BMW i5 M60: The Future of Autobahn Cruising

Can BMW go electric and still stay true to its roots? The i5 M60 answers that with a silent scream down the Autobahn. Dual motors, M-level performance, and that signature handling feel, all without a drop of petrol.

BMW’s M division continues but this time following on within the electric era and they didn’t come quietly. The BMW i5 M60 xDrive is more than just a zero-emissions luxury sedan. It’s a full-blown performance car, purpose-built for autobahn speeds, weekend blasts, and everyday confidence.
This isn’t your average EV. Underneath its refined body is a 601 horsepower dual-motor system that delivers instant torque and seamless acceleration launching the i5 M60 from 0–62 mph in 3.8 seconds. It’s all-wheel drive, electronically governed, and fitted with adaptive M suspension and rear-axle steering to deliver the kind of responsiveness you’d expect from the M badge.

Inside, it’s clean, digital, and unmistakably BMW. You’ll find the BMW Curved Display, iDrive 8.5, and enough connectivity to rival a tech start-up. But it’s not sterile. The drive modes including “Sport Boost” injects some serious emotion into what could’ve been just another luxury EV. This is what the future of M performance looks like: fast, silent, composed but still proudly aggressive.

The i5 M60 surprised us. Not just with how fast it is, but how it still feels like a BMW, confident, precise, and serious about driving. EVs aren’t the future anymore they’re the present, and this one’s ready or does it actually take away some of the unapologetic rawness we know and love from BMW without the powerful and beautiful BMW M sounds we are used to hearing.
