BMW I5 – Review, Specs, Pricing, Features, Videos and More

The BMW 5 Series has undergone the models' biggest change in over 50 years. The 5 Series is now available as the i5, which is completely all-electric. To start, a few models are offered, including the i5 eDrive40i and the i5 M60 xDrive.

The eDrive40 is a single motor variant and should be good for just shy of 300 miles of range on a single charge. The M60 xDrive is the performance variant, with nearly 600 hp and the capability to go from 0 to 60 mph in well under four seconds.

Of all the legacy automakers adopting electic models, BMW's approach might be the best.

Take this, the new, eighth-generation 5 Series. Like the 7 Series debut a year ago, the Neue Fünf shows up with both gasoline- and battery-powered models; the latter dubbed i5. But whereas the 7 arrived in North America with a slant towards dino juice, the 5 is coming at us with a 50:50 split of models. Whats more, buyers wanting higher performance will have to go for the all-electric models. It's a gradual shift, and the electron-munching models still look like the regular car.

It's true: even the BMW 5 Series has gone electric.

In fact, when the eighth-generation "G60" generation model arrives in dealerships later this year, the only high-performance option will be a battery-powered one. That'll be this, the 2024 BMW i5 M60.

With 593 horsepower, does this new light-M car live up to the reputation of the outgoing V8-powered M550i? We had some gorgeous roads outside of Lisbon to find out.
