Fun. Nothing more. I think it’s great they at least came up with something better than another quarter mile drag race.

It will be 1,341 hp (one megawatt).

But it’s not AWD. Not fair.

That i5 is amazing keeping up with an M car. The professional driver still not sold. Said it wasn't an M car. i5 could have won and he would have said same thing. All this hate on EV's.

Obviously a true M car is going to beat any current EV once you “turn”.

And can we talk about that guys driving ability in the M4…what kind of turn was that? My grandmother could’ve came out of that corner with more speed on exit.

Good call… That makes zero sense at all ❕

I agree that this is a silly comparison between two cars in two totally different size classes... but Edmunds also did a comparo between the same M4 and a Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which is a midsize-ish vehicle like i5, and the Hyundai spanked the M4. That means it would do the same to the i5 M60, which isn't a good look for BMW.



If the new M5 can't do better and beat a large Hyundai crossover, it will be a laughingstock.

I am still impressed with the numbers on the m60. There are some parts where I feel that they cheaped out on the m60, but I like the fact that this electric car is based on the ice platform and performs accordingly.
