Paired with an M-specific suspension setup, this all-electric SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) redefines emission-free driving with an exhilarating performance edge.
The BMW iX M60 seamlessly blends innovative luxury with the commanding presence of a modern SAV and signature M driving dynamics. It represents the pinnacle of BMW i’s electric innovation, BMW X model versatility, and BMW M GmbH’s performance expertise. Packed with technological advancements, including cutting-edge automated driving features, intuitive operation, and seamless connectivity, the BMW iX M60 sets a new benchmark for advanced luxury, high-performance, and premium electric vehicles.
Electrifying Performance, Pure BMW M DNA.
The BMW iX M60 redefines electric acceleration, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds. The relentless power delivery, characteristic of its M-engineered electric drive, remains consistent even at high speeds, ensuring sustained acceleration all the way to its electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Despite its formidable performance, the BMW iX M60 achieves a WLTP-tested range of up to 561 kilometers (approximately 348 miles), balancing exhilarating dynamics with practical usability.
The debut of the BMW iX M60 marks a significant milestone in BMW M GmbH’s 50-year legacy. Joining the BMW i4 M50 in the electrified performance segment, the iX M60 embodies BMW M’s commitment to pushing boundaries in the electric era. The vehicle’s electric all-wheel drive system, known for its extreme power and precise control, works in harmony with the responsive actuator-based wheel slip limitation and advanced suspension technology. This includes an M-specifically tuned dual-axle air suspension with automatic level control, ensuring the hallmark BMW M driving experience characterized by agility, precision, and engaging dynamics.
Manufactured at the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing alongside other BMW iX variants, the BMW iX M60 premiered at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January 2022. Its global market launch commenced in June 2022, bringing electrifying M performance to roads worldwide.
Optimized Design for Sporty Agility and Balanced Dynamics.
The BMW iX platform provides an ideal foundation for a high-performance all-electric SAV. The vehicle’s architecture, design principles, and suspension tuning are meticulously engineered to harmonize superior ride comfort with sporty handling characteristics. The intelligent material mix, featuring an aluminum spaceframe concept and a carbon cage with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the roof, side, and rear sections, achieves enhanced rigidity while optimizing weight. BMW M GmbH has a long-standing tradition of utilizing CFRP for weight reduction, pioneered in models like the iconic BMW M3 CSL in 2003. Today, CFRP components are integral to the lightweight construction of many BMW M high-performance sports cars.
Aerodynamic efficiency further contributes to the BMW iX M60’s performance, range, and efficiency, achieving a drag coefficient (Cd value) of 0.26 in Sport Mode. Positioning the high-voltage battery low in the underbody lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity, enhancing agile handling and ensuring balanced axle load distribution. This design philosophy translates to performance characterized not only by breathtaking acceleration but also by exceptional cornering capabilities and precisely controllable handling, even in highly dynamic driving scenarios. The BMW iX M60’s balanced driving dynamics inspire confidence and a light-footed feel at all speeds, providing clear feedback to the driver even when exploring the vehicle’s performance limits, a signature trait of BMW M vehicles.
Pioneering Technology and Digital Innovation.
As the first BMW M automobile built upon the BMW Group’s next-generation modular system, the iX M60 integrates typical M performance with cutting-edge advancements in automated driving, operation, connectivity, and digital services. This fusion creates a premium mobility experience unmatched in its class. The completely redesigned interior architecture further enhances this experience, offering an exceptionally spacious and luxurious environment.
The BMW iX M60 boasts the most comprehensive suite of standard driver assistance systems ever offered by BMW, alongside numerous groundbreaking innovations. A new generation of sensors, a sophisticated software stack, and a powerful computing platform lay the groundwork for continuous advancements in automated driving and parking functionalities.
The BMW iDrive system in the iX M60 delivers an immersive and distinctly M-focused driving experience. The system revolves around the familiar BMW Operating System 8, emphasizing the intuitive touch functionality of the BMW Curved Display and enhanced voice communication through the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Unique M touches within the BMW iX M60 include M badges in the instrument display and the debut of BMW IconicSounds Electric with characteristic M soundscapes, enriching the electric driving experience. The new My Modes “Relax” and “Expressive” expand driving personalization, offering five distinct modes to tailor every journey. BMW ConnectedDrive Upgrades enable over-the-air installation of new and enhanced vehicle functions. Navigation is enhanced by the cloud-based BMW Maps system with Augmented Reality Video, providing fast, precise route planning and optimal traffic guidance. The BMW iX also pioneers data transmission via the 5G mobile phone standard and seamless integration of personal mobile phone accounts into the vehicle through the Personal eSIM.
Striking Design, Luxurious Interior, and Comprehensive Equipment.
The BMW iX M60’s exterior design is defined by powerful SAV proportions, minimalist surface language, and precise detailing, resulting in a distinctive and commanding presence. Blue-painted brake calipers featuring the M logo, BMW Individual Titanium Bronze Exterior Line accents, and M logos in High Gloss Black/Titanium Bronze finish on the front side panels and rear underscore the vehicle’s high-performance DNA. Optional 22-inch M aerodynamic wheels with an exclusive Titanium Bronze design further enhance its visual appeal.
The spacious and innovatively designed interior prioritizes driver focus while providing exceptional travel comfort and progressive luxury. Multifunction seats with integrated headrests, the expansive BMW Curved Display, the hexagonal steering wheel, and the anthracite-colored roof liner elevate the driving experience. The absence of a center tunnel maximizes legroom and storage space, while the center console, styled like a high-quality piece of furniture, adds a touch of elegance. The optional Suite interior package elevates luxury with natural leather seats, instrument panel, center console, and door trim surfaces, along with refined Gold Bronze accents and controls.

Holistic Sustainability: A Core Principle.
BMW i’s commitment to forward-thinking premium mobility is embodied in a holistic sustainability concept that spans the entire value chain. This includes responsible raw material sourcing, production powered by 100 percent green electricity, and a high proportion of natural and recycled materials throughout the BMW iX M60’s lifecycle. BMW i prioritizes both ecological and social sustainability.
The BMW Group directly sources cobalt and lithium for high-voltage batteries from controlled sources in Australia and Morocco, ensuring ethical and responsible procurement. The electric motors are designed to eliminate the need for rare earth metals in the rotors. Furthermore, the company procures aluminum produced using solar energy.
Both vehicle and battery cell manufacturing rely on 100 percent green electricity. The resource-efficient production of the BMW iX M60 is further enhanced by the use of a high proportion of secondary aluminum and recycled plastics. The interior incorporates FSC-certified wood, leather tanned with olive tree leaf extract, and other natural materials. Recycled fishing nets are even utilized as raw material for floor coverings and floor mats, demonstrating BMW’s commitment to circular economy principles.
