Not having any Italian to my name, much of it was lost on me, but I also enjoyed this one that has no commentary:

That's the second half of the special XM video given to dealers when the car was launched. I have a copy, really should bung it on DVD.
It is a two part film which had a strange start with the film crew setting up the second half of the film and asking very staged questions about the car with a representative from Citroen uk answering and showing them the finest points of the XM.
I love the way they pitch it against the other rivals and try to discredit them! :lol:

I also like this video of the launch in 1989. Wish I could understand French a bit better!

This is quite a nice assembly of mostly early V6 footage and the SM and DS also make an appearance near the end!
