Following their global media debut last month, the BMW i5 and 5 Series gear up for their market release. Some regions host media drives, with the latest hailing from the UK. These recent photos grant us an intimate view of the premier 5 Series: the BMW i5 M60 xDrive.
Of course, BMW offers a broad colour palette for customers. The latest i5 and 5 Series combine both traditional and fresh shades. Classics such as Oxide Grey and Sophisto Grey return. Meanwhile, staples like Black Sapphire, Carbon Black, Alpine White, Phytonic Blue, and Mineral White remain iconic. For a modern flair, consider Cape York Green and Brooklyn Grey. Additionally, the allure of Frozen Pure Grey, Frozen Tanzanite Blue, and Frozen Deep Grey is hard to resist.
The M Sport Pro package brings a chic black trim to the illuminated BMW kidney grille. It also boasts a polished black M rear spoiler, glossy black exterior mirror caps, and a vibrant light carpet. Standout red-painted brake callipers and M Shadow Line lighting enhance the front and rear. Plus, M Sport Pro models come standard with 20-inch light alloy wheels.
The BMW i5 M60 featuring M Sport Pro boasts M seat belts and an M Sports steering wheel, highlighted by a red 12-hour marker. Its black leather choice enhances the model’s darker aesthetic. Naturally, BMW offers diverse upholstery options, from luxurious leathers to eco-friendly vegan materials. Additionally, a prominent curved display and iDrive 8.5 are key inclusions.
As the flagship of the 5 Series lineup, the BMW i5 M60 harnesses dual motors and xDrive all-wheel drive, delivering an impressive 590 horsepower and 549 lb-ft of torque. With the added perk of Sport Boost/Launch Control, it races from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.7 seconds. The 2024 BMW i5 M60 introduces the latest Adaptive M Suspension Professional, featuring Integral Active Steering, electronic dampers, and a slightly reduced ride height by 0.3 inches.
