Garish SUVs wrapped in velvet and sequins are the new black, if this BMW XM is to be believed!
The regular BMW XM is already a head-turning beast, being a powerful plug-in hybrid with a front end that’s hard to forget.
But BMW has now gone one step further with its unmistakable, 748 hp PHEV by letting supermodel Naomi Campbell act as the inspiration for this one-off ‘Mystique Allure’ special edition that’s positively dripping in bling.
It has been unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, of course, with Campbell herself enthusing: “Witnessing BMW's vision for the BMW XM Mystique Allure come to life has been truly incredible. I feel deeply honoured to have sparked the inspiration for their first-ever high-fashion show car, which stands as a unique masterpiece in every aspect.”
The XM Mystique Allure is finished in Campbell’s favourite colour, with rich velvet and metallic sequins providing a lustrous matte finish. It’s probably not a vehicle you’d want to drive through a muddy puddle…
The purple velvet theme continues in the exterior, where you’re also met with exclusive driving sounds created by the musical legend Hans Zimmer - the German composer who provided the score to movies like Gladiator, Dune and Interstellar.
Speaking about the cabin, a BMW spokesperson adds: “The iridescent surfaces were created with precise handcraftsmanship and a fine eye for detail. They take their cues from the eye-catching geometric forms of the BMW XM and bring a special visual richness to the car’s extrovert aesthetic. The design of the BMW XM Mystique Allure provides a meeting point for high performance and haute couture, and paints a unique picture of progressive luxury that continues into the interior. All of the surfaces inside the car, including the M Lounge in the rear, are covered in purple velvet.”
We’ve got a very special offer on the BMW XM right now (writing as of May 16th 2024), with lease prices beginning at £753 per month*.
