The Pro / Cons list is very balanced between both cars. If there were a PHEV X7, I would prefer it over the XM. The XM is just not special enough for this price.

What nobody talks about is the potential of the S68 in combination with the electric powertrain. So for me, a young 2nd hand XM with upgraded turbos and the ability to drive silent a few KM, is still a charming idea.
There’s no doing upgraded turbos on the s68 unless it has forged internals coming from the s63. Would love to know if this new v8 has changed that or still kept them the same weak rods from s63tu4 carried over from f90.
