The 101st running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb concluded recently, with most competitors having a successful day. The weather conditions were favorable, and the course itself was fast. However, BMW was unable to take advantage of these conditions to set a record time.

The German automaker had set its sights on claiming the production SUV record with its high-performance XM Label Red, which is the first M-specific vehicle to come out of Munich since the M1 in 1981. Unfortunately, the BMW crashed during the event, as shown in the Pikes Peak livestream video, but driver Matt Mullins thankfully walked away uninjured.
