From Battery Life.
Description:
Today I’m testing the BMW i5 M60 on the German Autobahn – the most powerful i5 with 600 horsepower, all-wheel drive, and a 230 km/h top speed.
I wanted to find out: how does this electric BMW behave at high speeds? Is it stable? How high is the consumption? And does it really feel like an “M” car on the Autobahn?
Spoiler: the acceleration is amazing – but at 200+ km/h, things get interesting…
In this video you’ll see:
⚡ 0–230 km/h acceleration & power tests
🚗 Real high-speed consumption (550 Wh/km!)
😬 Stability comparison: BMW i5 M60 vs Audi S6 e-tron
🔥 Power limit behavior & temperature effects
💬 Honest verdict – great power, but not great control
