What is it Like to Drive the New BMW i5 M60?
It’s not just about having 600 horsepower; responsibility is necessary to harness that power and help the driver maintain control of the machine, even when the foot presses down on the accelerator. And in this, the BMW i5 M60 is extremely competent.
And more: all this without sacrificing comfort while driving on the poor asphalt of much of Brazil’s streets. This is due to the well-calibrated air suspension, which ensures a great balance across different driving modes.
Regeneration is set through the touchscreen: in addition to adaptive regeneration, there are high, medium, and low levels. In normal use, the adaptive option performs well and can anticipate traffic conditions to optimize efficiency. It’s worth mentioning that the driving assistant operates precisely and without being intrusive: it’s always nearby but does not disturb the driver with sudden interventions, which is quite pleasing.
