Description:
How good is the BMW i4 M60 on a real long-distance trip?
In this video, I drive 500 km on the Autobahn at up to 140 km/h and test:
Real consumption & efficiency
Charging performance (Ionity fast charging)
Route planning with A Better Route Planner
Comfort on long trips
Real-world travel time including charging
👉 This is the final test before returning the car — including real data and honest feedback.
⚡ BMW i4 M60 Long Distance Data:
Distance: 500 km
Avg consumption: 26.2 kWh/100 km
Travel time: 4h 28min (incl. charging)
Avg speed: 112 km/h
Charging peaks: up to 200+ kW
⚡ Charging tip:
For best results, arrive at chargers with low SOC (under 10–15%) and avoid charging above ~60% for faster trips.
