Reach out and mention RBR! https://www.charlesanddean.com/rbr --- It’s finally time to drive the new #BMW #5series! In top dog form, in the new EV i5 “M60” from #bmwm with almost 600BHP. That’s all good and well - but is it still a proper 5er? Or has it lost the charm? Our new G60 5 series is for the first time a pure electric car, alongside a number of combustion engine variants available, and plug in hybrids coming soon. The great thing is the design of all of them is identical! On the EV side, we have the entry level i5 eDrive40 and the range topping M60 Xdrive. I’ll show you both of these today, and we will drive the later! The M60 is the most powerful current with 598BHP, 820NM and 0-60 in 3.8 seconds! Range comes from an 81.2KW battery, and the claimed mile are 315 — if it gets anywhere near this, we are on to a winner! Of course you can charge 156KM in 10 mins, thanks to fast charging. As for the motor - it’s a 5th Generation E Drive technology with a motor that is smaller but able to provide very high power density. This means it takes less space and weight, while giving more power! That unit houses the electric motor, power electronics and transmission all in one. The M60 has two of these, for xdrive all wheel drive — whereas the eDrive40 is red only. Chassis wise, we have the wheel slip limiter closer to actuator for super quick reactions, sport steering, rear wheel steering, and our car today has the all important “adaptive pro chassis option”. This comes standard on the M60, and it has the typical electronically controlled shock absorbers BUT most crucially anti roll stabilisation! They should make a big difference in dynamics with this heavier car. Inside, we’ve ripped off the 7 series in the best of ways with the new interactive light bar. Today, I’ll show you the M60 specific things in the interior, if you want a more in-depth check out my first look at the 5 series:    • 2024 BMW 5 Series G60! 600BHP i5, Petrol &...   We’ll also discuss the New M5 - the V8 which is Hybrid Powered, likely using the set up that debuted in the XM. Beyond all this, the most important thing today is the drive. How quick is the launch control? How are the dynamics vs rivals like Taycan and EQE? What are the electric sounds like? Is it an electric M5? Let’s find out today! Up next on on RBR is the New Caterham V and the Cayenne S E Hybrid and MUCH MUCH More!!
