  • Let’s get this out of the way. The 2024 BMW i5 M60 is not an electric M5 nor is it trying to be. The M60 instead is an electric take on the M550i formula: Loads of power, loads of luxury, and loads of comfort all with a ristretto shot of athleticism. But is the 5 series formula any good as an EV? If you ignore the low range of the M60 and its rather high as tested price of $93,895, ($84k base) it is a fantastic machine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
    @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet:
    -Dual motor xDrive
    -84.3kWh battery pack
    -593HP and 586 lb-ft of torque (605 lb-ft of torque in Boost mode)
    -0-60 MPH in 3.3 - 3.5 seconds
    -EPA Estimated 256 miles of range
    -10-80% in 30min
    -205kW charging speeds
    -Around 5,100lbs
    Highs:
    +Sharp handling, wild responsive throttle, impressive technology/ambient light integration and refined looks.
    +Impeccable build quality.
    +World class B&W 17 speaker surround sound system
    Lows:
    -The Black M Veganza Alcantara material feels good and visually looks unique though $3,000 extra for leather is a bit extreme.
    -Range is lower than average for the class and with the constant urge to hear Hanz Zimmer’s iconic sounds and use Boost mode, those electrons can deplete fast.
    -Even in the lowest setting, the seats felt a bit too high up for a BMW. (Likely due to battery under the floor)
    8/10
    The I5 M60 is a fun experience once acclimated to its technology, and (personally) it looks gorgeous. Though that range needs to be improved for wider appreciation.

    Thanks for posting this experience. Question where do you get that connector to use a Tesla charging station and do you need to open a Tesla account?

      @@lotterynj All you need to do is get the Tesla app, make an account, put a payment card in the app, and search the map on the app for Tesla supercharges open to non Tesla vehicles. Those have the magic connector built into the charger and instructions will be in the app on how to use it.
