In 2024, the BMW 5-series gets an electrified powertrain. Does it continue to be the go-to luxury sedan for BMW drivers?
BMW i5 M60 MSRP $84,100.00 Score Details “The i5 M60 isn’t just fast and luxurious, it’s BMW’s best EV.” Pros Cons BMW is far from new to the EV game. The company was actually pretty quick to adopt electrification, and it currently sells a series of EVs, from the SUV-sized iX to the high-performance i7. But now, the 5-series is getting the electric treatment, too — in the form of the new BMW i5.
Design and interior The BMW i5 M60 is a seriously handsome car that perhaps offers everything great about BMW design over the past few years while doing away with the not-so-great. BMW has thankfully resisted the urge to adorn the car with oversized kidney grilles in favor of the more understated grilles that have defined BMW for years. Of course, on the i5 M60, it’s a faux grille — but while these often seem out of place on other EVs, it looks fine here.
The BMW i5 M60 represents the best of what 5-series design can be. Both inside and out, it’s a great-looking car. Like other automakers, BMW has moved climate controls into the screen — which I dislike. It is relatively easy to control temperature through buttons that are always present at the bottom of the screen, but as soon as you want to control more than just temperature, you’ll need to tap the screen more than once. Moreover, the infotainment system isn’t necessarily as responsive as it could be, so occasionally, you’ll tap the display and have to wait for it to react.
On the i5 M60, you’ll get two motors that combine to offer a hefty 593 horsepower — enough to get the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in only 3.7 seconds. It’s not in the top five fastest EVs, but it’s far from slow, and it certainly feels fast when you push the car to its limits.
