The 2023 BMW iX M60 Is A Quicker & Less Expensive Electric X5M Sized SUV

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 พ.ย. 2022
- The electric era is quickly reaching BMW and the 2023 #BMWiX is the brand's first-ever dedicated electric SUV. The #iXM60 is the high-performance M version and it takes the already quick #iX xDrive50 and turns the wick up to deliver a near 3-second 0-60 MPH performance and well over 300 miles of range on a full charge. Look past the polarizing design of the #BMW iX and what you'll find is a really impressive luxury EV.

I don't know about you guys but I want buttons for the heat and a knob to change the temp. Doing everything via the screen is annoying IMO
Sofyan still looking great and killing these reviews like no one else can!
Hope all crew at Redline had good Thanksgiving!❤️
Glad you're a nosy journalist and showed us what's under the hood! Was always curious. Thanks and appreciate the detail you put in to all of your reviews.
This is *way* better than anything tesla has to offer
It isn't for the middle class at +$110k.
It isn't even for the rich. It's for the super rich.
A RIVIAN R1S cost less and its an actual SUV.
This Car on the other hand is just a joke.
@@powerhouse884 except Rivian likely won't be around in a few years so....
@@doomsday9973 Sure, sure LMAO
@@powerhouse884 laugh all you want they are in trouble and struggling that is a FACT. Have fun getting that thing serviced when there is no company to service it anymore
Your reviews are tops on my list to enjoy daily. I am just wondering what a window pillar is? This is something new to me. I thought windows had frames or were frameless.
I hated this when I first saw it, but saw one in person at the dealer while getting my oil changed and I gotta say…it’s kinda sexy in its own way. And 0-60 in under 4 seconds, works for me! Destroy 95% of others on the roads.
the only thing I don't like is the steering wheel but hey it's the total package for a single dad like me
Feel the same way about this!
Saw one in person today. Actually looks decent. The rims are very nice up close
Incredibly informative review! New information and detailed helping me make some decisions as I am going electric.. just getting out of the new RRS 2024 model as it didn’t really feel that special, and wanted to try the EV route. This thing is definitely not a looker, but it may just be cool enough on the inside that I could care less! It appears that out of all the legacy manufacturers BMW is doing a pretty good thing especially with the range and overall driving performance, and at a decent price point vs. Porsche
HAPPY SATURDAY.....HAVE A BEAUTIFUL EVENING EVERYONE ✌️
The integrated headrests of the front benches/seats are in a really strange position (steeply inclined).🤔
😳
I’m growing to like this car after seeing a few on the street.
I had this weird jerk (harsh shift) feeling when I test drove (even gentle on the pedal) with 60im, but not with 50i. Both were in sports mode while driving. Wonder if it's just the way 60im being tuned, or it's a setting I can change (really high regenerative braking?).
Keep up the good work Sof !!
Been a BMW ix since August, loving it
I saw one of these just the other day (October 8th 2023) and the "grill" had gold gradient on those triangles close to the middle. Not sure what model that is, or if it's just a color thing.
Mr. Bey, do you have any information on the the battery rebates on all the electric vehicles that you cover, and is it true that only batteries made in North America are covered under the rebate?
It’s not a rebate, it’s a tax credit that you must qualify for when you do your taxes the following year, meaning you have to have enough tax liability to get it. And yes, when the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law in August, only EV’s assembled in N.America qualify for the credit and starting in Jan 2023, they will start to look into where the battery minerals come from as well to qualify.
Beautifu car. Sounds like you went into warp 9 when taking off. BMW really stepped up their game
I like the looks more than the normal X5. I am weird looking myself though. 🤪
Haha then it’s a good fit😂
Wait a sec, I like it too so maybe I’m funny lookin’
When will you do a review on outlander PHEV??
Would love to see this compared to the Audi SQ8 55 e-tron quattro. I don't think the latter has rear wheel steering, but specs show better range.
The Audi looks 1000x better
I thought this car was nothing special. Then I had it as a loaner car for my X5 LCI. I would happily trade my car for this. Even despite the looks. The performance is just ridiculous. The pickup from 40 feels just as strong as a plaid. Yet the comfort and tech are just so good. Such a good package.
All New BMWs doors does not have solid thunk while closing. Not sure if the quality reduced or changed the materials to reduce weight or something.
$140k I spec’d out 😮
I did a brake torque launch when an M60 came to my dealership. Recorded it for Instagram, the power made my phone slap the shit out of my face 😂 then did the same thing in a 2023 M8 comp later and the power felt meh
So you’re just launching new cars without break in periods? I bet the future customers don’t know that.
@@arelaththewhitewolf230 Sorry to break it to you sweetheart, electric cars don't have break in periods. 2. BMW break in periods vary and a simple 0-45 run is harmless. At least you tried tho.
@@LilRick96 “did the same thing in a M8”
I love it!
Compared to the X5 there are a lot of things I don’t like about the look, decreased size and function of the IX. I am hoping BMW makes some adjustments in future editions. However, for now its not worth switching from me e45
The new 50e blows away the 45 in every way

Which electric vehicles have real grilles?
That plastic square in the seat is so redundant...
Plastic??? Ha! I’m flattered…
It's not redundant, it's a mistake.
The best choice to make some of every part of is amazing in my opinion for the history in a lifetime and is another favorite for the history in the coming years
Great video as always I rather have fisker ocean
What a beautiful SUV 😍🔥
Awesome SUV, looks great!
Dude did you actually see the front end? 😂
if someone gave it to me, id sell it...ugly!
In my opinion, dark black, dark red/wine red or dark blue + dark yellow body color only suits very well. 🤔
Those cupholders are a 100% dealbreaker for me...having to contort just to get down there to insert or remove something would absolutely make me crazy
Its stupid (like other parts of the car). Cup holders need to be on top so you can easily grab and replace them.
Right.
Or maybe you just can’t afford it.
That’s your design complaint? 😂😂😂
@@MH-im4oh I’m in-house counsel for a large pharmaceutical company and I can’t afford it. It wouldn’t be a decision made on the cup holders though 😂
Get in shape?
Just as you starting driving, I finally saw just how stupid the (optional) glass crystal dial is as it reflected sunlight over your face. Quite a few other reviewers have pointed this out saying it can be quite blinding. So yeah the dial and door glass crystals look nice, but not really such a good idea. Other than that, I love the car! Plus I have a chance of winning this iX M60 in 3 weeks time, would be unbelievable if I did! (Oh, it will come with that crystal glass option).
Been driving mine for weeks, not a single time it happens to me.
Oh wait, it’s not even your car?
Shut the hell up then.
@@MH-im4oh A lot of people comment on cars that they don't own and express opinions,. So you own one eh? Well it goes to show that having a lot of money doesn't necessarily equate to having a lot of brains. Pretty dumb comment there pal.
I always drive with sunglasses… is this not the norm?
@@birreboi Well, the brain is required to obtain lots of money (like commenting without having to edit it later).
People don't have money cause they're either lazy or dumb. Which one's your excuse?
@@MH-im4oh Oh dear, I am starting to feel sorry for you. You seem to have, in my opinion, some mental issues. Firstly, so saying that a brain is required to make/get money, is again, stupid. You and many others, may have just inherited the money, or your rich daddy gave it to you. So a totally irrelevant comment. Then you come up with some inane comments, like virtually saying that one cannot comment on a car review if they dont own that car. Huh, WTF?? Then you mention editing one's comment, like its a crime?? Again, WTF?
You then go one (rather boringly) saying that 'people who dont have money' , blah blah blah , is rather a stupid comment, like all your comments so far. You dont know whether I am loaded with money or not, or wildly guess guess that I dont have money, is yet again, a stupid comment and totally irrelevant. I really think you need to seek professional mental health, you poor dickhead.
Oh last thing, dont bother commenting back because I have you blocked. I'm really not interested in fuckwits like you.
The front end styling kinda looks as if it took a page from Batman's "the brave and the bold."
any side impact damage to the carbon fiber will most likely not be repairable.
Still an ancient 12V battery under the hood. How to charge that small battery if BMW does not want owners to open the hood?
this or model x?
I see luxury package - not an executive package. Did something change?
14:12 I really wish auto reviewers would stop giving manufacturers a pass on these laggy screens. That does not look “quick” or “responsive”. The standard should be any phone screen (that’s what everyone is used to). Anything less will feel laggy.
I really don't see the value of this one over the xDrive50 version, which even with nearly every creature comfort still sets you back $92k... not cheap, but compared to $110k starting, it's something.
I mean, if you have 92k to drop on a car, what's another 12k at that point in order to get top performance? I won't be buying either just throwing that out there.
Well, the 92k example was optioned out for a trim that starts at a little below 85k. The $110k figure is a starting level for the M50 trim with no options. Not sure what it starts out with beyond just drivetrain and suspension improvements, though. Surely, there would be something, but it's just not clear what.
Still, I think this is likely to be cross-shopped against the Model X (and the M60 trim may even be a counterpart to the Plaid), and I'm not even aware of any way to make this cost more than a Model X. So it's really a question of the creature comforts and driving dynamics of a BMW vs. FalconWing doors and Tesla's one and only real practical advantage -- namely that they have a reliable charging network.
@@ChazR25 Because you can get every option of the M60 outside of the extra second of 0-60 time but get 30 miles more range. $12k may be pocket change to you, but most people will save that and ignore the extra power.
@@ChazR25 with that logic, what’s yet another 12k (roughly) and get the i7?
There’s always something better. This is a beautiful car but I agree it’s hard to justify at this price point. It’s just bigger…maybe that’s worth it
For this much money I want adjustable headrests.
BMW is the pinnacle of the automotive world in our opinion and where had all of the German car brands.
They may be in ICE configuration. What they can do for EV has yet to be determined over time.
i can see dear Sofyan feel bored testing on these electric cars rather than petrol cars😂
I own an x5 and I just tested one of these they are far from similar in size and the goals are different and the trunk on this is so small in comparison to the x5 I don’t understand the title of this video. But otherwise great review just don’t get the x5 comparison as someone who owns the 2021 x5M
I Know Right 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Go Ahead Wit Ya Bhaaad Self Stay Bougie In That MY21X5M I Had A 2011 Carbon Black Sapphire.
I’d just keep the x5 this thing is ugly as hell
I like the car. Modern, futuristic, amazing performance and quality of build. I like that people are skeptical, go ahead and keep your 2010 cars, this is too "ugly" for you. I'll get it with a little depreciation, can't wait.
All they had to do was put a battery pack in the x5, throw some blue accents around and everybody would have been happy.
exterior looks like a BMW stepchild mated with a Jeep Compass.
red headed
I'd surely have the x5 over this thing
I foresee a class action lawsuit with that headrest!
I'm Mercedes fan but BMW electric cars is way better than boxy shaped Mercedes EV
It's really cool, but ill take a X5m competition. My friend has an x3m competition, and it is amazing. The only thing with me and electric cars is the charging yeah 80% charge in what 30 min? Cool but i rather gas up in 5 min and have 100% range in a gas power car not to mention exaughst noises
I saw one in person last week. At first from a distance it looked like a minivan. The proportions are very upright, the side profile is very cab-forward, and the ground clearance is more sedan than SUV-like. So essentially a minivan profile.
They need to be able to charge 80% in no more than 15 min......We're just not there yet
BMW did the cheap hanging port on the i3
Can I do reviews with you?
How is it less expensive?
Agree that it’s much quicker and has much better range than the e-tron, but the e-tron has proper massage seats for both driver and passenger, a much easier MMI control center, same adjustable suspension, and you can get a 2nd hand 2019 low mileage Prestige (fully loaded) one for $60k. I just did that. Traded in my Model Y for a Hyundai Ioniq 5, and traded that in for a 2019 e-tron Prestige, and absolutely love the e-tron. For the price, it’s really, really nice, and has almost all of the luxuries that this has.
What made you wanna trade the ionq 5? How was the experience with it?
BMW should have named this the iM Ugly. Their lead designer needs to be show the door. I have not found a single person who likes their current designs.
You a Kid in a Candy shop . 👍
i dont get why only Tesla has managed to get such a large front trunk when all other companies with EV's can't seem to do it
$110k vehicle that doesn't even have a solid sounding thunk? That's a no go
That solid sounding thunk is a deal breaker for me too😂
What was not told to you in this video is that the door sills are made of carbon fiber which reduces the solid thud noise. The windows are also frameless which don’t help as well.
@@ajlee6933 I have a camaro with frameless doors and it has a solid sounding thunk! And it’s not $110k
@@kennethsmith6899 read Kenneth. You just conveniently missed the main reason I said the thud doesn’t exist.
That’s how Honda sells their NSX. Hondas sound so hollow and cheap. So does Toyota.
BMW is going through an identity crises as they continue to explore new designs. The interior in particular is all over the place.
True for all car manufactures really. For most of them, EVs are totally new territory, so few of them are sure what the consumer wants or how to proceed. BMW holding on to the use of unnecessary grills, for example.
Me gusta bmw para Luis
I don’t like the way the doors sound either.
I can't imagine spending so much on a vehicle I can't travel long distances in without having to wait for long periods of time between charges.
Exactly my thought! Definitely charging infrastructure needs to be more superb to consider these types of expensive executive vehicles
it's A Literal Ticking Time "Bomb" That Captivates Electrical Currents Into A Specific Concealed Placement Of The Chassis Platform, Which Then Being The Primary Motherboard To All Secondary Electronic Conductors (Input/Output) That Are Typical Of A Present Day Automotive Innovation. I'd Say It's Lackluster At It Best.
Also that’s extremely ugly
The main reason they mean nothing to me.
same here. I don’t even want to spend time to wash my car.
One day, I buy a new 2023 BMW IX EV SUV.
Giant rc car
I just bought one and it does not have active lane keeping assistant OMG (only $3000) and will return it. Safety is the most important
Make a six or seven seaters like Tesla model X and you will get more clients.
Man I might as well keep my 2010 x5 and my 2017 x5😭😭😭 sheesh what the hell is up with the nose lol
Great choice!
Good luck charging it on the road… you almost have to wait for Tesla to open up Supercharging to all..
ALL EVs biggest limitation.
….not for Tesla ownership. 40,000 chargers world wide and counting!
Just get the X5 over this
Save the money and get a EV6 GT. Lol
The obsession with frunks is bizarre. How much shit do y’all need to carry around all the time?
What SUV????? Thats just a Car lol…. Looks smaller even with you standing beside it.
Sofi what are you doing with those shorts bro I could see how much change you have in your pocket, this is a family show. Those legs looking swole. 😜👍☺️
XI M60 is 5 years ahead of Tesla in total technology!😊
You’re not supposed to open the front. Because hen it starts breaking down you can get scammed at the dealer.
Why would this brand move away from attractive design and physical buttons for music or climate control?
Lol. Self-Healing grill 😂 🤣 😅
grill(e)
The front end is like a bulldozer blade. No wonder it can't even get 300 miles out of that big battery.
it has more to do with the weight of the car and those massive wheels
Have you driven 2023 X7?
Nice but a bit heavy.
Nice test- pity about the blasphemy.
How donkey put subover in seat near head if accident happen what will happen
Is the Tesla Model 3 as nice as this car?
170k in Atlanta Georgia 😂😂😂😂😂
Top speed is 249km/h. 👍🏼😉
@Henrik Koukku 249kmh is pretty pointless for most of the world, the exception being the Autobahn in Germany.
@@birreboi -That's true.
The front grill alone is a hard-stop for me, which is a shame because of the talent coming from the team of BMW engineers.
Fifth....Love it!
First
Frameless windows fam...that's why the door sounds like ass when you close it. It doesn't seal all the way when you shut it, the window slides up a bit to seal the car once the door is closed.
Funny looking vehicle
The i3 was a a carbon fiber brilliant design but it was butt ugly
Nice 2nd row bench seats. Still. Forever and ever. But yeah, screen galore makes it futuristic and comfy. NOT!!!
Price = ouch!
