BMW IX M60 - OR BUY THE IX 50? | REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BMW iX M60 represents the pinnacle of BMW's electric SUV offerings, tuned by the M division for enhanced performance. While it boasts impressive acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds) and a more aggressive M Sport aesthetic, the reviewer notes that the differences from the iX 50 are subtle in everyday driving. The M60 offers increased horsepower and torque, with suspension and steering tuned for a sportier feel, though the braking pedal feel is described as stiff and unpredictable. Real-world efficiency is around 2.8 miles per kWh when pushed, with an EPA range of approximately 300 miles. The interior retains the spacious and premium feel of the standard iX, with notable features like the Bowers & Wilkins sound system. Ultimately, the M60 is positioned as a desirable, albeit not strictly necessary, performance variant, with the reviewer personally leaning towards the iX 50 for its better value proposition given the limited opportunities to exploit the M60's full performance in real-world conditions.
