There\u2019s more of that carbon fiber on the inside where this i5 M60 boasts an upgraded Bowers & Wilkins sound system and a crystal-like finish for the iDrive controller and gear selector. The upholstery is not necessarily our cup of tea since we\u2019d go with something other than this Extended Merino Leather in Silverstone II \/ Atlas Grey but to each his own. This walkaround video is a striking reminder of how much the 5 Series has changed, especially on the inside.<\/p>\n You\u2019re not stuck with the sedan if you want the i5 M60 since BMW will also sell a Touring version<\/a> in Europe and other markets, although sadly not in the United States. Seeing the glass half full, we have it on good authority that performance wagon enthusiasts in America are finally getting an M5 Touring with the upcoming G99.<\/p>\n Another sporty version of the 5 Series could look a lot like this if the long-rumored M560e is coming out in mid-2024. If our sources are accurate, expect to see an M Performance plug-in hybrid with an inline-six gasoline engine, an electric motor, and xDrive. It too would have those M-specific mirror caps and the letter \u201cM\u201d on the kidney grille, despite not being the real M5. Perhaps the M560e, which would rival the newly released Mercedes-AMG E53<\/a>, will have the quad exhaust design of the M760e although that remains to be seen.<\/p>\n Source: Joyride \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2024-bmw-i5-m60-frozen-deep-grey-09-830x553.jpg\")
