There will come a time in the not-too-distant future when every single BMW M car will have to answer to the G60 BMW i5 M60 xDrive. This right here is the pinnacle of German engineering as it pertains to battery-electric mid-size performance sedans, and things are only going to get better.
The i5 epitomizes BMW’s commitment to the future of mobility, while also serving as a testament to the company's unwavering dedication to excellence.
