The short answer

Each part is scored from 0 to 100 on a fixed outside scale. Acclaim comes from published expert lists, launch reviews and awards; the more acclaimed a car, the less its ownership cost counts in this all-time score (its dollars below are unchanged). A part marked not measured carries no weight for this car, and the others share its weight.

Long-term value, shown and not scored

5 prices from sources that allow this use (driveway.com), read October 27, 2026: the middle one is $56,485, about 54% of the price new (47% once the price new is put in today's dollars). Asking prices sit above what cars sell for.

Long-term value starts to count in the score once 75% of the 69 generations have permitted prices. Today 43 do.

The cost to own

About $2,436 a year to own ($1,692 to $4,332), about $10,820 over five years, bought at five years old or its own age if older, kept five years.

  1. Electric drive unit bearing and rear drive faults: about $1,050 over five years, possible (source)

Expect about $1,700 to $4,300 a year; the bill that decides it is electric drive unit bearing and rear drive faults. Ownership risk: moderate.

Best year to buy

2026The best year to buy, reading 40 of 100, about $2,436 a year to own.

No logged change between model years sets it apart; every year reads within 2 points of it, so buy on condition and records.

No year to think twice about: none reads 3 or more points below the 2026, and no logged fault separates them.

From our log of the changes between model years, each with its source. Only changes the score reads count as reasons; recalls BMW fixes for free, options and tuning notes do not. The cost a year is for a car bought at five years old, or its own age if older, kept five years. How the score works.

The longer answer

The M60 makes 532 hp and 749 lb-ft in normal driving and up to 610 hp with Sport Boost, with 811 lb-ft under launch control, enough for 60 mph in 3.6 seconds; the M70 raises the peak to 650 hp.

Air suspension on both axles, rear-wheel steering, Laserlight headlights and Bowers & Wilkins sound are standard on the M60, and the battery (106.3 kWh usable, 112.8 on the M70) gives an EPA range of 274 to 303 miles, depending on year and wheels, and charges at up to 195 kW.

It cost about $106,000 to $113,000 new with destination and loses value quickly; the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, and early cars carry several recalls, including a software fix for a sudden loss of drive power on every iX built through January 2024.

What to look for. A battery health report from a BMW dealer, the warranty start date (the battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles), a VIN check showing the air bag (23V-079), cruise control (23V-409) and drive-software (22V-944 and 25V-395) recalls done, a dealer check for open service campaigns (drive unit bearings, the charging unit), no Drivetrain malfunction warnings in the history, no whine or rumble from either axle, a level stance and no suspension warnings (it rides on air springs at both axles), a Level 2 and a DC fast-charge test, even tire wear, and BMW Certified cover on cars under 60,000 miles.

Holds value

  • The 2026 M70
  • Low mileage with most of the battery warranty left
  • BMW Certified cars
  • Castanea Chestnut or Amido leather
  • Aventurin Red
  • Storm Bay or a 2026 BMW Individual paint
  • The Driving Assistance Professional Package
  • And
  • On an M60
  • The Titanium Bronze exterior details

Hurts resale

  • High mileage near the end of the battery warranty
  • Open recalls
  • Drivetrain or suspension warnings
  • Accident history
  • Base SensaTec cars in common colors
