BMW iX M60 - Or Buy the iX 50? | REVIEW

[@bmwblog]

Is the BMW iX M60 worth the price over the iX 50?

[@Omid01]

No unfortunately.

[@moonwalk6404]

I would like the 50 for the extra range but only 200kph is way to slow I need 250 so M60 it is😁

[@gerlincaycoya5462]

Is the iX M60 worth the price over the iX 50? I would say no. That was the exact question I was dealing with being that I’m in the market for a premium electric SUV/SAV. However the numbers don’t add up for me, paying practically $14k more for the M60 only to gain 94 horsepower which goes from 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds VS the iX 50 that does it in 4.4 seconds. That’s practically 1 second and I don’t think that 1 second is worth that $14k more nor do I think that it will be that much noticeably different. Not only that when it comes to EV’s your now compromising the range of the vehicle which is the most important thing to concern yourself with on a day to day basis. So the bottom line is that the only thing that the M60 offers is that it’s fine tuned by the M division with 94hp more and no significant exterior difference. So I placed my order for the 2023 iX 50 that does the 0-60 in about 1 second less than the M60 and I also will have 324 miles of range VS the 288 miles of range on the M60.

M60 also has B&W audio while IX 50 has the Harmon Kardon (good, but not as good). But, I agree IX 50 far better. Wish they had option to get the 20" tires with the sport look that offers more exterior options. Currently, the 20" tires (w 324 miles range) only comes with Shadowline Design. Wish the automakers would permit the option for smaller tires with higher aspects for any design. Can't believe that people with no understanding of tires and aspect ratio are permitting the automakers to push the large low profile tires that have absolutely no advantage over higher profile tires, except for race track setting. Are people buying a SUV for drag racing?

Lets goo. The bmw ix m60. I love this suv so much. Thanks bmw blog

[@dermunchner7713]

this is the question im asking myself each morning ;)

[@bmwblog]

If money no object, iX M60

[@seveneleven2237]

The problem is, if Bowers&wilkins and the glass roof, come as standard on M60 as i have heard, but need to add these for ix50, the price goes up more. The final difference in money will be less between them.

[@andreh.dupuis8475]

cant justify 30k CAD extra from a xdrive 50 to get extra unexploitable performance on canadian roads. I’ll slap on 3 badges and none will see the difference 😂 Fully loaded xdrive50 is the optimal choice for me.

[@bmwblog]

The xDrive50 is plenty for most people. Great car

[@BruceBidinoff]

Like you said; want versus need. I want and need the M60. The extra price over the M50 is a bit of a shocker, but some of the extras included in the M60 helps balance it out. In my opinion.

[@bmwblog]

Fair enough. If money no issue, I would take the M60 also

[@MH-im4oh]

I am getting the M60, Though I really wish the exterior is slightly different (other than just the ‘M’ badge)

[@bmwblog]

What color?

[@MH-im4oh]

@@bmwblog Aventurine Red (?) Also, since it is M60, might as well get the Bronze accent wheels.

[@rhar1044]

Wait until you find out that the powertrains are identical between the 50 and m 60. The "up to" 617hp is only in launch mode. A party trick.

[@dougyt92]

How has the M60 been doing for you? I’m deciding between that and an i5 M60 at the moment

[@MH-im4oh]

@@dougyt92 In my 40 years driving, the iX is the most comfortable and pleasant car I’ve ever driven. Sometimes I wonder if the 50 is enough (and saved $20k); though I’m just a sucker for the ‘M’ batch and the bronze wheel.

[@jorgel2329]

BMW IX is the Best !!

[@jackking5631]

I experienced some really harsh shift stepping on the pedal of ix60 no matter how gentle I pressed. The ix 50 on the other hand gives you the punch without that jerk feeling. One can lease one ix50 now at around 900 a month and 1200 for ix60 now in USA, kind of attempting🎉. I like that 100 extra hp on 60 but that shift feeling really kills the deal. Any owner has any first hand long term experience on ix60？

[@bmwblog]

We will get our M60 long term soon and will take a look at that

[@skfunk4550]

Nice and luxurious for someone, i don't even mind the new design language. For me, my M2 comp is an M car true and true 😍

[@nelsonnyew]

May I know is the air suspension provide more comfort compare x50 coil suspension?

[@bmwblog]

Yes. Def more comfort

[@nelsonnyew]

@@bmwblog thank you very much . there is only air suspension spec on M60 in our country . x40 and x50 is only come in Coil suspension , so i have no choice but goin for M60 only.

[@doctorbashir3497]

The front grille is not attractive. Its a dealbreaker.

[@bmwblog]

Maybe, but the overall car is very good

[@doctorbashir3497]

@@bmwblog I have no doubt. I bought 3 different i3’s. I loved that car with all my heart. It’s the styling on the current one that drove me to a different EV

Why? Curious

[@liviuleah2890]

For the increased performance

No horned mirrors. Nuff said. Who's the idiot at M design who forgot to add the mirrors??? Better yet, leave the horned mirrors for LEGIT M cars.

[@bmwblog]

Funny that everyone complained when M mirrors ended up on M Performance cars.

@@bmwblog When did THAT happen? Why would anybody complain about something that distinguishes your car from the cars of mere mortals? Not even AMG has a unique feature that instantly identifies their cars.

Personal opinion, no one cares.

looks like cheap disposable crap, with fake bleh. what a shame, the specs are incredible, but I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

I'm gonna say this once and for all. It ain't an M car unless it's got horned mirrors, quad exhausts and a twin turbo V8. PERIOD. All those lesser M cars (M2, M3. M4, etc) are just fakers.

@@bmwblog I didn't stutter. And you could do well to cover something other than those lesser M cars, which is all you seem to talk about on your channel.

120 grand or so for this ? Nice EV SUV , but I wouldn't get this for my money. What is it with this stupid SUV craze, especially for the Americans ? Personally I hate them, SUVs, don't see their point. Big , tall heavy , tubs of metal, yuck ! An uberwagon like an Audi RS6 Avant , or Mercedes Benz AMG E63 wagon are way more , agile , practical ,and sporty cars than this SUV stuff we see all day every day ! Still, nice car . The outside is ugly AF , the inside is super cool AF though !

[@bmwblog]

Not all cars fit all markets. So just like Europeans love their tourings and hatchbacks, Americans love their SUVs. There is a car for everyone

This was a terrible review. Boring. The M60 is supposed to be exciting. You could have at least shown us some acceleration
