BMW’s M Division continues its impressive run, closing 2025 with 14 straight years of sales growth—but the spotlight now falls on a new star.
The i4 M60 has dethroned the i4 M50 as the top-selling M car, signaling a shift in taste among enthusiasts while retaining the electric saloon’s cult appeal.
Drivers will have the opportunity to experience BMW’s most recent combination of performance and refinement when the first deliveries are scheduled for 2026.
The headline change is power. Replacing the M50’s 544hp output, the M60 now produces 601hp across twin electric motors with 586lb ft of torque, routed through xDrive all-wheel drive.
BMW claims a 0-62mph sprint in 3.7 seconds—a figure that feels even sharper on the road. Adaptive damping and variable steering complement the increased muscle, creating a car that is both a hushed commuter and a dynamic highway companion.
While heavier than some rivals, the M60 handles with surprising agility, rewarding committed drivers without ever feeling unpredictable.
Efficiency and range remain impressive for its class. The 81.1kWh battery offers 3.6mi/kWh and up to 334 miles under ideal conditions, while DC charging at 205kW replenishes 10-80% in 30 minutes.
BMW’s updated inverters and the M60’s software enhancements ensure smooth, intuitive operation, with menus displaying detailed 3D car visuals.
Optional features like M Sport Brakes, adaptive headlights, and driver assistance packs elevate the experience, though some essentials—like one-pedal regen controls—require screen navigation.
Priced from £69,995, the i4 M60 blends the thrill of an M car with electric refinement, proving that a heavy EV can still excite at a daily-drivable pace.
For those chasing performance without compromise, BMW’s M60 remains one of the most accomplished EVs on the market.
