BMW i5 M60 with 600HP reviewed on the Autobahn [AutoTopNL]

Interesting review – I don’t think he’s wrong about the difference with going to an EV – it’s not just a matter of cutting and pasting a gas/petrol engined version on to a battery platform and creating the same thing. EV’s are fundamentally different.
After the best part of a month with mine (first time EV owner), I’ve had no issues with range in terms of regular use and have easy access to charging when I need it. I’ve also noticed that the “range” numbers unsurprisingly move around a lot as the car’s trying to work out how you’re going to be driving it and over what kind of terrain for the rest of the charge – I’m looking more at my charge % which is much more like the fuel gauge on a regular car. If I had different needs – e.g. my work involved me driving around a large territory, then I’d go with an e rather than an i.
I don’t think of the M60 as an M car, in as much as you can unlock all those horses when you want, but it wafts around as a comfy sedan most of the rest of the time, but it’s not an always-on kind of machine in my mind.
