# 2024-2025 BMW i5 M60 xDrive The BMW i5 M60 xDrive is the high-performance electric variant of BMW's mid-size 5 Series sedan, delivering 593 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time around 3.7 seconds. Reviewers praise its engaging driving dynamics, sharp handling, and surprisingly sporty character for a 5,000+ pound EV, though some criticize its firm ride and heavy curb weight. The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system offers impressive grip and acceleration. With approximately 240-270 miles of EPA range, it's best suited for affluent buyers seeking a luxurious, tech-laden executive sedan with M-level performance for daily driving and spirited weekend runs. It competes directly with the Mercedes EQE AMG and Porsche Taycan. The i5 M60 is particularly appealing to traditional BMW enthusiasts transitioning to electric vehicles who don't want to sacrifice driving enjoyment.
The BMW i5 M60 xDrive has minimal routine maintenance costs due to its electric powertrain (no oil changes, fewer brake replacements). However, expect premium insurance rates due to high MSRP ($85K+), expensive specialized repairs, and costly battery replacement after warranty. Tire wear accelerates from substantial weight and performance capabilities. Long-term reliability data unavailable.
