Excellent write-up, thanks! What surprised me the most is the efficiency similarities. I would have thought that a single motor car would get better efficiency than a dual motor car - especially since the rear motors are the same power level between the two cars (I think they are both 250 kW motors in the rear).

Did you try the "Boost" paddle when on the freeway and wanting to pass? Or, did the loaner not have that option? I think that is part of the M Sport Pro package (not just the M Sport package) so maybe the loaner didn't have it.

Did the loaner have the same seats as your car? Luxury Seat package vs. Sport Seats?

It's interesting about the strength of the regen braking in B mode. I almost always drive in B mode now that I've gotten used to it and thought that my eDrive40 was pretty strong in that regard - I guess I'd have to re-learn the B mode sensitivity in an M60 if I started driving one. :-)

I may end up with a loaner next week from my dealer when I bring in my car for service. If I get a different variant than my eDrive40 I'll share any thoughts I have about it too. Thanks again for the comparison! Really interesting.

Edit: I forgot to ask - didn't you miss the colored stitching on the steering wheel and the red center marker? That's something I really wish I could have gotten on my car, but it was not available for the eDrive40. Does your M60 have the tri-color stiching on the seat belts, or is that a non-USA thing as well?
