Before You Drive
3 stepsReserve and Unlock
Book the BMW i5 M60 the same way you book any Envoy vehicle. Locate it in the app, reserve your time, and use the app to unlock the car. Your Envoy app is your key.
Starting the Car
Once inside, press the brake pedal and push the Start/Stop button on the center console. The car will power on silently, and the curved digital display will illuminate.
Selecting Drive Mode
Use the gear selector on the center console to choose D (Drive) or R (Reverse). The i5 has configurable drive modes that adjust throttle response and regenerative braking. Start in Comfort mode if you're new to the car.
Charging
Rear-side portThe charge port is located on the driver's rear quarter panel. Here's what you need to know depending on where you're charging.
CCS1 Fast Charger
The fastest way to charge the i5. Look for ChargePoint, Electrify America, EVgo, or Blink DC fast chargers. Plug the CCS1 connector directly into the port on the driver's rear side. No adapter needed.
Up to 205 kW · 20-80% in ~25 minJ1772 Public Charger
Standard Level 2 chargers at parking garages, retail centers, and public lots use a J1772 connector. The i5 M60 is fully compatible. Plug in and charge at up to 11 kW. Great for a top-up during an extended parking stop.
Up to 11 kW ACYes, with an adapter. The i5 M60 has a CCS1 port and can access Tesla Superchargers equipped with a Magic Dock (built-in CCS adapter) at no extra setup. For standard NACS Superchargers, a CCS1-to-NACS adapter is required. If this vehicle is a 2026 model year, it may come with a native NACS port and bundled adapters. If you're unsure, check the charge port door. When in doubt, look for a Magic Dock-equipped Supercharger or a dedicated CCS fast charger.
Under the Envoy Terms of Service, you must return the vehicle to its designated Envoy spot and plug it into the charger every time, so it is ready for the next driver. Always check the dashboard for your real-time estimated range, which reflects your recent driving, battery state, and climate settings and is more accurate than any fixed figure. If you drop below 30 miles of range mid-booking, find the nearest public charging station and charge before continuing; it is the driver's responsibility to manage the battery range of the vehicle. Returning the vehicle drained or near-empty may result in fines and towing fees under the Terms of Service.
Range
How far can you goThe i5 M60 has excellent range for everyday driving, but a few factors affect what you'll actually see on the dashboard.
EPA-estimated maximum range on a full charge. Real-world range will vary based on driving style, climate, and wheel size.
Drive mode matters. Using the car aggressively in Sport mode uses more energy and lowers your range compared to Comfort or Eco mode.
AC and heat use battery. Running climate control at full blast, especially heat in cold weather, can reduce your range by 10-20%.
Freeway speeds reduce range. Driving at 75+ mph uses more energy than city driving. Plan accordingly on longer trips.
Regen braking adds range back. In city driving, the regenerative braking system recovers energy every time you lift off the accelerator or brake.
The BMW curved display shows your real-time estimated range based on your recent driving patterns, current battery state, and climate settings. This is more accurate than any fixed figure, so glance at it before you leave and plan your trip accordingly.
