The 2024 BMW i5 eDrive 40 Looks Good, Drives Better

The 2024 BMW i5 eDrive 40 has an aggressive, yet modern look with an exciting blend of power and efficiency. This all-electric performance sedan has a few surprises, one specifically in its exterior styling. We're taking a first drive of the i5, and exploring all the important specs as well as what price you'll have to pay for this Bavarian electric car. There are ICE and PHEV versions of the 5 series available, but we think the EV version may be the greatest way to experience this BMW and its Ultimate Driving Machine dynamics.

I have an i4 M50 and love it. Maybe I'll get this one when the lease ends.

Nice touch mentioning the Hofmeister Kink. I haven't heard anyone on CZcams note that for two years. You'll notice the H-Kink everywhere in all BMW cars, even the steering wheel in the iX and the digital displays on all new models. And yet, no other reviewers either 1) even knows what it is, or 2) are too stupid to even notice. And no other manufacturer, besides Porsche, has a design theme that has lasted 50 years. Nice job. It would be nice if you used timing gear, especially on slow models, because BMW is the king of sandbagging performance.

Relatively conservative styling, though potentially drowned by other similarly styled vehicles (especially the rear haunches and doubly especially now that KIA has its Tiger Nose design).
Also, holy high pricing Batman!

[@MondernMan]

For $66k starting - it should be much faster, mid 4s at least. The M pricing is in Plaid territory.

No one is racing electric vehicles. The whole point of an electric vehicle is energy conservation. People are more concerned with getting more mileage per charge.

@@PassportBrosBusinessClass Correct. The number one issue holding back wider E.V. adoption by the average consumer is range anxiety.

[@weirdshibainu]

@@MondernMan I won't disagree its pricey...but BMW'S have always been expensive.
