Honestly, the incessant whining from you crowd. Just looking at a few reviews randomly:
Motor1 – “I appreciate the XM’s powertrain, despite my brief time with it. But I adored the electric power-assisted steering from the first turn. The XM may still be in development, but it already has potentially the best steering of any BMW in over a decade and that’s because it so clearly mimics older BMWs.”
CNET – “BMW says the XM has a perfect 50/50 weight balance, and this SUV’s on-road composure is indeed one of its best attributes. Hard launches, harder stops (thanks, 20-inch steel brakes), throwing it into tight bends — nothing can upset the XM’s balance.”
Top Gear – “How’s the handling?
Pretty astonishing, frankly. 48-volt anti-roll bars keep the high-riding body freakishly flat as the XM is hurled from corner to corner. It’s so good, you wonder if they couldn’t get away with softening the ride off a tad more in a straight line, to keep up the comfort end of the XM’s bargain.”
