BMW trademarks X8M model name

BMW has filed a trademark application for the X8 M model name.

This could signal that we will be seeing a new top of the line M SUV, or BMW could be filing it for name protection purposes (to reserve the right to use anytime in the future).

As for the regular G09 X8, it's likely to start production in July 2022 with an M45e as the entry level model.

Whether it will be called by the X8M would be interesting to see.

Quote:
the X8 would probably bear BMW's massive grille that has been rampantly used with upcoming models from Bavaria. As an M car, expect blacked-out styling and aggressively-chiseled bumpers and side skirts.

What isn't seen on this rendering, however, is the rumored 750 horsepower (559 kilowatts) that will be produced by X8 M's alleged hybrid powertrain. It's also believed that the X8 M will have a rear-wheel-biased all-wheel drivetrain that can switch to full rear-wheel drive like the BMW M5.

Re: BMW trademarks X8M model name

BMW X8 M Will Be Standalone Model.

Quote:
So the X8 M won’t be a coupe-version of the X7, like the X6 is to the X5. Instead, it’s going to be a completely independent, built-from-the-ground-up M Division product, as ironic as that is.
Quote:
BMW X8 M is going to be its own thing, not based on any pre-existing BMW model

BMW X8 M45e – A Plug-In Hybrid High-Performance SUV.

Quote:
Arriving in 2022, it will have a unique bodystyle and not a coupe-like design that you’d expect to see from even-numbered X models

the priciest car with a BMW roundel on you can buy.

Quote:
The new BMW X8 could be offered in three variants. One of those variants will be a plug-in hybrid high-performance model.
Dubbed BMW X8 M45e, the M Performance SUV uses a similar plug-in hybrid drivetrain as the recently unveiled BMW 745e.
Quote:
the BMW X8 G09 will be built in South Carolina on the same lines as the X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7.

Re: BMW trademarks X8M model name

I seriously dont understand the obsession with these SUV couple's. They are ugly, ungainly and asymmetrical. I see absolutely no reason what so ever to buy them over their SUV counterparts when they are less practical, worse looking and more expensive!

Re: BMW trademarks X8M model name

BMW 'Project Rockstar' Will Be A Hybrid X8 M With 750 HP.

Quote:
Expected to be revealed late next year as a 2022 model, the X8 serves as a sportier, more daringly styled version of the seven-seat X7. Although the X8 was once thought to take coupé-like rear-end design cues from the smaller X6, these first spy shots reveal that it retains a squared-edged roofline – albeit one that appears to be lower than the X7’s.

This suggests that the X8 will retain three rows of seats, either in seven-seat form or with six captain-style chairs offering greater luxury. Neither is confirmed, though.
Quote:
Details of the X8’s technical make-up have yet to be revealed, but the expectation is that it will share its platform and much of the wider mechanicals with the X7. That means a range of six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines with mild-hybrid tech, an eventual plug-in hybrid and a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 523bhp in an X8 M50i.
Quote:
The plug-in hybrid element will also allow BMW to dramatically reduce the car’s fleet average emissions. Expect a CO2 rating of well under 100g/km as a result. What’s not yet clear is if BMW is also planning a conventionally fuelled X8 M to sit alongside it, with reduced power and weight.

Re: BMW trademarks X8M model name

BMW X8 rendered:

Quote:
judging by the spy photos, the X8 will get a "two-story" front optics. The upper part of it in the form of narrow stripes will be located along the edge of the hood, it is likely to be arranged in the size of LED lights or turn signs. The main blocks of headlights are a little lower and rest on the huge "nostrils" of the grille, which will become even larger than the model X7.
