BMW i5 M60 X-Drive review. Why this EV will go down as BMW's biggest miss of 2024..

The BMW i5 M60 is a 600hp EV with monster performance and massive tech but I think it's also BMW's most disappointing car in years..

i love how harry seems to be completely done with all the nonsense

[garygoodwin]

You can’t use your phone when driving but it’s ok to constantly press buttons on the dash distracting because of all the crazy driving options

[AutoTopnl]

Harry I couldn't be happier seeing another journalist feeling and experiencing the same I have.

[davedooney]

So basically they had to force manufacturers to add lane assist to stop you from crashing because they have moved basic controls into a touch screen?
What a time to be alive!

This is the best car review I've seen in a very long time. No influencer BS just a straight forward honest review. Bravo.

[TerribleUsernameAmirite]

You’ve nailed it there - the i3 and i8 felt like a BMW that was confident in its identity and ready for the future. 10 years later, they seem to be having a crisis of identity.

The older I get, the more I crave simplicity

This is my review of the year already. Finally someone who shares my views when it comes to the desirable future of cars. I don't want "bigger", "heavier" and "more powerful" with every generation of new cars. cars today are big enough (and way too heavy already). What I really want to see is an efficiency race between the brands.

To dangerous to operate a mobile phone while driving? how the hell can BMW expect drivers to use those modes and controls without them taking your attention away from the road?

[sorenklausbo]

So refreshing to hear the truth about all this unnecessary tech! What happened to the world's best dashboard designer?!

[Timmayytoo]

I hate piling on the BMW hate, but it's as if they read my mind to find everything I dislike in a modern car and then made certain to include it in this.

I was a BMW buyer for 30 years here in Germany. Not only has the styling changed but the basic BMW comes with almost nothing unless you option it up, anything from 4-10 K euros depending on the model. My last BMW was an X5 3:0 diesel and to replace it with the same optioned model was over 90K. Decided to change brand to Alfa and bought a Stelvio Lusso 280hp and never looked back. I’m quite new to your channel but enjoy every episode so keep up the good work mein Herr!

It's a good job they optioned the carbon wingmirrors to help reduce the weight to only two and a half tonnes for this "M" car 😁 Also, shout out to the old Morris Minor out of nowhere at 13:57 !

[paulgreen]

Formerly a driving machine. Now, an arcade game.

I know Harry doesn't do regular cars that much (because let's face it, he doesn't really have to), but boy do we need more reviewers like this, because all this bullshit has become way too normalized. Especially the interior, I've seen shiny plastics like this mostly on supermarket electronics.

[The-Sea-Dragon-]

I have never seen a better advert for buying a BMW E39 M5 & looking after it.

[huwprice]

£115, 000 is just an insane amount for a 5 series. The world's going mad.

[downesy]

Thank god you can get carbon fibre wing mirrors and rear spoiler to save weight.

[cp]

Can you imagine the depreciation on this?! Literally free fall!

[Veyronp]

thanks for being totally transparent. Manufacturers are really struggling with EVs it seems. Range, quality, depreciation, styling...this car is just negative after negative.
