BMW M350 xDrive Spied Uncamouflaged and Poised for Production

Sightings suggest BMW will keep a combustion flagship powered by an upgraded B58 inline-six with 48V mild-hybrid assistance.

Overview

  • Uncamouflaged photos posted from Munich show a production-ready rear with quad exhausts and M Performance aero details, reinforcing reports that the M350 xDrive is close to series production.
  • Published figures from recent coverage put output at about 443 PS and 580 Nm, with power sent through an eight-speed automatic to xDrive all-wheel drive and a 0–100 km/h time of roughly 4.1 seconds.
  • BMW has standardised M Performance hardware on the M350, including adaptive M suspension, an M Sport differential, larger tyres and brakes, plus visual cues such as a deep diffuser and Gurney flap.
  • The car will use the updated B58 3.0-litre turbo inline-six with 48V mild-hybrid support to boost low-end torque, and BMW intends to add software-enabled functions like a 'Drift Moment' via its modern control electronics.
  • Volume production is reported to start in late 2026 at Dingolfing with first U.S. deliveries expected in early 2027, while final WLTP figures, the full ICE line-up and confirmed interior details remain pending.
