Did anyone that has or has driven i5 m60 test drive the new m5? Im sure its way better but curious to hear your thoughts . I get that i5 is electric but it feels like a beast

If its like other m lites compared to full M's they will feel nothing alike even if performance figures are similar on paper. Hard to explain but once you get behind the wheel you just know its a M.

I want to see more comparisons as well especially with dhp on the i5 m60.

I've test driven the i5M60 and it can't compare in handling compared to M cars, same as every other M lites, they fall apart compared to M cars on the chassis / suspension when thrown in a corner.

The i5M60 i tested did not have adaptive suspension for whatever reason and had a sick (i mean literally you can get sick) amount of roll, lateral and longitudinal. Utter disappointment for me at the time and i was very worried the M5 would be similar but thank god no, very good surprise the M5 in sport mode will stay pretty flat and still feel lively despite of the weight, which isn't an issue on the road unless you're pushing it to the limit, and that limit is quite far.

I would like to know the 50-70 time difference between the two. Does the G90 give you the instant torque feel that the i5M60 does???

I have a i5 m60 in the family which I get to drive often and it’s a world of a difference. M60 not a M car at all in terms of driving dynamics. It’s fast and maybe even faster in some roll race scenarios but not fun to drive.

It's interesting that the i5 M60 is faster to 0-60 than the M5.
