BMW IX M60 - NECKBREAKING, BUT DISAPPOINTING

EV Channels Review

The BMW iX M60 is presented as a technological flagship with immense power, boasting 618 horsepower and 1100 Nm of torque, capable of brutal acceleration. However, the review highlights significant disappointment, primarily stemming from its polarizing exterior design, particularly the controversial grille, which the reviewer finds unappealing and unlikely to age well. While the interior is praised for its high-quality materials, advanced technology, and solid engineering, with features like the iDrive controller and crystal accents, the reviewer notes some unexpected 'cheap bits' and questionable design choices, such as the speaker covers. The practicality is questioned due to a smaller boot than competitors and limited rear visibility, despite the car feeling surprisingly agile to drive. Real-world range is a strong point, exceeding 300 miles, which impresses the reviewer. Ultimately, despite its performance and interior quality, the high price point (around £80,000 with options) and divisive styling lead to a verdict that it's an unnecessary large BMW, a niche product that may not justify its cost compared to rivals like the Tesla Model S or Mercedes EQS.
