The eighth-generation BMW 5 Series (G60) will premiere in the coming months, complete with a first-ever i5. Bavaria's answer to the Mercedes EQE has been officially confirmed to spawn an M Performance version and it's widely believed to get the i5 M60 suffix. The Munich-based automaker has already announced an i5 Touring is slated for a 2024 release, and in the meantime, our car paparazzi have spoted the electric wagon testing in northern Europe.
Judging by the large front brake and red calipers at both axles, we might be looking at the hotter i5 M60. At the very least, it has the M Sport Package because we can see the M badge hiding behind camo on the front fenders. The "world's most powerful letter" also adorns the two-tone wheels wrapped in winter tires. Upon closer inspection, we're noticing one of the prototypes has the sporty-looking side mirrors that used to be reserved for full-fat M models before trickling down to M Performance cars in recent years.
