Elite 2024 BMW
One option, the reviewed black-red pattern, further individualizes the vehicle. It has a distinctive threedimensional headliner. The trim for the body pillars have black surfaces. Upper sections of the backrests and head restraints are diamond-shaped in red.
Red contrasting stitching is also used on the driver and front passenger and outer rear seats, instrument panel, center console, door trim and air vents. An “XM” badge below the control display and an interior trim strip carbon fiber in satin effect with red and blue accents further distinguish the limited edition.
As a top-line performance SUV, BMW has loaded up the Label
Red with safety features. Standard equipment includes six-piston, fixedcalliper brakes at the front and singlepiston and floating-calliper units on the rear wheels. Two pedal feel settings and an adaptive suspension with controlled damper and active roll stabilization are featured.
The BMW XM Label Red also features a host of driving assistance — front collision warning, lane departure and evasion assistance, active cruise control and parking assistant.
Multifunction seats, knee pads, a curved display panel, head-up display, a sports-styled selector lever and control panel are positioned on a center console. The M Hybrid button selects desired different driving modes. A setup button provides direct access to the configuration of the powertrain, chassis, steering, braking system and M xDrive.
The leather steering wheel has trim elements in black chrome. Plus M buttons, gearshift paddles with carbon inlays with and a boost mode symbol on the left-hand shift paddle are all in red.
Nothing about the limited edition is subtle. A Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system with 1,475watt amplifier and four additional speakers in the roof area is a $3,400 option. Further technology: a cloud-based BMW Maps navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a personalized BMW ID functionality.
The new beast is expensive, $191,895 as reviewed. It’s another all-toofamiliar BMW trait.
