With a major focus on electric power, the BMW i5 M60 hits the market and aims to redefine what we know about EVs and the iconic ‘M Badge’, becoming more eco-conscious while striving to maintain its thrilling drive reputation – but can this electric edition of the 5 Series live up to the expectations of this generation of petrolheads?

With a staggering 0 – 62mph in just 3.8 seconds, BMW’s patented xDrive all-wheel drive system, and a lightweight body design to maximise the car’s performance, the i5 M60’s racing pedigree can be felt in every twist and turn of the road.

But it’s no one-trick pony – with its luxurious interior, impressive electric range and recharge time, and fantastic selection of digital driving assistance systems, including an impressive BMW IconicSounds Electric soundscape composed by Hans Zimmer, the i5 M60 has the brains to go with its 601hp brawn.

But is this enough to solidify this new breed of electric super saloons in the minds and hearts of BMW fans? Join Duncan Vincent as he gives you the full rundown on what the i5 M60 offers, how it feels in the city and on the motorways, and whether there’s still some ‘BMW Love’ in the UK in this episode of Road Test.
