From Battery Life.
Description
After almost two weeks and over 2,000 km, it’s time for my honest review of the BMW i5 M60 xDrive.
There’s a lot to love – and a few things that really annoy me.
In this video I go through everything that’s amazing about this electric luxury sedan – the comfort, silence, acceleration, and Assist Plus – and what really sucks: the high-speed stability, small battery, and slow charging.
You’ll learn:
Why the Assist Plus system is the most advanced I’ve tested so far
How the i5 M60 drives at 230 km/h
Why rear seat space is disappointing for such a big car
And why we’ll have to wait for the Neue Klasse platform to fix BMW’s current EV weaknesses
