The 2025 BMW XM Kith Concept isn’t your everyday hybrid—it’s a high-performance rhapsody in purple, dressed to impress at Art Basel Miami Beach. While the event showcased Ronnie Fieg’s meticulously restored 1981 BMW M1 E26, the XM Kith Concept stole the spotlight with its dazzling fusion of heritage and future tech.
With its bespoke BMW Individual Frozen Techno Violet metallic finish, this one-off creation is a love letter to exclusivity. Purple isn’t just a color here; it’s a statement. From the animated side accent strips glowing in purple LEDs to the purple-contoured Iconic Glow grille, every detail screams “look at me”—even in the dimmest of settings.
Inside, the XM Kith Concept transforms its cabin into a designer loft on wheels. Embossed Kith monograms cover every soft surface, from the bucket seats to the rear lounge. The control display flaunts special widgets reminding you (as if you could forget) that you’re piloting a Kith-stamped masterpiece.
What about performance? Well, the XM Concept doesn’t just look fast—it’s been lowered and widened, nodding to its M1 inspiration. But this isn’t just for show; it’s a rolling showcase of Kith’s signature aesthetics infused into BMW’s first electrified M car.
While Fieg’s personal M1 might evoke nostalgia, the XM Kith Concept is purely forward-looking, lighting up Miami Beach with its audaciously modern vibe. If you’re a fan of purple, performance, or just want to bask in the glow of automotive luxury, this is one concept car worth remembering.
And if you’re wondering, no, you can’t take this one home—it’s not for sale. Purple dreams remain just that, for now.
