In their latest video, the Throttle House lads engage in a bit of virtual racing while their electric vehicles are charging. But let's not waste time on that nonsense, because they soon turn their attention to the new BMW 5 Series, specifically the M60 variant. And let me tell you, this thing means business.
Now, the front of the 5 Series may not resemble a prolapsed bung hole like some other BMW models, but don't be fooled. Under the hood of the M60 lies a beastly electrified all-wheel drive powertrain, delivering a whopping 593 horsepower. With a 0-60 time of just over 3.5 seconds, this thing is no slouch. The acceleration experience is said to be on par with a V8, with the front end lifting and vibrations adding to the excitement. It's a proper thrill ride, my friends.
But let's not forget about the suspension. The 5 Series boasts a sophisticated setup, with double wishbone up front and a multi-link rear. And if you're feeling fancy, you can even opt for powered anti-roll bars. This means the ride is nothing short of amazing, gliding over bumps and handling corners with finesse. However, it must be noted that the car's mass is quite apparent during acceleration, braking, and cornering. But hey, it's a small price to pay for all that power.
Inside the 5 Series, you'll find a mix of luxury and sportiness. The seats are comfortable, providing a baby S Series vibe, and there's plenty of legroom thanks to the absence of a transmission tunnel. However, the door cards leave something to be desired, with a rather cheap and plasticky feel. But fear not, my dear readers, because the interior is not without its charms. The interactive bars add a touch of futuristic flair, changing colors and responding to various actions. It's like having a light show in your car!
In conclusion, the new BMW 5 Series is a force to be reckoned with. It may prioritize luxury over sportiness, but with its electrified powertrain and thrilling acceleration, it still manages to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. So, if you're in the market for a powerful and comfortable electric vehicle, the M60 variant of the 5 Series is certainly worth considering.
