If you can do the math, that shows that this compact crossover has had a lot of growth in a few short years, but hasn’t followed the traditional expansion you’d find with small-but-growing cars.

2023 BMW XM Review: Polarizing But Fun
The BMW styling department has likely started more conversations than its team ever considered. The latest polarizing product is the 2023 BMW XM.
