iX M60: is the evolution of brand electrification
An electric SAV with the traditional and sporty BMW M brand: that's the BMW iX M60. With peak power of 619 hp (455 kW) and instantaneous maximum torque of 1,015 Nm in sport mode and 1,100 Nm (using launch control), the model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and turns like a sporty, as all its suspension setup was also designed by the BMW M.The BMW iX M60 combines a sustainability-driven vehicle concept with the bold design and interior space of an SAV, without forgetting the thrilling driving characteristics expected of a high-performance BMW. In this way it embodies the best of the three worlds of the BMW i, BMW X and BMW M.
The starting signal for electric mobility in the style of the BMW M brand...Second electric model to pass through the hand of M, the BMW iX M60 delivers the power of its electric motorization up to high acceleration ranges, so that the increase in speed is also almost constant up to the maximum speed - electronically limited - of 250 km/ H. The range of the BMW iX M60 established in the WLTP test cycle is up to 566 km. All of this reinforces the road-going character of the new SAV.
The debut of the BMW iX M60 represents a milestone in the history of the BMW M, which began 50 years ago. Together with the BMW i4 M50, it represents the acceleration of the BMW M brand towards the high-performance electric car segment.
The special seasoning of division M is everywhere. Extreme power and precise control of electric all-wheel drive, together with specifically tuned M air suspension technology with automatic height control, ensure the driving experience, agility and precision characteristic of the BMW M.
The BMW iX M60 is manufactured alongside the other versions of the model at the BMW Group's factory in Dingolfing, Germany. As it is a very high-tech car, the place for its debut could not be better: virtually in the middle of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, United States. Global sales will start in June.
Balanced vehicle concept, with an extremely sporty orientation...The BMW iX concept provides an ideal foundation for an all-electric SAV with high-performance characteristics. The structure itself bears witness to the sport's commitment. To reduce weight, high-end materials were used abundantly. The aluminum spaceframe concept and carbon structure in the roof, side and rear sections are a clever mix of materials that combine increased rigidity with light weight. BMW M GmbH pioneered the use of CFRP in large-scale automotive production. The performance, efficiency and range of the BMW iX M60 also benefit from its advanced aerodynamics, which provides an aerodynamic penetration coefficient of just 0.26, an impressive result for an SAV of this size.
Of course, perfect dynamic balance is a common concern for other BMW cars. To this end, weight distribution has been a concern since the beginning of the project. The high voltage battery is located on the floor at the center of the body, lowering the vehicle's center of gravity, which ensures agility and a balanced distribution of load per axle.
That's why the BMW iX M60's performance characteristics are not only marked by fascinating spontaneous acceleration, but also by excellent dynamic precision at all times, even in highly demanding situations. The model can also be driven to the physical limits, giving the driver clear feedback in typical BMW style. Powerful design language, lots of technology and ample space...The powerful proportions of a modern SAV, bold design and precise details characterize the clear external look and give the BMW iX M60 its distinctive presence. The brake calipers are painted blue and the logos and symbols come in Titanium Bronze, a nice combination with the 22-inch aerodynamic wheels. The spacious, high-quality interior and innovative design helps the driver focus on active driving, while offering travel comfort and the pleasure of luxury. Multifunctional seats with integrated headrests, the large BMW Curved Display, hexagonal steering wheel and anthracite-coloured roofline add to the pleasure of driving. The elimination of the central tunnel creates additional legroom as well as storage space.The unique character of the BMW iX M60 is further emphasized by its exceptional level of standard equipment. Among other things, it includes BMW Live Cockpit Professional and BMW Natural Interaction, which allows functions to be operated by speech and gestures, Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound, BMW Laser Light headlights, and ventilated front seats. Present in all BMW models, connectivity has reached a new level in the BMW iX. The new eighth generation operating system is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Curved Display panel and voice communication with the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Remote software updates offer the possibility to install new and improved vehicle functions via the cloud. Navigation with the cloud-based BMW Maps system and augmented reality video on the control display ensure fast and accurate route planning as well as perfect traffic navigation. The BMW iX is also a pioneer in data transmission using the 5G cellular standard and in the integration of the personal mobile account in the vehicle with the help of Personal eSIM.360 degree sustainability concept: controlled raw material extraction, 100% green electricity production, high proportion of natural and recycled materials...Responsible use of resources across the value chain and maximum reduction of the CO2 footprint throughout the product lifecycle express how BMW i understands and defines forward-looking premium mobility. This holistic approach is consistently implemented in vehicle development, throughout the supply chain and in the production of the BMW iX M60. The BMW i brand represents ecological and social sustainability.
The supply of the cobalt and lithium needed for the high voltage batteries is purchased by the BMW Group from controlled sources in Australia and Morocco and handed over to the battery cell manufacturers. The design principle of electric motors makes it possible to dispense with the use of rare earths in the drive rotors. In addition, the company purchases aluminum produced with electricity from solar power plants. 100% green electricity is used for the manufacture of vehicles as well as for the production of battery cells. A high proportion of secondary aluminum and recycled plastic also contributes to the resource-efficient production of the BMW iX M60. The interior features FSC-certified wood, tanned leather with olive leaf extract and other natural materials. Among other things, recycled fishing nets serve as raw material for flooring and mats. Ensuring ecological sportiness is with the BMW iX M60.
