The i5 M60 xDrive runs purely on electricity. Official WLTP combined consumption sits between 18.2 and 20.6 kWh per 100 km, giving a stated range of 455 to 516 km depending on wheels and conditions. A heat pump is standard to keep energy use lower in cold weather. DC charging reaches 205 kW so 10 to 80 percent takes about 30 minutes.
Service is due every two years. The high-voltage battery carries an eight-year or 160000 km warranty with capacity guarantee. Routine care focuses on brakes, tyres and software updates rather than oil or filters.
