The iX M60 sits apart from the rest of BMW's range on offer here: fully electric, built as an SUV rather than a sports coupe, and quieter at speed than anything else in the fleet. For clients who want the badge and the performance numbers — this is the quickest accelerating BMW available through us — without the theatre of a V8 or a convertible roof, it makes a plain case for itself. The 2023 model is offered in a single configuration, which keeps the booking conversation short: one car, one spec, one clear rate starting at €500 a day. In practice it suits a narrower set of days than a supercar would. Business travellers landing at Peretola or arriving by high-speed rail into Santa Maria Novella use it for the airport-to-hotel leg and for meetings that need a car parked outside the ZTL rather than inside it — the iX M60 is comfortable being left at a Lungarno-area hotel or a garage near the station while its driver walks into town. Families or small groups heading out toward Fiesole for the evening, or beyond the city toward Chianti, get the extra seating and boot space an SUV offers, with none of the engine noise on the narrower stretches around Greve. Handover follows the same logic as the rest of the agency's suburban approach: no attempt to bring the car into the historic centre, where camera-enforced restrictions and the shortage of street parking make it impractical. Collection at the airport or at a hotel just outside the ZTL is straightforward, and the electric drivetrain means the return conversation is about charge level rather than fuel receipts — worth confirming at booking, along with deposit and insurance terms, since these are set case by case rather than fixed in advance. For a short corporate stay, a Pitti Uomo trip, or a quiet arrival ahead of a wedding or private event in the hills, the iX M60 gives a modern, low-drama way to move through Florence without drawing on the loudest end of the fleet.
