An electric performance 5 Series.
The i5 M60 xDrive uses drive units on both axles. M Sport Boost and Launch Control qualify its quoted peak figures, which is why those notes remain visible beside the data.
A fast electric executive saloon.
A test drive should include ride comfort and ordinary road use.
Peak torque depends on the stated boost or launch function.
eDrive · Dual-motor all-wheel drive
The i5 M60 xDrive combines a front electric drive unit with a rear electric drive unit. Its selected launch specification reaches up to 442 kW, with up to 820 Nm when M Sport Boost or M Launch Control is active.
BMW i3 electric drive unit shown in 2013. System reference: later i4, i5, i7 and iX drive units have different generations, motors and installation.
Coordinated front and rear electric motors
The i5 M60 xDrive combines a front electric drive unit with a rear electric drive unit. Its selected launch specification reaches up to 442 kW, with up to 820 Nm when M Sport Boost or M Launch Control is active.
81.2 kWh usable energy
The underfloor lithium-ion battery provides 81.2 kWh of usable energy in the selected specification. Usable capacity describes the driver-accessible operating window and differs from gross capacity.
Understand the peak figures
The headline figures describe peak system capability. BMW specifies the 820 Nm torque with M Sport Boost or M Launch Control; output and torque outside these conditions differ. Battery usable capacity is 81.2 kWh.
Recover energy while slowing down
During deceleration, the drive motors can act as generators. Power electronics manage energy recovered into the high-voltage battery, while physical brakes provide additional stopping force.
