like the M340i Touring hits the sweet spot in BMW’s vast range since it can pretty much deliver it all: performance, comfort, luxury, technology, and practicality.
