BMW reveals XM that gets ruined in the rain
Executive Summary
AutoExec Summary
Italian company Alcantara covered a BMW XM luxury SUV entirely in its suede-like fabric, both inside and out, creating a unique and polarizing vehicle. The exterior is covered in Alcantara, while the interior features a two-tone design with M Sport stitching and Italian flag colors. The design also includes a white 3D geometric pattern on the ceiling. This is not the first time BMW has experimented with unique designs on its vehicles, with previous collaborations including a velvet exterior on the XM Mystique Allure. Reports suggest the XM model may not see a second generation, with plans for an electric successor potentially scrapped.
Brands mentioned: BMW, Alcantara, Lexus, Tesla.
