I love my i5 m60

I love every single thing about my 2024 i5 m60. It is the best car that I've owned and I've own....well....entirely too many (15 new cars in laat 30 mos alone). I do have a level two charger in the garage, which undoubtedly adds another level of love for this car. But...this car looks great - inside and out. Rides great - in every drive mode. And sounds great - both the multiple iconic sounds options and stereo system. I hope to have this car for a very long time.

As fast as you think....

I've had my i5 M60 for just over a month now and love it. I wasn't necessarily looking for an electric vehicle, rather, just wanted the latest edition of the 5 series M. Very happy with the purchase so far...It's as fast as advertised!!, fun to drive and the interior is luxurious. This is a positive, but, there is more technology in this car than I will ever use! It continues to amaze with what it 'knows' and how it adjusts and reacts. Having said that, you could easily spend a day or 2 (or more) trying to figure out all of the tech features and options, most of which, I will never use. A disclaimer or 2...this is my commuter car (ie: toy), so, range is not an issue for me...i'm typically driving 50 - 75 miles a day (if that). We will likely never take this car on long trips...Further, I did install a level 2 charging outlet in our garage...a small investment, but, in my opinion, a must if you are going to buy and take advantage of an electric vehicle. I rarely use the Electrify America charging stations that BMW provides for 2 years, however, when I have, they have worked well (and quickly).

Three Days in and 100 Love it

So, qualifying i have only had this car three days, and havent even recharged it, i positively love my i40. I drove the i60 and DAMN, it was a rocket. More so than i needed. I traded a gas X5 for this i40, and both have 335 HP. But no comparison at all in the getoff and acceleration—so i felt it was innecessary to get the 60. The electric is just amazing. The cabin in the new 5 is amazing. The tech is amazing. The upgrade to the bowers is only 890.00 over the harmon—its worth it (unlike the bowers in the x5). This car is amazing. The drive is great. The ambient light options are ridic. The steering wheel feels great. The exterior styling is very vanilla—-its the only flaw. Zero regrets. This is bmw number 6 for me over the last 18 years. And by far my favorite. They nailed it on this car. (Carbon black/white interior/21 rims). LOVE.

Because I’m HAPPY…, 08/03/2024

We have had MANY 5 series (ICE)….but this i5 40 M sport pkg. is by far the finest ever. Who says only buy dedicated EV? Germany has integrated a battery into this, possibly the finest vehicle made. Fit and finish are classic BMW. The brakes are superb as is the smoothness of the drive train. Also the reliability of BMW is unmatched. We have owned 6 5 Series over the last 20 years, and can honestly say, not one lick of issues, not one. We cannot say that about the Mercedes Benz that we’ve owned.

Handling is superb, comfort is equally remarkable, instant torque, 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds, great new styling and reasonable range.
