I just ordered the 2025 as well and actually the dealership said they will tune it for me once the car breaks in and that'll give me the option to have more horsepower than the competition with a warranty
Just ordered one in Skyscraper Grey Metallic with Black Leather and same wheels...Thank you for this review...In the beginning of this video it sounded like an announcer introducing a heavy weight champion...then I realized you really are..! Great review...!
There is a mode called sprint mode in the vehicle that give you 40 extra HP for 10 seconds. So they increase the horsepower without telling people much about that mode since it has the mild hybrid. So you can get 563 hp for 10 seconds of play lol.
Awesome review Anthony! This LCI looks amazing. Just curious. How does this compare to the SQ7 you recently tested? My friend recently purchased one (Audi) and I was impressed with how composed and quiet it was. Keep up the great work! 😎
Thanks Mike, the SQ7 is awesome, both will ride similar but the BMW can corner better and has more exhaust sound that will enter the cabin. The Audi is more quite, can tow more and has the third row. With Audi you can option Audi Care which you pay around 1-1500 and it will pay for all services in four years. BMW gives 2-3 years free maintenance and is less expensive overall to service. I wanted to buy an SQ7 but what turned me away was they will not give a loaner for an oil change, you have to wait 2-3 hours, 3 different dealerships all said the same. For 100k vehicle I didn’t see this service to be as good for the price of the vehicle, BMW will give you a loaner for this. We have had three Infinitis, all of them give us loaners and we didn’t even buy one from them.
@@HawkeyeRides Wow at that price point, that would be a deal breaker for me too. My past three vehicles have been different Mini models (BMW owned) and my dealership always provides a loaner. Thanks much!
Great video ! How is the exhaust on it ? I have a 2021 m550 coming off lease and have heard the exhaust is not as impressive on this m60 compared to my 2021 m550.
It’s good, you can hear it though the interior and it gets aggressive when you push it, I have the exhaust sound in this review on the exterior parts 👍
The hybrid version, which I drive and pares the I6 with an electric motor, has only 40 less HP and is amazing and costs $17K less as well as much better gas mileage. The M60i is awesome but I don't see how I could justify the extra cost for minimal performance comparing the M60I to the 50e.
Yeah, looks better with the M-sport. The 50e was already at the top of what I wanted to spend so spending an extra $17K for a half second quicker 0-60 just seemed to extravagant for me.@@HawkeyeRides
The extra weight for the 50e Put them both side by side and your not just 40hp less You can't just add the ice and EV power together BMW say. 50e much smarter choice, easy, I nearly bought one. M60i is not a wise choice but V8 and lighter will bring a smile to my face at much much much much more.
The 50e is just over 200 lbs heavier and the acceleration difference between the two is pretty close. So the 60i has a slight acceleration advantage and a better sound with the V8 but it's much thirstier and considerably more expensive. If you have the budget for the extra $17K and want the sound then okay but for me, the modest performance advantage doesn't justify the added cost. I feel the same way when comparing the M60i with the X5M, the M's performance advantage costs too much, I would take the 60I over the . @@Digga_10

Do you know if this is activated with launch control?
Or just by holding downshift paddle only?
Hold down shift paddle for a few seconds it will say sprint on the bottom of the gauge cluster
Man when I think that the X5M in 2018 was 567hp
This is freaking awesome for a non M car 🔥🔥🔥
Does it require gas or electricity? If so, what type of gas? Premium or Regular?

I test drove one and the exhaust note was unimpressive. The 2020-2023 X5 M50i sounds MUCH better.
