BMW IX M60 DRIVING REVIEW - VIBRATING LAUNCH CONTROL IN FRONT OF TESLA GIGA

EV Channels Review

The BMW iX M60 is presented as the ultimate performance electric SUV, boasting significant power upgrades over the standard iX. The review highlights its impressive acceleration, particularly the "shaking" launch control feature, and a top speed unlocked to 250 km/h. While the M60 shares much of its exterior and interior design with the regular iX, it features distinct "Titan Bronze" accents and larger wheels. The reviewer praises the comfortable and luxurious animal-free interior materials, the spaciousness, and the advanced features like the electrochromatic roof and camera cleaning function. However, criticisms are leveled at the infotainment system (iDrive 8), which is deemed more complicated than its predecessor, and the polarizing design of the front grille. The steering feel is described as somewhat artificial, though the stiffened air suspension and rear-axle steering provide excellent handling for its size and weight. Real-world range is estimated around 400-550 km depending on conditions. Ultimately, the M60 is positioned as a high-priced, high-performance luxury choice for those prioritizing power and driving dynamics over infotainment simplicity, though the iX3 is suggested as a better value proposition for general use.
