EV Channels Review
The BMW i5 M60 represents the pinnacle of the new 5 Series electric lineup, offering blistering performance and a luxurious experience that rivals the larger 7 Series. The reviewer highlights its exceptional build quality, refined interior with cues from the 7 Series, and surprisingly comfortable rear seating despite the battery pack. Driving dynamics are praised for their cohesion, control, and compliance, making it a competent GT car rather than a purely track-focused machine. However, the M60's high price tag and less impressive real-world efficiency (averaging 22 kWh/100km for 370km range) are significant drawbacks. The reviewer suggests the rear-wheel-drive i5 eDrive40 is a more sensible choice for most buyers, offering better value and range. Despite its cost and efficiency concerns, the i5 M60 is lauded as one of the best EVs available, particularly in markets without the Tesla Model S, with its engineering justifying the premium price for those seeking ultimate performance and luxury in an electric sedan.
