Description
It’s range test Sunday again — and this time with the BMW i5 M60 Touring!
With 600 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and an 81 kWh usable battery, I’m testing how far this electric wagon can go at a steady 130 km/h (81 mph) on the Autobahn.
I pre-heated the battery, charged to 100 % at Ionity, and drove in Efficient Mode with 20-inch sport tires. The results might surprise you — especially for a car of this size and power.
In this video:
⚡ Charging performance & pre-conditioning results
🚗 Real-world range & consumption at 130 km/h
🧠 BMW Assist Plus autonomous driving explained
🔥 Interior comfort & heating efficiency issues
💬 Final thoughts on whether the i5 M60 is worth it
