Home and Destination Charging (0 -> 100%)

Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.

Europe

Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)

Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring.

Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring Range and Battery Specifications

Official BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring WLTP range figures hover around 300–314 miles (≈483–506 km) depending on wheel size and configuration. Real‑world tests report approximately 280 miles (≈450 km) in mixed driving, with more possible in Max Range mode, which restricts some comfort functions to stretch efficiency. Energy consumption is quoted at roughly 3.0–3.4 mi/kWh WLTP, which is solid for a powerful, long‑roof performance EV.

The BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring battery specs include a usable capacity of about 81.2 kWh (≈84.4 kWh gross) using a liquid‑cooled lithium‑ion pack on a 400V architecture. Adaptive recuperation can recover up to around 198 kW under braking, and a standard heat pump helps maintain efficiency in colder climates. As ever, range is influenced by factors such as sustained motorway speeds, temperature, elevation changes, and driving style.

Range Metric	Value
WLTP Range	300–314 miles / 483–506 km
EPA Range	N/A (Touring not rated; sedan up to ~253 miles)
Real-World Range	~280 miles / ~450 km (mixed driving)
Battery Capacity	81.2 kWh (usable)

BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring Charging Times and Options

At home, the BMW i5 M60 xDrive Touring supports AC charging up to 11–22 kW, depending on the onboard charger specification. On a typical 7–11 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty to 100% takes roughly 8–12 hours, making overnight charging straightforward for most owners. Level 1 (120 V) charging is technically possible but slow and best reserved for emergency top‑ups.

On the road, the i5 M60 xDrive Touring shines with DC fast charging up to 205 kW, allowing a 10–80% top‑up in about 30 minutes under optimal conditions. BMW claims that roughly 97 miles of range can be added in around 10 minutes from a low state of charge. The car uses a CCS connector and is compatible with major public DC fast charging networks, making long‑distance touring entirely realistic.

Charging Method	Time	Speed
Level 1 (120V)	~40–50 hours (0–100%)	~2 kW
Level 2 (240V/7kW)	~11–12 hours (0–100%)	~7 kW
Level 2 (240V/11kW)	~8.5 hours (0–100%)	~11 kW
DC Fast Charge (10-80%)	~30 min	up to 205 kW
