2024 Model Redesign Year
The i5 is the all-electric version of the 5 Series midsized luxury sedan. The i5 M60 proved to be one of the best cars we've ever tested, thanks to its super quick acceleration, agile handling, and cushy ride. The single-motor, rear-drive i5 eDrive40 produces 335 hp while the dual-motor xDrive40 makes 389 hp. The top-level M60 we tested churns out 590 hp and comes standard with AWD. It covered 295 miles on a single charge during our 70-mph highway range test, far exceeding the EPA's estimate. Maximum acceptance rate at DC fast charging locations is a competitive 205 kilowatts.
The front seats are supportive and very comfortable, while the rear seat is a little cramped for the class. The interior is luxurious and high-tech, with a digital instrument display and a 14.9-inch center touchscreen. Climate functions are accessed through the screen.

2024-Present

2024 Model Redesign Year
For the first time ever, the 5 Series is joined by an all-electric version dubbed i5. These sedans are slightly larger than the previous 5. The electric i5 is offered in single-motor rear-wheel-drive and two-motor all-wheel drive versions. The single-motor i5 eDrive40 produces 335 hp, and the two-motor M60 xDrive makes 590 hp. BMW claims between 239 to 310 miles of range depending on trim and configuration. The amount of available torque can be temporarily boosted with the touch of a button on both trims.
The interior is luxurious and high-tech, featuring an all-digital instrument display and a massive 14.9-inch center touchscreen. The back seat and trunk are generously sized. A full suite of active safety and driver assistance features is standard.
