- If you go for a plug-in hybrid or all-electric version, you also get the rear axle air suspension as standard.
- Air suspension is only available for the rear axle, even as an option.

- The M Sport steering wheel is not available with animal-free materials.
- There are some touch points in the interior door that aren’t covered with felt or fabric.
- There is a climate unit in the lower part of the dashboard, without separate climate knobs.
- The EV version has an 81 kWh net battery capacity.
- With 3 miles per kWh (21 kWh/100 kilometers), the car has around 400-500 kilometers (250-300 miles) of electric range in real-world conditions.
- Automatic lane change works, if certain parameters are met, but the system is only level 2.
- The car is extremely silent at highway speeds.
- A base model starts around 60,000 euros but is over 125,000 euros as tested.
- It performs a little better with 3.0L Plug-in-Hybrid due to better aerodynamics than the M60 version.
- There is no frunk.
- The M60 has a cool electric chime during launches.
- It is highly recommended to utilize the comfort seats which are excellent throughout and feature active cooling (with vegansa option) and it would have been best if the rear seats had similar level of features in terms of adjustability and design as well.
