The first-ever BMW i5 M60 xDrive
The exterior of
the first-ever BMW i5 M60 xDrive is designed to be as innovative as you. The Illuminated BMW kidney grille sets the scene
with its unique radiance. Stylistically inspired by the so-called
"Sharknose" and projecting far forward, the BMW kidney grille functions as the visual centre
of the vehicle front. The range of functions of the standard Adaptive
LED Headlights includes the cornering light and the Matrix High Beam
including the glare-free High Beam Assist BMW Selective Beam. In addition, blue
design elements below the LED units stage the light sources impressively. The
LED headlights show the hallmark four-eye face in a modern and reduced form.
Daytime driving lights and turn indicators are each generated by two nearly
vertical LED elements arranged on the outside. Just like the headlights and the
BMW kidney grille, the other areas of the front apron also feature precisely defined
contours and tightly designed surfaces. The clear and reduced design
language is also expressed in the side view of the BMW i5. Its
dynamically elongated proportions, long bonnet and almost upright BMW kidney
grille are clearly visible from this perspective. At the transition to
the rear, the shoulder and roof lines flow harmoniously into the
contours of the lights. The flat rear lights interpret the brand's hallmark
L-shaped lights with modern appeal.
Individual
design features give the BMW i5 M60 xDrive a striking look, which emphasise its
dynamic performance. A front apron with black surfaces in its centre and large
air intakes, a BMW kidney grille with contour line lighting,
horizontal slats and M logo, side skirts and exterior mirror caps finished in
high-gloss black, 20-inch M light alloy wheels and a rear
apron with a pronounced diffuser insert signal the sporty character of the
performance sedan.
Thanks
to the standard M Sport Pro Package, the first-ever BMW i5 M60
xDrive features host of M specific design features, most notably the large air
intakes at the front, strikingly flared side skirts in high-gloss black and a
rear apron with diffuser insert and the M high-gloss Shadow Line. Further, the
illuminated BMW kidney grille with black surround, the dynamic light carpet,
high-gloss black exterior mirror caps and a black-painted M rear spoiler is
also available. In addition, there are also the M Shadow Line lights for the
front and rear and red-painted brake calipers.
BMW M Performance Accessories offer
customers the ability to bring their personality to the vehicles. To enhance
the sporty appearance and character of the car, customers have the option to
choose from a wide range of individual accessories including wheel size
upgrades or curated accessory packages.
Generous
space, modern functionality, a high level of acoustic comfort as well as
high-quality, precisely processed materials, fine workmanship and advanced
digital services characterise the ambience in its interior. In the
first-ever BMW i5 M60 xDrive, the emotional performance experience is supported
by M specific displays on the BMW Curved Display. The bands of
the main displays and associated design elements in the instrument cluster
appear in a platinum silver finish. The typography and graphics are based on
the display in the cockpit of high performance cars from BMW M GmbH.
The BMW Interaction Bar combines
modern functionality and fascinating design. The strikingly backlit functional
unit with crystalline surface structure extends below the trim strip across the
entire width of the instrument panel far into the door panels and includes
touch-sensitive control panels for controlling ventilation and air conditioning
and for activating the hazard warning lights. My Modes provides
for a customizable driving and interior experience. A large-surface Carbon
Fibre interior trim strip for the instrument panel highlights the BMW
Curved Display and the optional BMW Interaction Bar. As an alternative to the
standard Carbon Fibre trim, Dark Silver Accent combined with fine-wood trim is
also optionally available in dark oak high gloss or open pored. The new gear
selector switch on the centre console control panel, also features a
particularly modern and high-quality design.
The Panorama Skyroof connects
almost the entire roof surface, extends without interruption from just behind
the windscreen to almost the rear window and, with its dark glass surface,
gives the vehicle a particularly elegant appearance. Sport seats,
whose height and inclination can be adjusted electrically, are standard
equipment. Comfort Seats can be made available optionally. Active Seat
Ventilation is also available as standard. With 18 speakers and an
amplifier output boosted to 655 watts, the Bowers & Wilkins
Surround Sound System guarantees an outstanding acoustic experience.
Further, the optimized functionality of the M leather steering wheel is
combined with a classic three-spoke design. Contrast stitching in BMW M GmbH
colours and a red centre marker for the steering wheel of the Performance model
emphasise the sporty character of this model. Exclusive seat surfaces in
Veganza/Alcantara finish with unique perforation in the shoulder area and
translucent accents in red and blue is also available. In addition, an
anthracite-coloured roof lining adds to the sporty flair.
The
first-ever BMW i5 M60 xDrive combines a particularly powerful electric
drive with hallmark M performance characteristics. Two highly
integrated drive units on the front and rear axles, in which the electric
motor, power electronics and transmission are very compactly combined in a
common housing, form an electric all-wheel drive system that enables the BMW i5
M60 xDrive to deliver fascinating dynamic performance. The car instantly
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/hr in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 230 km/hr.
It produces an output of 601 hp and a maximum torque of 795 Nm. The high-voltage battery combines compact
dimensions with high energy density and it provides a usable energy content of
81.2 kWh. The BMW i5 M60 xDrive has a range of up to 516 kilometres determined
in the WLTP test cycle. The BMW i5 M60 xDrive comes with a complimentary BMW
Wallbox charger with installation. It can be integrated at home to enable safe
and convenient charging up to 11kW. The 22 kW AC Charging Professional is also
available as an option.
BMW Operating System 8.5 in the
first-ever BMW i5 M60 xDrive offers a wider range of digital content for
information and entertainment, faster update cycles for functions, improved
information on charging points for electric vehicles and optimised access to
many specific online services. The
display and control system expanded to include the BMW Head-Up Display in
conjunction with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional. The advanced
display and operating system offers a redesigned entry screen and
"QuickSelect” access with an improved menu structure oriented towards
consumer electronics devices. The new entry screen permanently shows the map
view of the navigation system or other displays that can be individually
configured. The cloud-based navigation system BMW Maps now not only offers an
Augmented View display on the Information Display behind the steering wheel,
but also improved functions for even more precise and charging station
optimised navigation.
The
spread of Driver Assistance Systems is more extensive. They
support the driver and also increase comfort and safety. Standard equipment
includes functions like Cruise Control, Attentiveness Assistant, Parking
Assistant Professional with remote parking via smartphone and Reversing
Assistant. The optional Driving Assistant Professional, including
Distance Control with Stop & Go function and Steering and Lane Control
Assistant, provides the driver with maximum support on long journeys and in
city traffic.
The Adaptive
Suspension Professional with electronically controlled shock absorbers
is offered as standard. Infinitely adjustable valves enable wheel-specific
regulation of the damper forces, which is adaptive to the driving style, the
road conditions and also the load condition. The advanced Integral Active
Steering makes manoeuvring more comfortable, enhances agility at medium speeds
and conveys confidence when changing lanes and cornering at higher speeds.
Optionally, customers can choose the Adaptive M Suspension Professional with
additional Active Roll Stabilisation that uses the new control logic to
optimise sportiness and comfort. The damper forces are controlled using an M
specific characteristic.
The
newly designed Travel & Comfort System is also available
to provide customised
entertainment in the rear. BMW Safety technologies include six
airbags, Attentiveness Assistance, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including
Cornering Brake Control (CBC), electric parking brake with auto hold,
side-impact protection, electronic vehicle immobilizer and crash sensor, ISOFIX
child seat mounting and integrated emergency spare wheel under the load floor.
