This Sedan is Fast, Fun & Well-Built (BMW i5 M60 2024 Review)

[@anakinskywalker4113]

Seriously it is astronomically expensive. I just wish more motoring journalists would address the elephant in the room. Anything over $80k-$100k is just ridiculous money for a new car.

[@Kruse1]

Okay now I'm starting to like BMW again.

[@bbking0064]

Very pretty scenery. Where in regional Victoria is this filmed?

[@Harza1978]

$200k, what the heck?? I just ordered one in Finland and it was €130K = $141K. Basic M60 model is about €100K = $109K. I drove last weekend's this model and I must say that it is absolutely fantastic and by far the best car I have ever driven. My previous car was a Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo 2020 hybrid and this BMW is clearly more fun and better to drive. Love it ❤

[@wwv9512]

The €130k you paid is equivalent to $216k AUD (I believe you used USD). The Australian dollar just has a terrible exchange rate

[@Harza1978]

@@wwv9512 okay, thx for clarification!

[@gasstation405]

3:03 Sounds like creaking to me... the G60 interior is such a step down from the G30 in build quality and materials. Hard plastic lower door bins are unacceptable for a car in this class, and especially at that price.

[@andrewprice9444]

Just drove one , magnificent thing . Hard to convey on an KZbin even though you do a great job.

Car prices equal to houses prices now a days

[@davidperry3531]

Beautiful car but I wonder why there is no netting or pockets on the backs of the front seats?

[@fale892]

For $200k, buyers should expect more....

[@martintokinaga5261]

Exactly. That is why the German Manufacturers are so worry about Chinese EV attack. Most other non luxury brand can do similar performance with half the price. And each one of them has their set of features of attraction.

[@joakimkarlsson4274]

@@martintokinaga5261so far, no Chinese EV are even close to this quality, and luxury. Still a big big difference.

​@@joakimkarlsson4274 You are more welcome to pay more double the price like the EQE that blown up in Korea. And then they mislead about the supplier of those batteries and getting sue now. That is the quality you are getting.

[@Harza1978]

It’s fast. Practically as soon as you press the brake and gas pedals to the bottom.

[@spiro5327]

I actually like this car inside and out. Same 0 to 100 as XPOWER, isn't that funny. You have to review the M5 when it becomes available. 😊

[@prakashnarismulu3332]

Just saw the Joe Achilles review of same car . His advice is go for a used previous generation M5

[@paulkazzer]

A second hand M5 or new M3 Touring please.

I know you love BMW, but the interior doesn't look that expensive to me, still, if you're a BMW fan boy, this will no doubt satisfy the wealthy electric car buyers 🎉

[@candlelarbra5212]

Literally a kia sportage interior

[@chasingcars]

I don't love any brand in my professional life. I commend good cars and downplay bad ones. As for the suggestion the interior is just the same as a Kia Sportage - I think testing both in person would vacate that opinion quite quickly.

[@candlelarbra5212]

@@chasingcars Nah they're pretty much the same. Waste of money, buy the Sportage and give the rest to charity.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

[@MichelOM1995]

​@@candlelarbra5212 Just because they look alike doesn't mean they feel the same, I doubt that the pile of hard plastic, etc., feels the same as a BMW, which is the brand that takes the most care of the quality of its interiors.

[@NateArnold-c7i]

Very nice however ludicrous price.

[@MrBobegregg]

Not sure how you can decide the car is well built, given the brand becomes a time bomb once warranty expires with spare parts that are priced at almost beyond belief.

[@arboghast8505]

$215,900 for this lol... For $215k, if someone would buy this instead of an M3 Touring, he really is the EV audience - aka. people who are not very smart. And even if you had to buy an EV, which you don't have to, $215K is Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo money.

[@PH-kl5qq]

What's wrong with buying an EV?

[@rionshin]

The price full loaded with everything is around 130000€, or $140k . I don’t know where this 215k came from

[@arboghast8505]

[@TasimanaOG]

Same 0-200 as the previous m550i, no V8, slower after 200, 85k more. Its a horrible value compared to the last

[@insayn7995]

And since it’s an EV you can’t do road trips either

Truly awful. The quality of the exterior and interior looks below what you would expect for the asking price. What happened to BMW?

[@norbertderichs8173]

This electro trash is NOT BMW !!

Not a big fan of the new exterior (especially the front) but love the new interior!
