LOL. Cars aren’t rational my man. I already own an X5. I don’t fit in rari’s or 911’s and hate the way they look…speaking of irrational, i HATED the XM until it grew on me…and voila, here I am…blessed to make stupid car decisions…

Unless you expect that infatuation to last, 36 months is a long time to be stuck with something very polarizing to say the least. You could be in a 12 or 24 month Cayenne lease instead, for example, assuming a Taycan doesn’t fit you.
Either way it’s a free country and no one’s going to stop you. Not aware of any XM data points on the forum so you’d be the guinea pig or pioneer whichever way you look at it. GL.

When a car payment is $50.00 more than my mortgage payment. Amazing what car payments are these days

Depending on where you live and when you bought your house, the 200K sticker price on the XM may be more than you paid for your house.
Are we really pretending to rationalize a lease on a 190K car? There’s no world that doesn’t feature bright red noses on everyone where you’re going to talk an XM shopper into a one of the many soap bar shaped cars being given away for tHe FuNdAmEntAlS.
Just get the best deal possible and roll with it if that’s what you want.

There are only 500 Label Red’s being made by BMW worldwide. I don’t think it makes sense to compare a normal mortgage payment against a lease on a car that will likely sell fewer units than a McLaren Artura (also a PHEV). The Label Red is meant to rival exotic cars.

Just passed by bmw Manhattan- they have one on the floor - boy it’s ugly
The suprise was the 760 sedan - seats are so soft and the sound system is nice - bet the ride is sublime
Audi Manhattan had the Rs3 and 3 R8’s lined up
Benz Manhattan had 4 EQ’s lined up
Best experience as far as feeling welcomed was BMW followed by Mercedes
Audi had some mean mugging Eastern European guys working the sales floor
Looks like i learn something new today. You think were gonna see loaner deals on these units? 
You’re in luck… here’s a couple loaner/demo Label red. No previous owner. Over 5k miles. Maybe you or @li8625 will get 30% off?

that light grey is beautiful, thats a nice looking suv. Gotta convince my wife to sell the house to get one of these lol
@sal88 , so this pic to your wife… look at how cool the lighting is and how comfy the seats are. Who needs a house when you have this? (yes, this is sarcasm… but the interior is pretty nice)

I have a 760i Loaner right now. It’s ehhh. I like the X7 m60i better. It’s too luxurious on the Lux vs Sport scale imo.

Even at 15% off, at 190k MSRP, it’s hard to understand why a XM instead of say a X7 Alpina.

Exactly my thought - alpina is nice at $2k/mo
