Yahoo Autos Watch This Gigantic BMW XM Prototype Tackle the Nürburgring
Like it or not, BMW is putting its polarizing Concept XM into production. The plug-in hybrid SUV, which the brand says will be the heaviest car it ever makes, is the first M-exclusive vehicle since the legendary mid-engine M1 supercar. Here it is testing on the Nürburgring for the first time.
The Autoevolution YouTube channel caught this camouflaged XM prototype sailing around the Green Hell during a recent industry test pool day. While we can't see much of the final design, those gigantic kidney grilles are tough to miss. Out back we can see the quad exhaust pipes that are stacked vertically, another signature design cue from the concept.
