    738 HP (550 kW) BMW XM Label Red Is The Most Powerful BMW Ever Made

    We knew it was coming but now it is official and the BMW XM Label Red takes the title of the most powerful BMW ever made.

    The standard XM offering ‘only’ packs 644 hp (480 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque but the Label Red cranks things up to a whopping 738 hp (550 kW) and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque. The uprated S68 engine works together with an electric motor built into the eight-speed automatic transmission and sends power to the clever xDrive system.

    The improved build-up of power resulting from the pre-gearing stage between the electric motor’s rotor and the transmission’s input shaft means the BMW XM Label Red needs just 3.8 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. Its top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h but rises to 290 km/h on cars with the M Driver’s Package, which will be standard issue on models sold in South Africa.

    Cosmetically you will notice the Label Red thanks to the plethora of Toronto Red accents both outside and in. In addition, the XM badges are also red, and so are the brake calipers.

    The Label Red will be offered with over 50 Individual paints at no extra charge as an alternative to the regular Brooklyn Grey metallic. BMW did specify that only a “small number” of vehicles will be sold with this Frozen Carbon Black matte exterior paint.

    Starting production in August, at the Spartanburg, South Carolina plant, customers should expect to get their uber-powerful BMW XM Label Reds toward the end of this year.

    The BMW XM Label Red has been confirmed in South Africa. Further information will be made available closer to the market introduction.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
